سَأَشكُرُ عمرا إِن تَراخَت منيّتي

أَيادِيَ لَم تُمنَن وَإِن هي جَلّت

I will be grateful if my desire wanes from me

Hands that did not bestow favors, even if they were generous

فَتىً غَير مَحجوب الغنى عَن صَديقِه

وَلا مُظهِرُ الشَّكوى إِذا النَّعل زَلّت

A man whose richness is not veiled from his friend

Nor exhibits complaint when his sandal slips

رَأى خلّتي من حَيثُ يَخفى مَكانها

فَكانَت قَذى عَينَيهِ حَتّى تَجَلّت

He saw my party from where its location is hidden

So it became a speck in his eye until it disappeared
