1. خَنازيرُ ناموا عَنِ المَكرُماتِ

    فَأَنبَهَهُم قَدَرٌ لَم يَنَم

    Swine slept heedless of noble deeds;

    so fate, which never slept, awoke them.

  2. فَيا قُبحَهُم في الَّذي خُوِّلوا

    وَيا حُسنَهُم في زَوالِ النِعَم

    So how ugly they are amid what they were granted,

    and how fair they are when blessings are lost!
