1. أَجمَلُ بي مِن أَن أُعَدَّ اِمرِأً

    أَو ذيكَ في أَهلِكَ أَن أَهلِكا

    More fitting for me than to be counted a man

    who harms you among your kin is that I should perish.

  2. ما لَكَ تَستَجهِلُني دائِماً

    وَإِنَّما ذَلِكَ مِن جَهلِكا

    Why do you always deem me ignorant?

    And that is only due to your ignorance.

  3. وَكُنتَ في سَيرِكَ مُستَعجِلاً

    فَالآنَ سُيِّرتَ عَلى مَهلِكا

    And you were hurrying on your journey;

    so now you have been made to travel at your leisure.
