1. O Minister of Ministers, a petition from one laid low,
The turns of fate have erased his trace, so perhaps, just perhaps,
١. يا سَيد الوُزَراءِ دَعوة مقعد
مَحَت الحَوادث رَسمَهُ فَعَسى عَسى
2. Look upon him with kindness, nay with mercy,
That will suffice him of life's bitter cups, what he has tasted,
٢. فَاِنُظُر إِلَيهِ بِرَأفة بَل رَحمَة
تَكفيهِ مِن جَرع الأَسايا ما اِحتَسى
3. He was once clouds of time, excelling,
His livelihood cut off, thus rendered mute.
٣. قَد كانَ سحبان الزَمان فَضيلة
قَطعت علوفتهُ فَأَصبَح أَخرَسا
