لا تَغْتَبِط بسرورِ دُنْ

لا تَغْتَبِط بسرورِ دُنْ

يَا ما يدومُ بها سُرُورُ

يَا ما يدومُ بها سُرُورُ

Do not exult in this world's joy;

Do not rejoice at the fleeting joys of life

no joy in it endures.

For in it there is no lasting pleasure to find

وكذاكَ لا تَجْزَع لِحَا

وكذاكَ لا تَجْزَع لِحَا

دِثَةٍ تَضِيقُ بها الصُّدورُ

دِثَةٍ تَضِيقُ بها الصُّدورُ

And likewise, do not despair over a calamity

And likewise, do not grieve at an event

that makes chests tighten.

That troubles and weighs heavily on your heart

فجميعُ ما فيهِ الأَنَا

فجميعُ ما فيهِ الأَنَا

مُ أَلَيْسَ آخِرَهُ القبورُ

مُ أَلَيْسَ آخِرَهُ القبورُ

For all that humankind lives through—

For everything that resides within the self

are not the graves its end?

Is not its final end the grave?
