1. I have abandoned evils and wrongdoings
Though I wish they would still be
١. هجرت المساوئ والمنكرات
وإنّي أحبّهما أن يكونا
2. I have traversed countries and lands
Roaming them all so eras would pass
٢. وجبت البلاد وأقطارها ال
فساح جميعا فخفت القرونا
3. And I have exhausted the earth through my actions
Out of arrogance, so I fear suspicions
٣. ودوخت أرضا بفعلي
غرورا فأخشى الظنونا
4. A person is measured by his wisdom
Fat and thin, in him you see softness
٤. وشخصٌ يقاس بفطنته
سمين وغثّ ترى فيه لينا
5. Through my wisdom and determination
I have eaten the thin and avoided the fat
٥. فمن فطنتي وذكا همّتي
أكلت الهزيل وعفت السمينا
6. And that is not out of ignorance, but
I have seen greed brings death closer
٦. وما ذاك جهلا ولكنّني
رايت المطامع تدني المنونا
7. With a clear vision I saw that
Eyes see me, so I feared eyes
٧. رأيت بعين الصفا أنّني
تراني العيون فخفت العيونا
