مطالبُ دُنياهُ بإِتعابِ نَفسِهِ
كَوَرَّادِlike one who repeatedly visits water مَاءٍwater مِنfrom أُجَاجٍbitter brine مُكَدَّرِmurky
كَوَرَّادِ مَاءٍ مِن أُجَاجٍ مُكَدَّرِ
He who seeks his worldly gain by exhausting himself
Is like one who keeps drawing water from murky, bitter brine.

فَمَا ازدادَ شُرباً مِنهُ إلاَّ أَثابَهُ

بهِ عَطَشاً يَرويهِ في كُلِّ مَصدَرِ
For he never drinks more of it without its rewarding him
With thirst to “quench” him each time he leaves the water.
