1. Death amongst people is common
No ruler remains nor king
١. المَوتُ بَينَ الخَلقِ مُشتَرَكُ
لاسوقَةٌ يَبقى وَلا مَلِكُ
2. Of no use to the poor was their paucity
Nor could the kings their riches spare
٢. ما ضَرَّ أَصحابَ القَليلِ وَما
أَغنى عَنِ الأَملاكِ ما مَلَكوا
3. In death their paths were no different
Indeed one path they all did share
٣. لَم يَختَلِف في المَوتِ مَسلَكُهُم
لابَل سَبيلاً واحِداً سَلَكوا
