1. يا سائِلي عَمّا تَجَدَّدَ لي

    الحالُ لَم يَنقُص وَلَم يَزِدِ

    O you who ask me what has changed for me,

    My condition has neither diminished nor increased.

  2. وَكَما عَلِمتَ فَإِنَّني رَجُلٌ

    أَفنى وَلا أَشكو إِلى أَحَدِ

    And as you know, I am a man

    Who wastes away and complains to no one.
