1. The world will cease with the loss of one who is lost
Or the gain of one who has gained
١. سَتَنقَطِعُ الدُنيا بِنُقصانِ ناقِصٍ
مِنَ الخَلقِ فيها أَو زِيادَةِ زائِدِ
2. And he who makes the most of a day will find it a prize
While he who misses a day will find no return
٢. وَمَن يَغتَنِم يَوماً يَجِدهُ غَنيمَةً
وَمَن فاتَهُ يَومٌ فَلَيسَ بِعائِدِ
3. For death is but a homecoming for which men depart
And mankind are but comers after the first arrival
٣. وَما المَوتُ إِلّا مَورِدٌ عَنهُ مَصدَرٌ
وَما الناسُ إِلّا وارِدٌ بَعدَ وارِدِ
