أَبو إِسحاقَ في تَعَبٍ

يُحاوِلُ اَن يُشَبَّهَ بي

Abu Ishaq in exhaustion

Trying to resemble me

وَهَل في الناسِ مِن أَحَدٍ

يَقيسُ الرَأسَ بِالذَنَبِ

And is there anyone among people

Who compares the head to the tail

فَلا يَذهَبُ بِهِ هَوَسٌ

فَلَيسَ الصَفرُ كَالذَهَبِ

So delusion does not take him away

For gold is not like amber
