قالوا لهُ من دُون وصلك حاجبُ

ووصالُ غيرك مالهُ من حاجب

They said to him, "Without joining you there is an eyebrow"

And the union of others has no eyebrow

ونراك ذا كلف به فأجبتهم

ومدامعي تجري كصوب سحائب

And we see you burdened with it, so you answered them

While my tears flow towards the clouds

ولرُبّما مُنع الكريم ومالهُ

بُخلٌ ولكن سوادُ حظّ الطّالب

And sometimes the generous is denied, though he has

No stinginess, but the darkness of the seeker's fortune
