1. أقلَقَ الحاسِدَ منِّي

    مَظهَري بعدَ انْطِوائي

    What troubled the envier about me

    was my emergence after my seclusion.

  2. يا لقلبٍ منهُ مُضْنًى

    يا لعينٍ في عَماءِ

    Alas for a heart worn out by it!

    Alas for an eye in blindness!

  3. هو في الأَرضِ تلَظَّى

    ومُقامي في السَّماءِ

    He burned fiercely on earth,

    while my station is in heaven.

  4. هذه فُرسانُ قومي

    عَجُّها عَجُّ وَرائي

    These are the knights of my people;

    their clamor—a clamor behind me.

  5. أنا تاجُ الأَولِياءِ

    وهُمُ أهلُ وَلائي

    I am the crown of the saints,

    and they are those loyal to me.
