1. I came to the wise lament seeking
His permissions that honor his servant
١. أَتيتُ إِلى النّدبِ الرّشيديِّ راجِياً
إِجازاتِهِ اللّاتي تُشرِّفُ عبدَهُ
2. Yet I did not attain what I hoped for and wished
And I returned though my spirit remained with him
٢. فما نِلتُ ما أمّلتُه ورجَوتُه
وأُبْتُ وقد أبقيتُ روحي عندَهُ
