1. You presented it with intention, though it was delayed
The strongest proof of its difficulty
١. قَدَّمتَها نِيَّةً تَأَخُّرُها
أَقوى دَليلٍ عَلى تَعَذُّرِها
2. O you who set out to fulfill a need, but stumbled
Oh how my sorrow grieves for its faltering
٢. يا ناهِضاً نَحوَ حاجَةٍ عَثَرَت
يا لَهفَ حُزني عَلى تَعَثُّرِها
