1. نَفسي بِشَيءٍ مِنَ الدُنيا مُعَلَّقَةٌ

    اللَهُ وَالقائِمُ المَهدِيُّ يَكفيها

    My soul is attached to something of this world.

    God and the reigning al-Mahdi suffice for it.

  2. إِنّي لَأَيأَسُ مِنها ثُمَّ يُطعِمُني

    فيها اِحتِقارُكَ لِلدُنيا وَما فيها

    Indeed I despair of it; then I am fed

    In it by your disdain for the world and all it contains.
