1. Enough of sorrow that wealth is out of reach
And that I am enamored of noble deeds
١. كَفى حَزَناً أَنَّ الغِنى مُتَعَذِّرٌ
عَلَيَّ وَأَنّي بِالمَكارِمِ مُغرَمُ
2. My ambitions did not fall short in their quest
Yet I strive for them though I am deprived
٢. فَما قَصَّرَت بي في المَطالِبِ هِمَّةٌ
وَلَكِنَّني أَسعى إِلَيها وَأُحرَمُ
