لا تَخبَأَن لِغَدٍ رِزقاً وَبَعدَ غَدٍ

لا تَخبَأَن لِغَدٍ رِزقاً وَبَعدَ غَدٍ

فَكُلُّ يَومٍ يُوافي رِزقُهُ مَعَهُ

فَكُلُّ يَومٍ يُوافي رِزقُهُ مَعَهُ

Never store up sustenance for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Do not hide provision for tomorrow or the day after

For every day comes with its sustenance.

For each day brings its own provision with it

وَاِذخَر جَميلاً لِأَدنى القوتِ تُدرِكُهُ

وَاِذخَر جَميلاً لِأَدنى القوتِ تُدرِكُهُ

وَلِلقِيامَةِ تَعرِف ذاكَ أَجمَعَهُ

وَلِلقِيامَةِ تَعرِف ذاكَ أَجمَعَهُ

And store up kindness for the least sustenance you obtain,

And do good for the least sustenance that will reach you

And for the Resurrection—you will recognize all of that.

And for the Day of Resurrection you will find it gathered

فَرِق تِلادَكَ فيما شِئتَ مُحتَقِراً

فَرِق تِلادَكَ فيما شِئتَ مُحتَقِراً

فَلَيسَ يَذرِفُ خَلفَ النَعشِ أَدمُعَه

فَلَيسَ يَذرِفُ خَلفَ النَعشِ أَدمُعَه

Distribute your inherited wealth as you wish, holding it in contempt,

So disperse your wealth as you wish disdaining little

For it does not shed its tears behind the bier.

For none will shed tears behind your bier

وَاِفعَل بِغَيرِكَ ما تَهواهُ يَفعَلُهُ

وَاِفعَل بِغَيرِكَ ما تَهواهُ يَفعَلُهُ

وَأَسمِعِ الناسَ ما تَختارُ مِسمَعَه

وَأَسمِعِ الناسَ ما تَختارُ مِسمَعَه

And do to another what you would like him to do to you,

And do to others what you desire they would do to you

And let people hear what you would choose to hear.

And let people hear what you choose for them to hear

وَأَكثَرُ الإِنسِ مِثلُ الذِئبِ تَصحَبُهُ

وَأَكثَرُ الإِنسِ مِثلُ الذِئبِ تَصحَبُهُ

إِذا تَبَيَّنَ مِنكَ الضَعفُ أَطعَمَه

إِذا تَبَيَّنَ مِنكَ الضَعفُ أَطعَمَه

And most people are like the wolf you keep company with:

And most people are like wolves, befriend them

When weakness becomes apparent in you, it feeds him.

If weakness in you is made plain, they will devour you
