عُمرُ الفَتى ذِكرُهُ لا طُولُ مُدَّتِهِ

وَمَوتُهُ خُزيه لا يومُهُ الداني

A young man’s life is his reputation, not his lifespan’s length,

And his death is his disgrace, not the day he passes.

فَأَحي ذِكرَك بِالإِحسانِ تُودِعُهُ

تَجمع بِذَلِكَ في الدُنيا حَياتانِ

So keep your reputation alive through kindness; entrust it

And you will, through this, unite two lives in this world.
