من حان يومه ما نفع طب وانعاش *** ولا يرجعه
When his day comes, no medicine or resuscitation will help
سكب الدموع الطشايش
Nor will it bring him back, pouring out tears in torrents
العمر مثل العشب في مدفق الطاش *** لابد يذبل
Life is like grass in a flowing stream, it must wither
ثم يصبح حشايش
Thumma yuṣbiḥ ḥashāyish
Then it becomes dry straw
والموت لرواح المخاليق فشاش *** وسهم المنايا
Wa al-mawt li-arwāḥ al-makhālīq fashshāsh, wa sahm al-manāyā
And death is a reaper for the souls of creatures, and the arrow of doom
لكل مخلوق نايش
Li-kull makhlūq nāyish
Reaches every creature
والعبد ما يقدر عن الموت ينحاش *** ولافاق خوف
And a servant cannot escape death, nor can the fear of
أهل القلوب الخرايش
Ahl al-qulūb al-kharāyish
Frightened hearts
لو كان في قصر مثل ضلع عكاش *** عليه يسطي
Even if he were in a palace like the mountain of Akkas, it would overcome him
لو يصك الدرايش
Law yaṣukk ad-darāyish
Even if he closes the windows tightly
وآخر مصير العبد رفقه من الشاش *** وسط المقابر
And the final destiny of a servant is a shroud of white cloth
والحفور النبايش
Wasaṭ al-maqābir wa al-ḥufūr an-nabāyish
Amidst the graves and dug pits
ليت الصخي فخر القبيله لنا عاش *** حران اللي
If only the generous pride of the tribe had lived for us, the free one who
لعلوم الأجواد حايش
Gathered the knowledge of noble people
Lines explained
“العمر مثل العشب في مدفق الطاش *** لابد يذبل”
Life is like grass in a flowing stream, it must wither
This line uses a common metaphor comparing the fleeting nature of life to grass that grows and then withers, emphasizing its transient quality.
“والموت لرواح المخاليق فشاش *** وسهم المنايا”
Wa al-mawt li-arwāḥ al-makhālīq fashshāsh, wa sahm al-manāyā
And death is a reaper for the souls of creatures, and the arrow of doom
The imagery of death as a 'reaper' and its 'arrow' highlights its inescapable and decisive power over all living beings.
“لو كان في قصر مثل ضلع عكاش *** عليه يسطي”
Even if he were in a palace like the mountain of Akkas, it would overcome him
The reference to a 'palace like the mountain of Akkas' (a large, prominent mountain) illustrates that no amount of wealth, power, or physical protection can shield one from death.
