1. To the One in charge of the world, my determined father
I extended my hand complaining of the turns of misfortune
١. إِلى واحد الدُنيا أَبي العَزم راغبِ
مَددت يَدي أَشكو صُروف النَوائبِ
2. And I hoped for a glance from Him regarding a matter
Through which the clouds of misgivings clear from my eye
٢. وَأَمَّلت مِنهُ نَظرةً في قَضيةٍ
بِها يَنجلي عَني سَحاب الغَياهب
