Tell the one who was made happy by authority, neglectfully,

قل لمن سر بالولاية مهملا

1. Tell the one who was made happy by authority, neglectfully,
That is a life hastened to sadness.

١. قلْ لمنْ سُرَّ بالولايةِ مهملاً
ذاكَ عيشٌ معجَّلُ التنكيدِ

2. And your prevention of great deeds is difficult,
And neglect is more soothing to the rancor in the chest of the envious.

٢. وتصدِّيكَ للعظائمِ صعبٌ
وَهْوَ أشفى لغلِّ صدرِ الحقودِ

3. These positions pinch,
And split hearts before skins.

٣. غصصٌ هذهِ المناصب تضني
وتشقُّ القلوبَ قبلَ الجلودِ

4. Life is all fatigue, so how strange
Except for one desiring more.

٤. تعبٌ كلُّها الحياةُ فما أع
جبُ إلا مِنْ راغبٍ في المزيدِ

5. That a sadness in the time of isolation is weaker
Than happiness in the state of appointment.

٥. إنَّ حزناً في ساعةِ العزلِ أضعا
فُ سرورٍ في حالةِ التقليدِ
