1. My wealth Ismail, greeting has diminished
It withers like flowers after rainfall
١. أَمَولايَ إِسماعيلُ غِبَّ تَحيَّةٍ
تَضُوع كَأَزهار الرُبى إِثرَ تَهطالِ
2. My arena has been emptied of silver dirhams
Just as my ruins were filled with silver snow
٢. لَقَد خُلِّيَت مِن فَضَّةِ الخُرجِ ساحَتي
كَما عُمّرت مِن فَضّة الثَلجِ أَطلالي
3. So hurry, but don't let the evil hand of fate hurry you
With news for the petitioner of a known misfortune
٣. فَجُد عاجِلاً لا عاجَلَتكَ يَدُ النَوى
بِنَأيٍ عَلى الدَاعي بِمَعلوم شَوّالِ
