اللَهُ لا رَيبَ فيهِ وَهوَ مُحتَجِبٌ

بادٍ وَكُلٌّ إِلى طَبعٍ لَهُ جَذَبا

God, no doubt of Him, though He is hidden

The winds blow and all lean towards their innate dispositions

أَهلُ الحَياةِ كَإِخوانِ المَماتِ فَأَه

وِن بِالكُماةِ أَطالوا السُمرَ وَالعَذَبا

The people of life are like brothers of death, so watch out

For those bent on stillness have lingered over wine and sweetness

لايَعلَمُ الشَريُ ما أَلقى مَرارَتَهُ

إِلَيهِ وَالأَريُ لَم يَشعُر وَقَد عَذُبا

The evil know not what bitterness they have inflicted

Upon it, nor the naked how they have been made to suffer

سَأَلتُموني فَأَعيَتني إِجابَتُكُم

مَن اِدَّعى أَنَّهُ دارٍ فَقَد كَذِبا

You asked me, so your asking wearied me -

Whoever claims he is lasting, he has lied
