لا تَغْتَبِط بسرورِ دُنْ

يَا ما يدومُ بها سُرُورُ

Do not rejoice at the fleeting joys of life

For in it there is no lasting pleasure to find

وكذاكَ لا تَجْزَع لِحَا

دِثَةٍ تَضِيقُ بها الصُّدورُ

And likewise, do not grieve at an event

That troubles and weighs heavily on your heart

فجميعُ ما فيهِ الأَنَا

مُ أَلَيْسَ آخِرَهُ القبورُ

For everything that resides within the self

Is not its final end the grave?
