1. وَكَم شامَت بي بَعد موتِيَ جاهِلاً

    بِظُلمي يسلُّ السَيفَ بَعد وَفاتي

    And how many a man, gloating over me after my death in ignorance,

    draws his sword to wrong me after my passing!

  2. وَلَو عَلم المِسكينُ ماذا يَنالُهُ

    من الظُلمِ بَعدي ماتَ قَبل مَماتي

    And if the poor wretch knew what would befall him

    from wrongdoing after I am gone, he would die before my death.
