من عجب الدنيا امرؤ

من عجب الدنيا امرؤ

بغيره ما اعتبرا

بغيره ما اعتبرا

Among the world's wonders is a man

How strange is one who sees

who has taken no lesson from others;

Yet will not take a lesson from another

فلا يزال طامعا

فلا يزال طامعا

حتى يوارى في الثرى

حتى يوارى في الثرى

and so he remains ever covetous

Ever remaining greedy

until he is buried in the earth.

Until he is buried in the earth
