1. أَيام بُؤس عَدوّ اللَه أَوّلها

    عَما قَليلٍ بِلا شَك يُوافيهِ

    Days of misery for God's enemy—the first of them

    Will reach him before long, without a doubt.

  2. وَالعَزلُ يَأتيهِ وَالنعمى تُفارقُه

    وَالأَمر بِالطرد لا يُرجى تلافيه

    And dismissal will come to him, and prosperity will forsake him;

    And there is no hope of averting the order for expulsion.

  3. وَالنَعي تودي بِهِ حالاً صَوارمُه

    في يَوم نحس بِهِ مَولاه يَأتيه

    And the news of death—its sharp swords will destroy him at once,

    On an ill-omened day when his master comes to him.

  4. وَفي أواخر شَوال يَزول وَلا

    يَبقى وَسَهمُ المَنايا نافذ فيهِ

    And in the last days of Shawwal he will vanish, and will not

    Remain, with the arrow of death piercing him.

  5. وَسَوفَ يَهوي بِنص الذكر في سقر

    مَع كل مَن كانَ في الدُنيا يصافيهِ

    And he will plunge into Saqar, as the Scripture states,

    With everyone who befriended him in this world.

  6. وَيَقطَع الأَمل المَوهوم مِن وَلد

    وَمِنلَيسَت تُجافيه

    And he will abandon the illusory hope of a child,

    And of her who does not shun him.

  7. وَيندبنّ شَباباً ضاعَ في لعب

    وَفي السُجود عَلى أَرض لِكافيه

    And he will surely lament youth wasted in play,

    And in prostration on the ground to his provider.

  8. دلت عَلى ذاكَ رُؤيا فيهِ صادِقَةٌ

    مِن عارف مَظهر لِلناس خافيه

    A true vision concerning him pointed to that,

    From one who knows and reveals to people what is hidden about him.
