دَعْ عَنْكَ أَمْراً إنْ نَهَضْ

دَعْ عَنْكَ أَمْراً إنْ نَهَضْ

تَ لَهُ فَعُقْباهُ النَّدامَهْ

تَ لَهُ فَعُقْباهُ النَّدامَهْ

Leave aside a matter that, if you set out

Leave a matter alone if

to pursue it, will end in regret.

Its consequence is regret,

وَاحْرَصْ عَلَى تَحْصِيل مَا

وَاحْرَصْ عَلَى تَحْصِيل مَا

فِيهِ الْغَنِيمَةُ والسَّلامَهْ

فِيهِ الْغَنِيمَةُ والسَّلامَهْ

And strive to obtain what

And seek what is of benefit

holds gain and safety.

With safety and booty.
