The Son Of Adam (The Human Being)
The Son of Adam (The Human Being) ابن آدم
- How wretched the son of Adam is! His death is hidden, his ailments concealed, his every action recorded, harmed by the bite of a mosquito, made malodorous by perspiration and caused to die by [something as simple as] choking.
1ـ مِسْكينٌ اِبْنُ آدَمَ، مَكْتُومُ الأجَلِ، مَكْنُونُ العِلَلِ،
مَحفُوظُ العَمَلِ، تُؤْلِمُهُ البَقَّةُ، وتُنْتِنُهُ العَرَقَةُ، وتَقْتُلُهُ الشَّرْقَةُ.
- Woe to the son of Adam! How heedless and negligent of his salvation he is!
2ـ وَيْحَ ابْنِ آدَمَ ما أغْفَلَهُ، وَعَنْ رُشدِهِ ما أذْهَلَهُ.
- Woe to the son of Adam! A prisoner of hunger, prone to overeating, a target of calamities and a successor of the dead.
3ـ وَيْحَ ابْنِ آدَمَ، أسيرُ الجُوعِ، صَريعُ الشَّبَعِ، غَرَضُ
الآفاتِ، خَليفَةُ
