1. I seek the help of Him in Whose hands is my welfare,
And my hopes rest on Her who has killed me.
١. أَستَعينُ الَّذي بِكَفَّيهِ نَفعي
وَرَجائي عَلى الَّتي قَتَلَتني
2. Indeed I had realized and seen clearly
Things, that had they benefited me,
٢. وَلَقَد كُنتُ قَد عَرَفتُ وَأَبصَر
تُ أُموراً لَو أَنَّها نَفَعَتني
3. I would have said: I desire the remedy for my sufferings -
Misfortunes that have overwhelmed me continuously.
٣. قُلتُ إِنّي أَهوى شِفا ما أُلاقي
مِن خُطوبٍ تَتابَعَت فَدَحَتني
