1. كُلُّ اِمرِئٍ فيما يَدينُ يُدانُ

    سُبحانَ مَن لَم يَخلُ مِنهُ مَكانُ

    Every person is repaid according to how he treats others.

    Glory be to Him of whom no place is empty.

  2. يا عامِرَ الدُنيا لِيَسكُنَها وَما

    هِيَ بِالَّتي يَبقى بِها سُكّانُ

    O you who build up this world to dwell in it—yet

    It is not a place whose dwellers endure.

  3. تَفنى وَتَبقى الأَرضُ بَعدَكَ مِثلَما

    يَبقى المُناخُ وَتَرحَلُ الرُكبانُ

    You perish, while the earth remains after you, just as

    The campsite remains while the riders depart.

  4. أَأُسَرُّ في الدُنيا بِكُلِّ زِيادَةٍ

    وَزِيادَتي فيها هِيَ النُقصانُ

    Should I rejoice in this world at every gain,

    When my gain in it is loss?
