عِلْمي بسابقةِ المقسومِ ألْزمني

صبري وصمتي فلم أحرص ولم أسل

My knowledge of the predetermined shares has made me

Patient and silent, so I did not strive nor complain

لو نيل بالقول مطلوبٌ لما حُرِم ال

كليمُ موسى وكان الحظُّ للجبل

If attainment by speech were possible, the Mountain would not have been deprived

Of being, like Moses, addressed by God, yet fortune went to the mountain

وعِزَّةُ العقل اِن عزَّن واِن شرفت

حهلة عند حكم الرزق والأجَلِ

The honor of reason is to be patient whether you are honored or virtuous

Ignorance in the face of destiny and appointed terms
