حَوى القِدّ عُمراً فَقُلتُ اعتَقِد

رضاً بِالقَضاءِ وَلا تَحتَقِد

The days have harbored a life, so I said: Be content

With fate's decree and harbor no discontent;

فإِمّا اِحتَقَدتَ قَضاءَ الإِلهِ

فَأَخسِر بِمُحتَقِدٍ تَحتَ قِد

For if you're angry at what God has sent

You lose, harboring discontent, your life thus spent.
