سَتَنقَطِعُ الدُنيا بِنُقصانِ ناقِصٍ

سَتَنقَطِعُ الدُنيا بِنُقصانِ ناقِصٍ

مِنَ الخَلقِ فيها أَو زِيادَةِ زائِدِ

مِنَ الخَلقِ فيها أَو زِيادَةِ زائِدِ

The world will end with the loss of one

The world will cease with the loss of one who is lost

Among its creatures, or the addition of one more.

Or the gain of one who has gained

وَمَن يَغتَنِم يَوماً يَجِدهُ غَنيمَةً

وَمَن يَغتَنِم يَوماً يَجِدهُ غَنيمَةً

وَمَن فاتَهُ يَومٌ فَلَيسَ بِعائِدِ

وَمَن فاتَهُ يَومٌ فَلَيسَ بِعائِدِ

And whoever makes good use of a day finds it a gain.

And he who makes the most of a day will find it a prize

And if a day passes someone by, it will not return.

While he who misses a day will find no return

وَما المَوتُ إِلّا مَورِدٌ عَنهُ مَصدَرٌ

وَما المَوتُ إِلّا مَورِدٌ عَنهُ مَصدَرٌ

وَما الناسُ إِلّا وارِدٌ بَعدَ وارِدِ

وَما الناسُ إِلّا وارِدٌ بَعدَ وارِدِ

And death is but a watering place from which one departs,

For death is but a homecoming for which men depart

And people are but one arrival after another.

And mankind are but comers after the first arrival
