وَمَن يَصحَبِ الدُنيا يَكُن مِثلَ قابِضٍ

عَلى الماءِ خانَتهُ فُروجُ الأَصابِعِ

Whoever befriends this world will be like one who grasps

And whoever befriends the world is like one grasping

At water - the faster he grabs, the faster it slips through his fingers

At water, betrayed by the gaps between his fingers.
