1. I'm amazed at the heedlessness of those remaining
As they don't learn from what has passed.
١. عَجَباً عَجِبتُ لِغَفلَةِ الباقينا
إِذ لَيسَ يَعتَبِرونَ بِالماضينا
2. Alas, O son of Adam! You have always
Been busy destroying your life since you were a fetus.
٢. ما زِلتَ وَيحَكَ يا اِبنَ آدَمَ دائِباً
في هَدمِ عُمرِكَ مِنذُ كُنتَ جَنينا
