قَنوعي بِدونِ الدونِ لا نَقصُ هِمَّةٍ

وَلَكِنَّهُ شَيءٌ أَصونُ بِهِ عِرضي

I am content without wealth, it is no lack of ambition,

But it is something by which I preserve my dignity.

إِذا بَلَغَ الأَعداءُ مِنّي مُرادَهُم

صَبَرتُ إِلى أَن يَقضى اللَهُ ما يَقضي

When enemies attain their wants of me,

I am patient until Allah decides what He decides.
