1. غَدَت دارَ الشُرورِ وَنَحنُ فيها

    فَمَن يَهدي إِلى دارِ السُرورِ

    It has become the abode of evils, while we are within it.

    Who, then, will guide us to the abode of joy?

  2. لَقَد بُدِّلتُ حالاً بَعدَ حالٍ

    فَصِرتُ إِلى الغُرورِ مِنَ الغُرورِ

    Indeed, I have been changed from one state to another,

    and so have passed from delusion to delusion.

  3. فَصَبراً إِن أَمَرَّ عَلَيكَ عَيشٌ

    فَإِنَّكَ في المَقامِ عَلى المُرورِ

    So be patient if life turns bitter for you,

    for even as you stay, you are passing through.
