مَصائِبُ هَذِهِ الدُنِّيا كَثيرَةٌ

وَأَيسَرُها عَلى الفَطينِ الحِمامُ

The misfortunes of this life are many,

Yet the easiest for the wise to bear is love.

مُصابٌ لا تُنَزَّهُ عَنهُ نَفسٌ

وَلا يُقضى بِمَدفَعِهِ الذِمامُ

It is an affliction from which no soul is safe,

Nor can payment dispel it.
