1. My days are not alike, some of new troubles,
And some of old in their returns.
١. لَيسَ يَومي بِواحِدٍ مِن ظَلومِ
وا بَلائي مِن حادِثٍ وَقَديمِ
2. My body, so worn by affliction, reproaches my heart,
So sad, so sorrowful, so full of cares.
٢. لَيسَ يُستَنكَرُ النَحولُ بِمثلي
جَسَدي مُبتَلىً بِقَلبٍ مَشومِ
