1. I'm amazed at the one of many experiences, how he is forgetful  
And pursues vain things after serious meditation 
١. عَجِبتُ لِذي التَجاربِ كَيفَ يَسهو
 وَيَتلو اللَهوَ بَعدَ الإِحتِباكِ
2. And he is in bondage of disgraces and sins  
Seeking deliverance halfheartedly   
٢. وَمُرتَهنُ الفَضائِحِ وَالخَطايا
 يُقَصِّرُ بِاِجتِهادٍ لِلفِكاكِ
3. Destroying himself intentionally out of laziness and ignorance
And leading himself to feared perdition   
٣. وَموبِقُ نَفسِهِ كَسَلاً وَجَهَلاً
 وَمورِدُها مَخوفاتِ الهَلاكِ
4. By repeating sins everyday  
With intent upon the forbidden, violating it   
٤. بِتَجديدِ المَآثِمِ كُلَّ يَومٍ
 وَقَصدٍ لِلمُحَرَّمِ بِاِنتِهاكِ
5. He will know when death suddenly surprises him  
And multitudes of lamenters thicken around him 
٥. سَيَعلَمُ حينَ تَفجُؤُهُ المَنايا
 وَيَكثُفُ حَولَهُ جَمعُ البَواكي
