1. لَيسَ فِي الجَوِّ اعْتِدَالٌ

    هُوَ قرٌّ ثُمَّ حَرُّ

    There is no moderation in the weather.

    It is bitter cold, then heat.

  2. هُوَ حَالٌ ثُمَّ حَالٌ

    هُوَ حَرٌّ ثُم قَرُّ

    It is one state, then another.

    It is heat, then bitter cold.

  3. كُلُّ مَنْ تَلْقَاهُ يَشْكُو

    عِلَّتي حَلْقٌ وَصَدْرُ

    Everyone you meet complains:

    “My ailment is in my throat and chest.”

  4. وَالأَذَى مَا فِيه شَكٌّ

    جَاءَهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ يَدْرِي

    And the harm, without a doubt,

    Came to him from a source he knows.
