| So establish laws for people of piety | | And abandon words and stick to resolve |

His lament
| My longing for “Nafi’” if it would benefit him | | For my longing.. and far from it, there is no benefit in death |
| They carried him to a grave | | He is feared by his followers and followers |
| His homelands contained him in their belly, so he became | | As if it were a heart and they were ribs |
| O homeland, in whose wealth its masters are absent | | If those who sold you were ashamed, they would not have sold |
