أَمولايَ هَذا رسولٌ عنيفٌ

يَنالُ بِإلحاحهِ ما اِمتَنع

My friend, this is an ardent messenger

Who obtains by his insistence what was denied

وَلكنّني حيثُ لَم ألف بدّاً

لأُسعفَ خادَعتهُ فَاِنخَدع

But since I could find no way out

I will humor his deception, so I was deceived

فَإِن أنتَ ناواكَ في الدهرِ صعبٌ

فَقاتِل بسعدٍ وإلّا فَدَع

So if you find fate difficult in this life

Then fight with good fortune, otherwise leave it be
