وَهَبكَ نِلتَ الَّذي تَهواهُ مِن أَمَلِ

أَما وَراهُ الَّذي تَخشاهُ مِن أَجَلِ

You were granted what you desired of hope

Yet beyond it lies what you fear of end

ما الأَمرُ إِلّا مُبينٌ واضِحٌ وَجَلي

فَكَيفَ أُصبِحُ أَو أَمسي عَلى وَجَلِ

The matter is clear, manifest, and evident

How can I become morning or evening worried

إِنّي لأَعلَمُ عُقبى كُلِّ عاجِلَةٍ

لَكِنَّهُ خُلِقَ الإِنسانُ مِن عَجَلِ

Verily I know the consequence of every hastened deed

But man was created of haste
