إِنَّ الطَبيبَ بِطِبِّهِ وَدَوائِهِ

لا يَستَطيعُ دِفاعَ مَكروهٍ أَتى

The doctor with his medicine and drugs

Cannot prevent what bad is bound to come

ما لِلطَبيبِ يَموتُ بِالداءِ الَّذي

قَد كانَ يُبرِئُ جُرحَهُ فيما مَضى

Why should the doctor die of that disease

Which he used to cure and heal before

ذَهَبَ المُداوي وَالمُداوى وَالَّذي

جَلَبَ الدَواءَ وَباعَهُ وَمَنِ اِشتَرى

Both the healer and the healed have gone

And seller of the drug and buyer too
