هيَ الدنيا محاسِنُها
سَوآءٌ او مساويها
The world—its beauties,
or its evils—are all the same.
اذا اخذت وان اعطت
سوآءٌ عند داريها
Whether it takes or gives,
it is all the same to one who knows it.
شَقيٌ من تعشَّقها
سَعيدٌ من يخلّيها
Wretched is whoever falls in love with it;
happy is whoever lets it go.
Sol 5.6
