1. رَحَلنا إِلى الروم مِن جلق

    وَطِرف الأَماني عراه العَرج

    We journeyed to Rum from Jilliq,

    And hope’s noble steed was struck lame.

  2. وَلَيسَ سِوى اللَه مِن ناصر

    إِذا ما غَريم تَقاضى وَلج

    And there is no helper but God

    Whenever a creditor demands payment and persists.

  3. خَلَعنا الهُموم عَلى شيرز

    وَعِندَ المَضيق لَقَينا الفَرَج

    We shed our cares at Shirz,

    And at the narrows we found relief.
