1. ما حال من يأوي إلى منزلٍ

    أرفقُ منهُ المسجد الجامعُ

    What is the plight of one who shelters in a house

    when the congregational mosque is more hospitable than it?

  2. لا يرتوي العطشان فيه ولا

    يلحق ما يقتاته الجائع

    The thirsty do not quench their thirst there, nor

    do the hungry obtain anything to live on.

  3. وسوقه كاسدةٌ بينكم

    لا مشترٍ فيها ولا بائعُ

    And his market is stagnant among you:

    there is neither buyer nor seller in it.
