إذا شئتَ أن تلقى حسودَكَ راغِماً

وتقتلَهُ غَمّاً وتحرقَهُ هَمَّا

If you wish to defeat your envious enemies,

And kill them with grief and burn them with worries,

فسامِ العُلا وازدد من الفضل إنهُ

مَنِ ازدادَ فضلاً زادَ حاسدُهُ غَمّا

Then seek the heights and increase in merit, for

He who increases in merit increases the worries of his envious enemies.
