1. لِلشامِتينَ رَزايا في شِماتِهِمُ

    فَكُن مُصاباً وَلا تُحسَب مِنَ الشُمُتِ

    For those who gloat, calamities lie in their gloating;

    so be afflicted, and do not be counted among those who gloat.

  2. يَبدو سُرورُ أُناسٍ أَظهَروا حَزَناً

    وَإِن تَسَتَّرَ خَلفَ الأَلسُنِ الصُمُتِ

    The joy of people who displayed sorrow 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—his death has overtaken him;

    so whoever said that the man had not died went astray.
