بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
There is a poem by Imam al-Sajjad (عليه السلا), referenced in Al-Bidāya wa-n-nihāya (البداية والنهاية) by Ismail ibn Kathir (here):
تُخَـرِّبُ مَـا يَبْقَى، وَتعْمُرُ فَانِياً
Destroying what is everlasting you are building the perishing
فَلاَ ذَاكَ مَوْفُورٌ، وَلاَ ذَاكَ عَامرُ
Neither will the former be intact, nor will the latter flourish
وَهَلْ لَكَ إِنْ وَافَاكَ حَتْفُكَ بَغْتَةً
And when your fate catches up to you all of a sudden
وَلَمْ تَكْتَسِبْ خَيْرَاً لَدَى اللهِ عَاذِرُ؟
What excuse will you have before your Lord?
أَتَرْضَى بِأَنْ تُقْضَى الحَياةُ وَتَنْقَضِي
How will you be content when your life is over
وَدِينُـكَ مَنْقُوصٌ وَمَالكَ وَافِرُ؟
If your deen is deficient, but (only) your wealth abundant? A rendering with slightly different rendering can be watched below:
