اعْمَلْ لِدُنْيَاكَ كَأَنَّكَ تَعِيشُ أَبَدًا.

Work for your worldly life as if you will live forever.

وَلَوْ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ.

If I had known the unseen, I would have acquired much good, and no harm would have touched me.

دَعَتِ الْأَدْيَانُ إِلَى احْتِرَامِ الْأُمِّ، فَهِيَ الَّتِي ضَحَّتْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ فِي سَبِيلِ تَرْبِيَةِ الْأَبْنَاءِ.

Religions advocate for the respect of mothers, for they sacrifice everything to raise their children.

لَمْ يَلِدْ، وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ.

He neither begets nor is born, and there is none comparable to Him.

لَأُسَاهِمَنَّ فِي التَّنْمِيَةِ الشَّامِلَةِ لِوَطَنِي الْغَالِي.

I will contribute to the overall development of my dear homeland.

فَكُلِي وَاشْرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيْنًا.

So eat, drink, and be at peace.

اصْبِرَنَّ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ الْأَحْدَاثِ.

Be patient in the face of adversity.
