المَوتُ بَينَ الخَلقِ مُشتَرَكُ

لاسوقَةٌ يَبقى وَلا مَلِكُ

Death amongst people is common

No ruler remains nor king

ما ضَرَّ أَصحابَ القَليلِ وَما

أَغنى عَنِ الأَملاكِ ما مَلَكوا

Of no use to the poor was their paucity

Nor could the kings their riches spare

لَم يَختَلِف في المَوتِ مَسلَكُهُم

لابَل سَبيلاً واحِداً سَلَكوا

In death their paths were no different

Indeed one path they all did share
