O Muhammad, you poor soul, be brief

محمد أيها المسكين أقصر

1. O Muhammad, you poor soul, be brief
For the world has played its tricks on you

١. مُحَمَّدُ أَيُّها الْمِسْكِينُ أقْصِرْ
فَقَد لَعِبَتْ بِكَ الدُّنْيا ضُرُوبا

2. And you have undertaken heavy deeds
Not knowing if they were good or bad

٢. وقَدْ بَاشَرْتَ أعْمالاً ثِقالاً
فما تَدْرِي أُجُوراً أم ذُنُوبا

3. So thank again and again the one who showed kindness
And hid your flaws from your enemies

٣. فَكَرِّرْ شُكْرَ مَنْ أَبْدَى جَمِيلاً
وأَخْفَى عَنْ أعادِيكَ الْعُيُوبا

4. You were not left to weakness and incapacity
But favors have shielded you from calamities

٤. وَلَمْ تُوكَلْ إلَى ضَعْفٍ وعَجْزٍ
بَلِ الأَلْطافُ وَقَّتْكَ الْخُطُوبا
