1. يا أَحم لا تنسَ الدُّعا

    لي بالعشيّ وبالغُدُوّ

    O Ahm, do not forget to pray

    for me, in the evening and in the morning.

  2. فلقد غدوتُ بحالةٍ

    مِنها يرقّ لها العدوْ

    For I have come to such a state

    that even the enemy is moved to pity.

  3. مَرّتْ ليالٍ أربعٌ

    لم أدرِ مَا طَعم الهدوْ

    Four nights have passed;

    I have not known the taste of repose.
