خ ما صفا لک فالحیاة غروروالدهر یعدک تارة ویجور لا تعتین علی الزمان فانه فلک علی قطب اللحاج بدور ابدا ولد ترحة من فرحة ویصب غما منتهاه شرور

"Take what is pure for you, for life is a deceit, / and fate promises you at times, and acts unjustly.
Do not lean upon time, for it is / a sphere turning upon the axis of obstinacy.
Ever does sorrow give birth from joy, / and it pours forth grief whose conclusion is evils."
