كَفى حَزَناً أَنَّ الغِنى مُتَعَذِّرٌ

عَلَيَّ وَأَنّي بِالمَكارِمِ مُغرَمُ

Enough of sorrow that wealth is out of reach

And that I am enamored of noble deeds

فَما قَصَّرَت بي في المَطالِبِ هِمَّةٌ

وَلَكِنَّني أَسعى إِلَيها وَأُحرَمُ

My ambitions did not fall short in their quest

Yet I strive for them though I am deprived
