نَوائِبُ مِن خَيرٍ وَشَرٍّ كِلَيهِما

نَوائِبُ مِن خَيرٍ وَشَرٍّ كِلَيهِما

فَلا الخَيرُ مَمدودٌ وَلا الشَرُّ لازِبُ

فَلا الخَيرُ مَمدودٌ وَلا الشَرُّ لازِبُ

Turns of fortune, both good and ill—

The fates of good and evil change by turns,

so neither good is prolonged nor ill enduring.

Neither is good ever-present, nor evil ever-enduring.
