1. Describe to Kamal al-Din what you see,
And convey this conversation to him as it occurred.

2. And inform him about me that I am in a state,
Which I parted from in the darkness a specter of the two dear ones.

3. Tossing and turning on the bed as if
I had ignited a blaze in my soul.

4. I have fever, so I am given after the intense chill that afflicted me,
A drink - if only I were a sword I would have been adorned with jewels.

5. And I see the drink although it is a drink from Biqa Valley,
And tomorrow - most of it I see falsified.

6. Sometimes you see me wrapped up in blankets,
Complaining, and other times wrapped in a mat.

7. In a band after the greenery of Ma'zan,
Who have witnessed the death in humiliation, red.

8. It is the sickness of Ridwan, then abject poverty,
So perhaps your generosity will cure the most dangerous.

9. And if I recover, I will make my gratitude inviolable,
And if I die, you have no right to be rewarded.
