1. مُرَتِّبُ الحُزنِ في القُلوبِ

    وَناصِرُ العَزمِ في الذُنوبِ

    The arranger of sorrow in hearts,

    And the champion of resolve in sin.

  2. ما شِئتَ مِن مَنظَرٍ عَجيبٍ

    فيهِ وَمِن مَنطِقٍ أَريبِ

    Whatever wondrous sight you wish for

    Is in him, and whatever wise speech.

  3. لَمّا رَأى رِقبَةَ الأَعادي

    عَلى مُعَنّىً بِهِ كَئيبِ

    When he saw the enemies keeping watch

    Over a sorrowful one tormented by him,

  4. جَرَّدَ لي مِن هَواهُ وُدّاً

    صارَ رَقيباً عَلى الرَقيبِ

    He drew forth affection for me from his passion,

    Which became a watcher over the watcher.
