البدار البدار قبل الفوات

Hurry, hurry before it's too late.

Life is short, deeds are many, and death comes unexpectedly.

So seize the days of your youth before your old age.

And your health before your illness.

And your free time before you're busy.

And your wealth before your poverty.

And your life before your death.

فإنك لا تدري متى يفجأك الأجل، فتندم حيث لا ينفع الندم

You don't know when the end will surprise you, so you'll regret when regret is of no use.
