تَرَحَّل مِنَ الدُنيا بِزادٍ مِنَ التُقى

تَرَحَّل مِنَ الدُنيا بِزادٍ مِنَ التُقى

فَعُمرُكَ أَيّامٌ تُعَدُّ قَلائِلُ

فَعُمرُكَ أَيّامٌ تُعَدُّ قَلائِلُ

Depart this world with provisions of piety;

He journeyed from this world with piety as provision

For your life is but a few numbered days.

So your life is but days, few they are numbered

وَدَع عَنكَ ما تَجري بِهِ لُجَجُ الهَوى

وَدَع عَنكَ ما تَجري بِهِ لُجَجُ الهَوى

إِلى غَمَراتٍ لَيسَ فيهِنَّ عاقِلُ

إِلى غَمَراتٍ لَيسَ فيهِنَّ عاقِلُ

And leave aside what the deep seas of desire carry

Leave behind what desire leads you to insist on

Into engulfing depths where no sensible person is found.

To deluges wherein is no wise man
