indeed dunya is like a sea, containing both small and large fish

wa laqad yakfeeka minha ayyuha taalibu qoot
certainly, what suffices you of it, oh seeker of dunya, is only what is sufficient for survival wa la'amri 'an qaleelin, kullu man feeha yamoot
indeed very soon, everything that is in it will vanish

innama dunya fanaa, laysa li dunya thuboot
innama dunya ka bahrin, yahtawee samakan wa hoot
 [bad word] waqtaka feeha qabla ma feeha yafoot
take advantage of your time, before the opportunities pass you by
qul bikhairin tajtaneehi aw tahalla bis sukoot
say that which is good, it will benefit you, or ornament yourself with silence.

innama dunya fanaa, laysa li dunya thuboot
innama dunya ka bahrin, yahtawee samakan wa hoot
