المَرءُ مَنظورٌ إِلَيهِ

ما دامَ يُرجى ما لَدَيهِ

A man is regarded

As long as he is hoped for

مَن كُنتَ تَبغي أَن تَكو

نَ الدَهرَ ذا فَضلٍ عَلَيهِ

If you wish to be

One who has virtue in this life

فَابذُل لَهُ ما في يَدَي

كَ وَأَغضِ عَمّا في يَدَيهِ

Then give to others what is in your hands

And overlook what is in theirs
