1. I complain to God of a companion I am afflicted with
Deceived by the submission of my circumstances to his judgement
١. أشكو إلى اللَه من لاحٍ بُليت به
مغرىً بتنقاد حالاتي مُميِّزِها
2. I see him ceaselessly watching me
As if he is a state and I am an act within its realm
٢. أراه للدهر لا ينفك يرقبني
كأنه هلْ واَنا فعلٌ بحيِّزِها
