1. فَإِنْ لَم تَكُن تَقضي لِمِثلي لُبانةً

    لَدَيكَ فَحلّ القصد فَالقصدُ خائبُ

    For if you will not grant a wish to one like me

    In your presence, then abandon the quest, for the quest is fruitless.

  2. وَإِنْ لَم يَنَلْ مِثلي بِمِثلِكَ مأرَباً

    فَأَينَ الّذي فيهِ تُنال المآربُ

    And if one like me attains no aim through one like you,

    Then where is the one through whom aims are attained?
