1. مَنْ ذا يُعزِّي الناظريَّ الذي

    عينُ العُلى منْ عينه ناظرَهْ

    Who is there to console al-Naziri,

    through whose eye the eye of glory gazes,

  2. عن جَنَّةِ الدنيا التي مَلَّتِ ال

    دنيا وزارتْ جنَّةَ الآخره

    for the loss of this world's garden, which grew weary of the

    world and visited the garden of the hereafter?

  3. من ذا يُعزّيه فكم نعمةٍ

    باطنةٍ في نكبةٍ ظاهره

    Who will console him? For many a blessing

    lies hidden within an apparent calamity.

  4. أبلغْ أبا الفتحِ الذي ذكرُهُ

    سارَ مسيرَ الأنجمِ السائره

    Tell Abu al-Fath, whose renown

    has traveled the course of the journeying stars:

  5. كيف يخافُ النقصَ من

    سلامةُ النفسِ له وافره

    How can one fear loss

    when his own well-being is undiminished?
