عِش ما بَدا لَكَ لا يَبقى عَلى زَمَنٍ

مُخَوَّداتٌ وَلا أُسدٌ وَلا خودُ

Live as you wish, nothing remains the same over time

Caves and lions and leopards too

إِن كُنتَ جَلَداً فَأَجلادي إِلى نَفَدٍ

كَم صَخرَةٍ قَد تَشَظَّت وَهيَ صَيخودُ

If you are tough, you will wear out someday

How many rocks have cracked and crumbled away
