لَعَمْرُك ما الدنيا بدارِ إقامةٍ

إذا زالَ عن عين البصير غطاؤها

By your life! This world is not a home for settling down.

Once its veil is lifted from the watcher's eye.

وكيف بقاءُ الناس فيها وإنما

يُنالُ بأسباب الفناء بقاؤها

How can the people remain in it, when

Its survival is only through means of its extinction?
