نَفسي بِشَيءٍ مِنَ الدُنيا مُعَلَّقَةٌ

اللَهُ وَالقائِمُ المَهدِيُّ يَكفيها

My soul is attached to something of this world

God and Al-Mahdi are enough for it

إِنّي لَأَيأَسُ مِنها ثُمَّ يُطعِمُني

فيها اِحتِقارُكَ لِلدُنيا وَما فيها

I often despair of it, then it feeds me

Your contempt in it for this world and what is in it
