1. يا مَن تَعدَّى حُدودَ اللَه وَالمَذهبْ

    ظلمتَ نَفسك في الدُنيا فَلا تطربْ

    O you who have overstepped the bounds of God and the doctrine,

    You have wronged yourself in this world, so do not rejoice.

  2. وَاِرحَم عِباد الَّذي أَولاك نعمتَه

    وَلا تَثق بِزَمان برقُهُ خُلَّبْ

    And have mercy on the servants of Him who bestowed His favor upon you,

    And do not trust an age whose lightning brings no rain.

  3. فَموت شَرّ البَرايا فيهِ مَوعِظة

    لِكُلِّ مَن قَد بَغى وَاللَهَ قَد أَغضبْ

    For in the death of the worst of creatures there is a lesson

    For everyone who has transgressed and angered God.

  4. وَمَصرُ لَمّا اِنطَوى قَالت مؤرخة

    النار مَثوىً لِبقالٍ وَمَن أَعقبْ

    And Egypt, when he passed away, declared in a chronogram:

    Fire is the abode of a grocer and whoever followed him.
