1. Oh Musa, you have led me to the worst plight,
And Pharaoh is not so ungrateful.

2. You captivated my heart when you sent the serpent
Of accusation, and drowned me in my tears.

3. I did not fear that my end would be
At your hands, though days can be deceptive.

4. By God, neither my hearing nor sight
Takes pleasure in anyone but you - that is of no use to me.

5. You made patience upon me an unsheathed blade
And forbade that I should come to you with an intercessor.

6. I do not grieve that I die; rather
My fear is that you cast me into the pit of natures.
