نَصَحتُكَ يا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ نُصحي

رَخيصٌ يا رَفيقي لِلصَديقِ

I advised you, O Muhammad, though my counsel

Is cheap, my friend, for a true friend's sake,

فَلَم تَقبَل وَكَم مِن نُصحِ وُدٍّ

أُضيعَ فَحادَ عَن وَضَحِ الطَريقِ

Yet you did not accept it, and how much good advice

Has been wasted, and one turned from the clear path.
