Five before five

اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ: شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ، وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ، وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ، وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغْلِكَ، وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ

Ightanim khamsan qabla khams: shababaka qabla haramik, wa sihhataka qabla saqamik, wa ghinaka qabla faqrik, wa faraghaka qabla shughlik, wa hayataka qabla mawtik.

"Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your busyness, and your life before your death."

Narrated by Ibn Abbas. Mustadrak al-Hakim 7846 (sahih), al-Bayhaqi

A short reflection

Five mirrored pairs. Each one inverts. Spend the current side now, because the second side comes for everyone.
