وَصَفوُها لَكَ مَمزوجٌ بَتَكديرِ
People eagerly pursue this world through planning;
People have a greed for this world and its gains
People harbor greed for the world with endless scheming,
And its serenity for you is mingled with distress.
Though its pleasure for you is mixed with pains
Yet its purity is forever mixed with murkiness.

وَعاجِزٍ نالَ دُنياهُ بِتَقصيرِ
How many a persistent seeker of it finds it does not favor him,
How many worthy men it does not aid
How many persist in its pursuit, yet it aids them not,
While an incapable man has gained his worldly share with little effort.
And weaklings gain their worldly goods with little pains
While the incompetent attains his fortune despite his negligence.

They were not granted it through intellect when they were provided for;
They were not granted it by their wisdom when granted
They were not granted provision based on intellect when they were endowed,
But they were granted it by fate's decrees.
But it was granted by divine ordains
But rather, they were granted it through divine decrees.

طارَ البُزاةُ بِأَرزاقِ العَصافيرِ
If it came through strength or overpowering others,
Had it been by power or efforts impelling
If it were a matter of strength or forceful conquest,
The hawks would fly off with the sparrows' sustenance.
Vagabonds would have taken the birds' grains
The falcons would have flown off with the sustenance of the sparrows.

أَحَبُّ مِن لُقمَةٍ تُحشى بِزَنبورِ
And a morsel I eat with coarsely ground salt
A morsel with salt is dearer to its eater
A single morsel eaten with coarse salt
Is dearer to me than a morsel stuffed with a wasp.
Than a sumptuous feast that is filled with disdains
Is dearer to me than a morsel stuffed with a hornet.

كَحَبَةِ القَمحِ دَقَّت عُنقَ عَصفورِ
How many a morsel has brought death to its owner,
How many a morsel brought death to its taker
How often has a bite brought doom to its owner,
Like a grain of wheat that broke a sparrow's neck.
Like a grain of wheat that cracked a sparrow's brains
Like the grain of wheat that snapped the sparrow's neck.
