This likeness of me is forever present with you;
My ideal for you is always present
And in my view, the portrait is better than the body.
And painting in my doctrine is better than the body
فالجِسمُfor the body يذهَبُvanishes بعدafter الموتِdeath مندَثِراًdecaying away
فالجِسمُ يذهَبُ بعد الموتِ مندَثِراً
والرسمُand the portrait يلبثُremains موجوداin existence إلىuntil الأبَدeternity
والرسمُ يلبثُ موجودا إلى الأبَد
For the body vanishes after death, decaying away,
For the body perishes after death scattered
And the portrait remains in existence for eternity.
While the painting remains existing forever
