1. الخلف تحسن في الإيعاد صورته

    كقُبحها عند وعد الجودِ والكرمِ

    Breaking one's word looks fair when the word is a threat,

    just as it looks ugly when bounty and generosity are promised.

  2. إنَّ الكريمَ الذي يسقى الدواء لما

    فيه من الكُرهِ كي يبرى من الأَلَمِ

    Indeed, the generous one administers medicine, with all

    its unpleasantness, so that one may be healed of pain.

  3. وهي الحدود التي جاء الرسولُ بها

    دنيا وآخرة لكلِّ ذي سَقَم

    And such are the prescribed penalties the Messenger brought,

    in this world and the hereafter, for everyone afflicted with illness.

  4. فلا يهولك ما يلقاه من غُصَصٍ

    وإنْ تألم فالعقبى إلى نعم

    So do not be appalled by the choking anguish he undergoes;

    and though he suffers, the final outcome leads to blessings.
