فَدَع عَنكَ قَوماً قَد كَفَوكَ شُئونَهُم

وَشَأنُكَ إِن لَم تَركُهُ يَتَفاقَمُ

Leave behind people whose affairs have wearied you,

And your own affair, if you do not abandon it, will worsen.

فَلأَهدَينَّ مَعَ الرِياحِ قَصيدَةً

مِنّي مُغَلغَلَةً إِلى هَمّامِ

So I will send with the winds a poem

From me, rolling on, to Hammam.
