1. وقلت لمحزون بموت حميمه

    له دمعة بل الجفون غريرها

    And I said to one grieving the death of his dear friend,

    Whose tear wetted his eyelids with its copious flow (assuming an apparent typo):

  2. أعرت فلا تجزع لرد معارة

    لهوت بها حتى ابتغاها معيرها

    You were lent something; do not despair at returning a loan.

    You took pleasure in it until its lender sought it back.

  3. ألا إنما الدنيا وكل عطيّة

    إلى الله منشيها الكريم مصيرها

    Behold, this world and every gift—

    Their final return is only to God, their generous Creator.
