1. أسَلُ الذي عطفَ الأعن

    نَة والمواكبَ نحو بابِكْ

    I ask the one who turned the reins

    and the processions toward your gate,

  2. وأراكَ نفسك مالكاً

    ما لم يكن لك في حسابِكْ

    and showed you yourself possessing

    what you had never reckoned on,

  3. وأذلَّ موقفي العزي

    ز عليَّ في أقصى رحابك

    and humbled my standing, dear

    to me, in your farthest courtyards,

  4. ألّا يُطيلَ تجرُّعي

    غُصَصَ المنيَّةِ من حجابِك

    not to prolong my swallowing

    the choking pangs of death caused by your barring me.
