سَبطَ متوىّ انَّ دارك دارٌ

قَد عَرَفتَ الاِدبارَ اذ تبنيها

O grandson of Matwayān, your house is a house

that has known decline even as you build it.

لا تكثِّر تَزويقَها وَترفَّق

عَن قَليلٍ يَكونُ قَبرُك فيها

Do not overdo its ornamentation; be restrained—

before long, your grave will be within it.
