1. لِعَزمِكَ أَمضِ اليَومَ دونَ تَرَدَّدٍ

    وَبادِر وَحاذِر أَن تَقولَ إِلى غَدِ

    Act on your resolve today without hesitation,

    And hasten, and beware of saying, “Until tomorrow.”

  2. فَكَم قَد يَفوتُ المَرءِ خَيرَ واصِلِهِ

    قَليلٌ مِنَ الإِهمالِ أَو مِن تَرَدُّدِ

    For how often a man misses the good coming his way

    Through a little neglect or hesitation.
