My poor health prevents me from meeting your son

صدني عن لقاء نجلك عذر

1. My poor health prevents me from meeting your son
It keeps the body from fully worshipping

١. صدَّني عنْ لِقاءِ نجْلِكَ عُذْرٌ
يمْنَعُ الجِسْمَ عنْ تَمامِ العِبادَةْ

2. I took the shorter way, since to dismount is hard
In the abode of contentment and the home of ascetics

٢. واخْتَصَرْتُ القِرَى لأنْ حطّ رَحْلاً
في مَحَلِّ الغِنى ودارِ الزَّهادَةْ

3. Even if I had tried my best, wealth would not help
Nor would I gain some of what he intended

٣. ولو انّي احْتَفَلْتُ لمْ يُعِنِ الدّهْ
رُ ولا نِلْتُ بعضَ بعْضٍ أرادَهْ

4. And in any case, my inadequacy
Is habitual, since accepting excuses is your custom

٤. وعلى كُلِّ حالَةٍ فقُصوري
عادَةٌ إذْ قَبولُكَ العُذْرَ عادَهْ

5. You would not lack God's satisfaction and blessing
As His revelation dictates, and more

٥. لا عَدِمْتَ الرِّضى منَ اللهِ والحُسْنى
كَما نصَّ وحْيُهُ والزِّيادَهْ
