لَعَمرُكَ ما الدُنيا بِدار إِقامَة

لَعَمرُكَ ما الدُنيا بِدار إِقامَة

وَلَكِنَّها دار اِنتِقال لمن عقل

وَلَكِنَّها دار اِنتِقال لمن عقل

By your life, this world is no abode of lasting residence;

By your life, this world is not a home

By your life, the world is not a permanent abode,

But it is an abode of passage for whoever understands.

But a place of transition, for those who understand

But a house of passage for those who understand.
