احمدوا اللَهَ وحثّوا كأسكم
إنّماonly المغبونُthe one at a loss منwho لاnot يحمدهpraises Him

Praise God, and hasten to drink your cup.
Praise God and pass your cup around
Only the one who does not praise Him is at a loss.
For he who fails to praise is truly lost

أعجزُ الناس مضيعٌ يومَهُ

وهو لا يعلمُ ما يجني غده
The most helpless of people is one who wastes his day,
The weakest man is he who wastes his day
while he does not know what his tomorrow will yield.
Not knowing what the morrow will cost
