1. How many a heedless man has death destroyed,
Who took no provision against its onslaught.
١. كَم غافِلٍ أَودى بِهِ المَوتُ
لَم يَأخُذِ الءُهبَةَ لِلفَوتِ
2. He whom prosperity preceded hither,
Death parted him from that prosperity.
٢. مَن لَم تَزُل نِعمَتُهُ قَبلَهُ
زالَ عَنِ النِعمَةِ بِالمَوتِ
