Of hearts disconsolate see to the state:
To bear a breaking heart may prove thy fate.
Help to be happy those thine aid can bless,
Mindful of thine own day of helplessness.
If thou at others' doors need'st not to pine
In thanks to Allah drive no man from thine.
Over the orphan's path protection spread!
Pluck out his heart-grief, lift his drooping head.
When with his neck bent low thou spiest one,
Kiss not the lifted face of thine own son!
