1. رضوا بالأماني عن مداركة المنى

    أولو العجز والراضي أمانيه عاجز

    They settled for wishes rather than attaining their desires—

    the helpless; and whoever is content with his wishes is helpless.

  2. ودانت لأدنى الخلق خوفاً رقابهم

    فحاجزهم عن مرتقى العز حاجز

    And their necks bowed in fear to the lowliest of creatures;

    thus their hindrance is a barrier to the heights of honor.

  3. رعى اللَه قلباً ان قطعت مفاوزا

    به للمنايا قال اني فائز

    May God guard a heart that, if you cross wastelands

    with it toward death, says, 'Indeed, I am victorious.'
