1. I said, though sorrow had clothed my body
In its ever unchanging hue,
١. قُلْتُ وَقَدْ أَلْبَسَ جِسْمِي الضَّنَا
صِبْغَةَ سُقْمٍ أَبَداً لاَ تَحولْ
2. "Have pity, you, who see what hath befallen me!
A patched garment is made to clothe the lean."
٢. يَا مَنْ رَآنِي أَشْفِقْ لِمَا حَلَّ بِي
يُلْبَسُ مَخْيُوطٌ عَلَى ذَا النُّحُولْ
