ما المرءُ إلاّ بمقلوبِ اسمِهِ رجلٌ

بالفارسيَّةِ فافهمْ أيُّها الرجلُ

Man is but the reverse of his name, O man, understand this in Persian

If his name lacks what I have encoded in it

فإن يكنْ خالياً ممَّا رَمَزْتُ بهِ

بضمِّ ميمِ اسمِهِ قد جاءهُ الأجلُ

By adding the letter 'meem' to his name, his time of death has come
