1. يا ذاكر الموت في قلبٍ يُحسُّ به

    أنت امرؤٌ زاهدٌ عن رزقه فرغا

    O you who remember death in a heart that feels it,

    You are an ascetic man, free of concern for his livelihood.

  2. قد فات كلَّ غبيٍّ بات مُنتَشباً

    بمالِه وإلى باب السما بلغا

    You have surpassed every fool who spends the night entangled

    In his wealth, and have reached the gate of heaven.
