1. My fortune's meager share of wealth betrayed me
As time's vicissitudes made my means decrease
١. إِن خَسَّ حَظِّيَ مِن مالٍ تَخَوَّنَهُ
صَرفُ الزَمانِ فَما عِرضِي بِمَخسوسِ
2. You ignore me, yet my days remind you still
Or jail me, but my verse is never bound
٢. أَو تُغفِلوني فَأَيّامي تُذَكِّرُكُم
أَو تَحبِسوني فَما شِعري بِمَحبوسِ
