وَحَضَّ الَّذي وَلّى عَلى الصَبرِ وَالتُقى

وَلَم يَهمُمِ البالي بِأَن يَتَجَشَّعا

He urged patience and piety on one who turned away,

And cared not that misfortune made him beg.

وَلَو نَزَلَت مِثلُ الَّذي نَزَلَت بِهِ

تَرَكنَ المُذَرّى مِن أَجا يَتَصَدَّعا

Had what befell that man befallen him,

He would have left the rejected life of a beggar.
