1. Look at your life, do you see
Anyone staying true in affection?
١. اُنظُر بِعيشِكَ هل تَرى
أحداً يدومُ على المودَّةْ
2. So you may see the friends of luxury
As enemies when hardship visits you.
٢. لِتَرى أخِلاَّءَ الرَّخا
ءِ عِدىً إذا نابَتكَ شِدَّةْ
3. And for all you refuse and desire
If you are patient a while and a period.
٣. ولِكُلِّ ما تَأْبى وتَهْ
وى إن صَبَرْتَ مَدىً ومُدَّةْ
