وَوَصِيَّةٍ خُلِفَت لَنا مِن حازِمٍ

وَطِىءَ الزَمانَ سُهولَةً وَحُزونا

A legacy was left for us by the prudent Hazim

Time has passed gently and sorrowfully

لَمّا تَعَذَّرَ أَن يُبَقِّيَ نَفسَهُ

بَقَّى عَلَينا رَأيَهُ المَأمونا

When he could no longer preserve himself

He left us his safeguarded wisdom
