مَن لَم تُفِدكَ حَياتُهُ عِزّاً وَلَم

يَنهَض بِضَبعِكَ في تَحَمُّلِ مَغرَمِ

He whose life brought you no honor, and who did not

take you by the arm to help you bear a heavy debt—

لَم يَنبَعِث لَكَ مَوتُهُ حُزناً وَلَم

تَجزَع لِمَصرَعِهِ وَلَم تَتَأَلَّمِ

his death will stir no sorrow in you, nor will you

grieve at his fall or suffer pain.
