1. ذَكَرتُ ابنَ عباسٍ بِبابِ اِبنِ عامِرٍ

    وَما مَرَّ مِن عَيشي ذَكَرتُ وَما فَضَل

    I remembered Ibn Abbas at the door of Ibn Amir,

    And recalled what had passed of my life and what remained.

  2. أَميرانِ كانا صاحِبيَّ كِلاهُما

    فَكُلّا جَزاهُ اللَهُ عَنّي بِما عَمِل

    Two emirs, both of whom were my companions;

    So may God requite each on my behalf for what he did.

  3. فَإِن كانَ خَيراً كان خَيراً جَزاؤُهُ

    وَإِن كانَ شَرّاً كانَ شَرّاً كَما فَعَل

    So if it was good, may his recompense be good;

    And if it was evil, may it be evil, matching what he did.
