انما الدنيا فنا ليس للدنيا ثبوت

Innamad-dunya fanaa, laysa lid-dunya thuboot

Indeed dunya* is finite, dunya does not last

انما الدنيا كبحر يحتوى سمكا وحوت

Innamad-dunya ka bahrin, yahtawee samakan wa hoot

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

Wa laqad yakfeeka minha ayyuhat- taalibu qoot

Certainly, what suffices you of it, oh seeker of dunya, is only what is sufficient for survival

ولعمرى عن قليل كل من فيها يموت

Wa la'amri 'an qaleelin, kullu man feeha yamoot

Indeed very soon, everything that is in it will vanish

فاغتنم وقتك فيها قبل ما فيها يفوت

Take advantage of your time, before the opportunities pass you by

قل بخير تجتنيه او تحلى بالسكوت

Qul bikhairin tajtaneehi aw tahalla bis-sukoot

Say that which is good, it will benefit you, or ornament yourself with silence.

وقت (غنیمت ؟؟) ہے اے جان، قبل کہ مٹ جائے جہاں

x2

(Waqt Ghaneemat ??) Hai Ai Jaan, Qabl Ke Mit Jaaye Jahan

گفتگو اچھی توں کر یہاں ورنہ چپ رہ توں یہاں

Guftagu Achchi Tuu Kar Yahan Warna Chup Reh Tuu Yahan
