1. يُحَوَّلُ عَن قَريبٍ مِن قُصورٍ

    مُزَخرَفَةٍ إِلى بَيتِ التُرابِ

    He will soon be moved from palaces

    Ornately decorated, to the house of dust.

  2. فَيُسلَمَ فيهِ مَهجوراً فَريداً

    أَحاطَ بِهِ شُحوبُ الإِغتِرابِ

    Then he will be left there, forsaken and alone,

    The pallor of estrangement surrounding him.

  3. وَهَولُ الحَشرِ أَفظَعُ كُلِّ أَمرٍ

    إِذا دُعِيَ اِبنُ آدَمَ لِلحِسابِ

    And the terror of the Gathering is the most dreadful of all things,

    When the son of Adam is summoned for the reckoning,

  4. وَأَلفى كُلَّ صالِحَةٍ أَتاها

    وَسَيِّئَةٍ جَناها في الكِتابِ

    And finds every good deed he performed

    And every evil deed he committed in the book.

  5. لَقَد آنَ التَزَوُّدُ إِن عَقِلنا

    وَأَخذُ الحَظِّ مِن باقي الشَبابِ

    The time has surely come to lay in provisions, if we have sense,

    And to take our share of what remains of youth.
