مَن يَشتَري حَسَبي بِأَمنِ خُمولِ

مَن يَشتَري أَدَبي بِحَظِّ جَهولِ

Who will buy my worth with the safety of obscurity

Who will buy my manners with the luck of ignorance

ساءَ الزَمانُ وَأَوجَعَتكَ صُروفُهُ

وَعَسى الزَمانُ يُسِرُّبَعدَ قَليلِ

The times have been bad and its circumstances pained you

And perhaps the times will bring ease after a little while
