1. Do not boast over me of what remains to you
For boasting befits the perfect, accomplished man

2. And if men exalt themselves by their merit
Then sit, for you are not the exalter

3. Your Lord gave you what you desired
Yet you find contrary to your desire at death

4. You ascend the pulpits every day hoping
What after me you cannot attain

5. So you blame whoever exalts over you by his merit
And repeat false speech against me
