1. يا سيدي عطفاً على حالة

    قد زاد مسّ العسر في صدغها

    O my lord, have pity on a plight

    upon whose temple hardship's touch has grown.

  2. وقد مضى الصوم ولي مقلة

    ما نظرت قطراً سوى دمعها

    And the fast has passed, while I have an eye

    that has seen no drop except its own tears.
