ولا شفى طول حزني
May God grant me no relief,
God has not relieved my distress,
nor heal my prolonged grief;
Nor healed my prolonged sorrow.

and may longing set my heart ablaze,
Yearning has set my heart aflame,
and may helplessness gain mastery over me,
And weakness has overtaken me.

If I do not comfort my heart
of this hatred and unjust reproach.
From this agony and suffering.
