إذا جفا صاحب ولم نره

يرضيك فعلا بطيب لافظه

When a friend is unkind and you do not see him,

Let his sweet words appease you,

فأقرأ عسى ربّه وحسبك ما

بيّنه الله من مواعظه

Read to him, maybe his Lord will guide him,

It is enough what Allah has clarified in His preachings,

فرُبّ شيء أو ليتهُ ثقةً

عندك لم تكفَ شرّ حافظه

Many things, I wish, were trust in you,

That did not stop the evil of their keepers.
