1. تَلاشى أَهلُ قُمٍّ فَاِضمَحَلّوا

    تَحُلُّ المُخزِياتُ بِحَيثُ حَلّوا

    The people of Qum faded away and came to nothing.

    Disgraces descend wherever they settle.

  2. وَكانوا شَيَّدوا في الفَقرِ مَجداً

    فَلَمّا جاءَتِ الأَموالُ مَلّوا

    And they had built glory in poverty,

    but when wealth came, they grew weary.
