إِن كُنتَ يَعسوبَ أَقوامٍ فَخَف قَدَراً

ما زالَ كَالطِفلِ يَصطادُ اليَعاسيبا

If you're a sparrow amidst a folk then live humbly,

He's remained as a child chasing sparrows,

وَإِن تَكُن بِمِنا سيبٍ لِمَهلَكَةٍ

فَكَم طَوى الدَهرُ أَقيالاً مَناسيبا

And if you're to blame for a calamity,

Then how much has time concealed heavy calamities.
