يا مَن أَراهُ لَجَّ في طَيَرانِهِ

أَخطِر بِبالِكَ إِن عَقَلتَ وُقوفا

O you whom I see determined in his flight

Think carefully, if you are sensible, about stopping awhile,

وَإِذا ذَكَرتَ وَكِدتَ فَاِذكُر أَنَّهُ

لَيسَ الثَناءُ لِما أَرَدتَ مُطيفا

And if you are reminded and become anxious, remember that

Praise is not for one who aimlessly roams about.
