1. يا مُزدَهَينَ بحُسِنهم وجُسومِهِم

    الحُسنُ ظِلٌّ والجُسومُ تُرابُ

    O those who glory in their beauty and their bodies,

    Beauty is a shadow, and bodies are dust.

  2. قد غَرَّكُم ماءُ الحيوةِ لجهلِكُم

    ومياهُ ذي الدُنيا الغَرُورِ سَرابُ

    Indeed, the water of life has deceived you because of your ignorance,

    And the waters of this deceitful world are a mirage.
