1. حظّ بالمال النعيم رجال

    لم ينالوا من عمرهم ما أرادوا

    Men enjoyed comfort through wealth,

    Yet did not live as long as they wished.

  2. ومنعتُ النعيم بالمال والأه

    ل ومتّعت بالحياة وبادوا

    And I was denied the comforts of wealth and fami-

    ly, yet granted the enjoyment of life, while they perished.
