إن الحسود بلاؤه حسده

حسب الحسود معاقبا نكدُه

The envious one's affliction is his envy

According to the envious one, his troubles are enough punishment

ذنب المحسّد عند حاسده

نعم الإله وحتفهُ جلده

The sin of the envied one is with his envier

What a good God, yet his doom is being skinned

واشدّ ما أغزى الحسود يدٌ

سلفت إليه ولم تعذك يدُه

And the greatest defeat of the envious one is a hand

That gave to him, and its hand did not harm you

يوليكَ ما حسد الحسود لهُ

يكفيك منه وحسبه كمده

May what the envious envied turn against him

May that be enough of him for you, and suffice as his folly
