1. أَصبَحتُ يا صاحِ في اِعتِلالِ

    وَدَورَةَ الماءِ في فَسادِ

    I have become unwell, O friend,

    And the circulation of water is impaired.

  2. وَمُنتَهى الكَرَبِ إِنَّ رِزقي

    يَقِلُّ وَالبَولُ في اِزدِيادِ

    And the height of distress is that my income

    dwindles, while urine is on the increase.
