1. He said to me, one who does not expect blame
When he saw my hands constantly
١. قالَ لي يَهزَأُ مَن لَم
يَتَوَقَّع مِن ملامَه
2. With its staff supporting itself
Will be mocked until the Day of Judgement
٢. إِذ رَأَى كَفِّيَ دَأباً
بِعَصَاها مُستَهامَه
3. You, by Allah, speak the truth
It will remain until the Resurrection
٣. أَنتَ وَاللَّهِ صَحِيحٌ
سَوفَ تَبقَى لِلقِيامَه
4. I said leave me from the impossible
The old man has complained of weariness
٤. قُلتُ دَعنِي مِن مُحالٍ
قَد شَكا الشَّيخُ السَّآمَه
5. How can permanence be hoped for me
When my wall is with a pillar
٥. كَيفَ يُرجَى لي بَقَاءٌ
وَجِدارِي بِدِعامَه
