1. عَليكَ بِما يُثنَى عَليك بِهِ وَما

    تَدومُ بِهِ ذِكراكَ بِالخَيرِ في الدَّهرِ

    Devote yourself to what earns you praise, and what

    keeps your memory honored throughout the ages.

  2. فَإِنْ مِتَّ فَالأَحياءُ تَذكُر بَينَهم

    وَمِنهم لَكَ الذّكرى تعدُّ مِن العُمرِ

    For if you die, the living will remember you among themselves,

    and their remembrance of you counts as part of your life.
