1. يُعافي اللَهُ بَعدَ بَلاءِ سَوءٍ

    وَيَبرَءُ بَعدَما يُبلى السَقيمُ

    God restores health after grievous affliction,

    And the sick man recovers after being afflicted.

  2. يُسَرُّ الشامِتونَ إِذا نُعينا

    وَيَكرَهُ ذاكَ ذو اللُطفِ الحَميمُ

    Those who gloat rejoice when our death is announced,

    And the close, kindly friend detests that.

  3. إِذا أَصبَحتُ في جَدَثٍ مُقيماً

    فَكَم قَد غاظَهُ الجَدَثُ المُقيمُ

    When I come to dwell within a grave,

    Then how often the enduring grave has enraged him!
