دَعني أُفرق ما عِندي وَأَجمَع ما

يَجدى وَأَقضي مِن الأَفعال ما وَجبا

Let me sort what is with me, and gather what avails,

And accomplish of deeds what duty entails.

نَفسي الَّتي تَملك الأَشياء ذاهية

فَما أُبالي عَلى شَيء إِذا ذَهَبا

My soul that owns all things and passes away -

So what care I for aught when it fades and decays?
