وَالجَدُّ لَيسَ بِزائِدٍ في رِزقِ مَن

وَالجَدُّ لَيسَ بِزائِدٍ في رِزقِ مَن

يَسعى وَلَيسَ بِنائِمٍ عَن نائِمِ

يَسعى وَلَيسَ بِنائِمٍ عَن نائِمِ

And fortune does not increase the sustenance of one

Hard work does not increase the provision of one who strives,

who strives, nor does it slumber, heedless of a sleeper.

Nor does sleep come to one who is asleep.

وَيَموتُ راعي الضَأنِ عِندَ ثُمامِهِ

وَيَموتُ راعي الضَأنِ عِندَ ثُمامِهِ

مَوتَ الطَبيبِ الفَيلَسوفِ العالِمِ

مَوتَ الطَبيبِ الفَيلَسوفِ العالِمِ

And the shepherd of sheep dies beside his thumam grass,

The shepherd dies with his flock around him,

the same death as the learned physician-philosopher.

Just as the learned physician and philosopher die.
