1. هَبهُ أَساءَ كَما زَعَمتَ فَهَب لَهُ

    وَاِرحَم تَضَرُّعُهُ وَذُلَّ مَقامِهِ

    Grant that he did wrong, as you claimed—then grant him pardon.

    And pity his pleading and the abasement of his state.

  2. بِاللَهِ رَبِّكَ لِم فَتَكتَ بِصَبرِهِ

    وَنَصَرتَ بِالهِجرانِ جَيشَ سَقامِهِ

    By God, your Lord, why did you strike so ruthlessly at his patience

    And, through abandonment, aid the army of his sickness?

  3. فَرَّقتَ بَينَ جُفونِهِ وَمَنامِهِ

    وَجَمَعتَ بَينَ نُحولِهِ وَعِظامِهِ

    You separated his eyelids from his sleep,

    And brought his emaciation and his bones together.
