لَن تَقومَ الدُنيا بِمَرِّ الأَهِلَّه

فَاِسلُ عَنها فَإِنَّها مُضمَحِلَّه

The world will not be set right by the passing of the crescents,

So cease to count on it, for it is decaying.

يا بَني الدُنيا أَتُغرَونَ بِالدُن

يا وَلَيسَت لِأَهلِها بِمَحَلَّه

O people of the world, do transient things delude you?

Yet they have no place of abode for their people.

مِن أَبٍ واحِدٍ خُلِقنا وَأُمٍّ

غَيرَ أَنّا في المالِ أَولادُ عَلَّه

We were created from one father and mother,

Except that in wealth we are elevated and abased.

إِنَّ في صِحَّةِ الإِخاءِ مِنَ النا

سِ وَفي صِحَّةِ الوَفاءِ لَقَلَّه

Truly in the integrity of brotherhood there is, for people,

A little, and in the integrity of loyalty, littleness.

فَاِلبَسِ الناسَ ما اِستَطَعتَ عَلى الصَب

رِ وَإِلّا لَم تَستَقِم لَكَ خُلَّه

Clothe people, as much as you are able, with patience,

Otherwise your bonds will not remain straight for you.

ما بَقاءُ الإِخاءِ مِن مُتَجَنٍّ

يَبتَغي مِنكَ عَلَّةً بَعدَ عِلَّه

No continuance of brotherhood remains from a blamer

Who seeks from you a fault after a slip.

عِش وَحيداً إِن كُنتَ لا تَقبَلُ العُذ

رَ وَإِن كُنتَ لا تُجاوِزُ زَلَّه

Live alone if you do not accept an excuse

And if you do not overlook a stumble.
