1. That enviers deny my merit - no surprise;
Among mankind what they deny is recognized.
١. أَن يَجحَدِ الحُسّادُ فَضلي فَما
يُخفيهِ بَينَ الناسِ أَن يَجحَدوهْ
2. Indeed, of all creation they best know
That, did they not know my merit, they'd not envy it.
٢. بَل هُم بِهِ أَدرى الوَرى أَنَّهُم
لَو جَهِلوا فَضليَ لَم يَحسدوهْ
