نادَيْتُ مُبتَهِلاً وقدْ جنّ الدُجَى

نادَيْتُ مُبتَهِلاً وقدْ جنّ الدُجَى

لمّا برِمْتُ ببَرْدِهِ وبنَجْمِهِ

لمّا برِمْتُ ببَرْدِهِ وبنَجْمِهِ

I called out pleading when the darkness fell

when I grew weary of his coldness and his star:

When I was chilled by its cold and stars

يا رَبِّ واجْعَلْ لوْعَتي في قلْبِه

يا رَبِّ واجْعَلْ لوْعَتي في قلْبِه

يا رَبِّ واجْعَلْ لِحْيَتي في وجْهِهِ

يا رَبِّ واجْعَلْ لِحْيَتي في وجْهِهِ

O my Lord, place my anguish in his heart;

O Lord, make my pain felt in his heart

O my Lord, place my beard upon his face.

O Lord, make my beard on his face
