1. مَن لصبٍّ فوق فَرشِ ضَنىً

    أبداً فَبُرؤه يَنتكس

    For one caught off guard upon bedding of ease

    His conscience will never find peace

  2. جَفنُه بالدَمع مُنطَلقٌ

    وكَراه عنهُ مُحتَبس

    His eyes spilling with unrestrained tears

    While his hatred for it, he tries to appease,

  3. جَهل العُذّالُ مَوضِعَه

    فهداهُم نَحوه النَفَس

    The tormentors, not knowing where it hurts

    Led by their whims, his pains increase
