1. لِلشامِتينَ رَزايا في شِماتِهِمُ

    فَكُن مُصاباً وَلا تُحسَب مِنَ الشُمُتِ

    For those who gloat, there are calamities in their gloating.

    So be afflicted, and do not be counted among the gloaters.

  2. يَبدو سُرورُ أُناسٍ أَظهَروا حَزَناً

    وَإِن تَسَتَّرَ خَلفَ الأَلسُنِ الصُمُتِ

    The joy of people who displayed grief shows through,

    Even if it hides behind silent tongues.

  3. أَميرُ قَومٍ أَصابَتهُ مَنِيَّتُهُ

    فَضَلَّ مَن قالَ إِنَّ المَرءَ لَم يَمُتِ

    A people's prince was overtaken by his death;

    So whoever said the man had not died was mistaken.
