1. يُقَبِّلُ كَفَّكَ كانتِجاعِ سَحَابِ

    فَأَغِثْ بِغَيْثِكَ مَنْزِلي وَرِحَابي

    He kisses your palm as one seeks the bounty of clouds.

    So bring relief with your rain to my dwelling and courtyards.

  2. وانْظُرْ إليَّ فَإنَّني في عُسْرَةٍ

    أَكَلَ الصِّيامُ بِها أَعَزَّ ثِيابي

    And look upon me, for I am in hardship,

    In which fasting has devoured my most prized clothes.
