زيادة شيب المرء نقص لعمره

ووصل هواه عن رضا الله حاجز

The increase of a man's gray hairs diminishes his life

And his passionate love separates him from God's contentment

زكانك منكوس فخيرك مرجأ

إلى غير ميقات وشرّك ناجز

If you have stumbled, your best course is to hope

For an undetermined time, while your evil is predestined

زحمت بني بالدنيا فخل سبيلهم

فمالك عن طاعة الله عاجز

You busied your sons with worldly affairs, so leave them be

Why then, are you unable from obeying God, helpless
