تَضاعَفَ هَمّي أَن أَتَتني مَنيَّتي
وَلَم تُقضَ حاجي بِالمَطايا الرَواقِصِ
My troubles have doubled, now that my wish has come to me
Yet my needs are not met, despite the prancing horses
وَما عالَمي إِن عِشتُ فيهِ بِزائِدٍ
وَلا هُوَ إِن أُلقيتُ مِنهُ بِناقِصِ
Whether I live in this world with more or less
Or depart from it with more or less, what matter?
