فَليسَ بَعد الموتِ دارٌ سِوى

جنَّةِ عَدْنٍ أو لَظىً تَضرَمُ

After death, there is no abode but

The Garden of Eden or a blazing flame.

والموعِدُ الحشرُ ونُجزَى عن ال

أعمالِ والغبنُ لمن يَندَمُ

And the time of Resurrection when we are rewarded for

Our deeds, and regret is for those who repent.

ويُنْصَفُ المظلومُ من خَصمِهِ

ويستوي السُّلطانُ والمُعدَمُ

The oppressed shall be vindicated from their adversary,

And the sultan and the destitute shall be equal.

ويشخَصُ الخلقُ إلى حاكِمٍ

يحكُم فيهم بالّذي يَعلَمُ

People will stand before the Judge

Who will judge them for what He knows.

ولِلّيالي واعظٌ صامتٌ

يُسمِعُنا لو أنّنا نَفهَمُ

The nights have a silent preacher,

If only we understood what he says.

والنّاسُ في الدّنيا نيامٌ وما

أسرعَ ما يستيقظُ النُّوَّمُ

People are asleep in this life, how

Quickly the sleepy will awaken.

ويقدَمُ الخلقُ على وِزْرِ ما

تَقَلَّدوا أو أجرِ ما قَدَّمُوا

Creation will come with the burden of

What they took on themselves or the reward of what they forwarded.
