أَن يَجحَدِ الحُسّادُ فَضلي فَما

يُخفيهِ بَينَ الناسِ أَن يَجحَدوهْ

That enviers deny my merit - no surprise;

Among mankind what they deny is recognized.

بَل هُم بِهِ أَدرى الوَرى أَنَّهُم

لَو جَهِلوا فَضليَ لَم يَحسدوهْ

Indeed, of all creation they best know

That, did they not know my merit, they'd not envy it.
