رَدَدتُ إِلى مَليكِ الحَقِّ أَمري

فَلَم أَسأَل مَتى يَقَعُ الكُسوفُ

I returned my affairs to the King of Truth

I did not ask when the eclipse would occur

فَكَم سَلِمَ الجَهولُ مِنَ المَنايا

وَعوجِلَ بِالحِمامِ الفَيلَسوفُ

How many ignorant ones have escaped death

While the philosopher was rushed by fate
