1. Tell me, my dear brothers, what can prevent
A bubble from bursting with a sudden pop?

2. May Allah curse and re-curse the cowardly, ignorant heir
Of a weak goldsmith who does no good.

3. One who harms those near him yet can't match the harm
Of those afar, one who betrays a friend.

4. He gathers an army of thousands to invade
Yet won't confront a foe, even a wick.
