لا تصيِّرْ شغلك اليو

مَ اعتذارا لمطالِكْ

Do not make your work today

An excuse for your pursuits

إنما يحمد أن تف

رغ في وقت اشتغالكْ

Rather you are praised when you

Make time during your occupations

لو تفرغت من الش

غل استوينا في المسالِكْ

If you were free from your

Work we would be on equal paths
