ما اِنقَطاعي عَنِ العِيادَةِ كِبرٌ

ما اِنقَطاعي عَنِ العِيادَةِ كِبرٌ

بَل لِأَمرٍ تَداوَلَتهُ العِبادُ

بَل لِأَمرٍ تَداوَلَتهُ العِبادُ

My staying away from visiting the sick is not arrogance,

My absence from visitation is not out of pride,

Rather, it is for a reason people have passed around.

But for a reason people pass among themselves.

مَرَضُ العَينِ في القِياسِ كَماضي ال

مَرَضُ العَينِ في القِياسِ كَماضي ال

قَولِ كُلُّ بَينَ الوَرى لا يُعادُ

قَولِ كُلُّ بَينَ الوَرى لا يُعادُ

Eye disease, by analogy, is like bygone

A sickness of the eye is in reasoning as though past,

Speech: neither is revisited among humankind.

The saying of each mortal in the world is not repeated.
