واحيط بثمره فاصبح يقلب كفيه على ما انفق فيها وهي خاوية على عروشها ويقول يا ليتني لم اشرك بربي احدا

So his fruits (and enjoyment) Were encompassed (with ruin), And he remained twisting And turning his hands Over what he had spent On his property, which had (Now) tumbled to pieces To its very foundations, And he could only say, "Woe is me! Would I had Never ascribed partners To my Lord and Cherisher!"
