1. يا لَيْتَ حُمّاهُ بِي كانتْ مُضَاعَفَةً

    يوماً بِشَهْرٍ وأَنَّ اللّهَ عافاهُ

    Would that his fever were multiplied in me—

    a month for each day—and that God would heal him,

  2. فيصبِحُ السُّقْمُ مَنْقُولاً إلى جَسَدِي

    ويَجْعَلُ اللّهُ مِنْهُ البُرْءَ عُقْباهُ

    so that the sickness would be transferred to my body,

    and God would make recovery from it his final lot.
