1. إِنَّ الأَجَلَّ وَما رَأى أَحَداً

    في كُربَةٍ إِلّا وَفَرَّجَها

    For fate and what one sees has yet

    To burden any soul that it won't cure

  2. أَوفى كُميَتي بَعدَ ضَيعتَها

    وَاللَهُ أَغناهُ وَأَحوَجَها

    My worries fulfilled once cast aside

    And God enriched whom it made poor

  3. وَبَدا لَهُ مِن بَعدِ ما سَكَنَت

    رَأيٌ فَحَوَّلَها وَأَزعَجَها

    When settled, schemes take form in the eye

    That stir and perturb where once secure

  4. وَأَظُنُّها أَكَلَت لِشِقوَتِها

    مِن تِبنِهِ شَيئاً فَأَخرَجَها

    I'd guess her hunger drove her to eat

    Some straw though nature did not ensure

  5. فَاِغفِر جِنايَتَها عَليَكَ وَإِن

    عَظُمَت فَإِنَّ الجوعَ أَحوَجَها

    Forgive her trespass made in need

    For hunger pressed beyond endurance
