أَضحى تُراثُ اِبنِ لَيلى وَهوَ مُتَسمٌ

في أَقرَبيهِ بِلا مَنٍّ وَلا ثَمَنِ

The heritage of Layla's son has become worthless though he was generous

Among his relatives without obligation or price

وَرَّثتَهُم فَتَفَرَّوا عَنكَ إِذ وَرِثوا

وَما وَرَثتُكَ غَيرَ الهَمِّ وَالحَزَنِ

You made them heirs, so they shunned you when they inherited

I have inherited from you nothing but sorrow and grief
