15. With every pleasure remember its [eventual] end, and with every blessing [recall] its removal, and with every hardship its [ultimate] relief; for indeed this makes the blessings last longer, subdues lustful desires more, takes vanity further away, brings relief closer, and is more conducive for the relieving of distress and attainment of aspirations.

15 أُذْكُرْ مَعَ كُلِّ لَذَّة زَوالَها، ومَعَ كُلِّ نِعْمَة اِنْتِقالَها، وَمَعَ كُلِّ بَلِيَّة كَشْفَها، فَإنَّ ذلِكَ أبْقى لِلنِّعْمَةِ، وأنْفى لِلشَّهْوَةِ، وأذْهَبُ لِلْبَطَرِ، وأقْرَبُ إلَى الفَرَجِ، وَأجْدَرُ بِكَشْفِ الغُمَّةِ ودَرْكِ المَأّْمُولِ.
