1. يا ربِّ أنت مَلأَتَ عَقْد مصاحبي

    سَقَماً فهل سَبَبٌ إلى تصحيحهِ

    O Lord, You have filled my companion’s constitution

    with sickness—is there a way to set him right?

  2. فبما جعلتَ الطَّوْدَ يُشْبِه ثِقْلَه

    في روُحه بل رأْسَه في ريحه

    So, since You made the mountain resemble his heaviness

    of spirit—nay, his head in its wind—

  3. فاجعل ثقالةَ روحهِ في عقلهِ

    الخاوي وخفَّةَ عقلِهِ في روحهِ

    put his spirit’s heaviness into his mind,

    empty as it is, and his mind’s lightness into his spirit.
