1. How near is death, so near!
It comes to you with all its force.

2. O you, who takes comfort
In death at times, and rises at dawn.

3. Can you make up for the life
That has passed, and get it back?

4. Wisdom is clearer than
The wise can see it.

5. Be gentle with your affairs,
And make your life balanced.

6. With the wisdom of your opinion, do not
Become a slave to money.

7. Any good that comes to you
Will bring you reward and praise.

8. You will die alone and come
On Judgement Day alone.

9. Happy is the pious servant
Who does not tire of doing good.
