بُليتُ بِهِجرانٍ وَفَقرٍ وَفاقَةٍ
وَكَثرَةِ حاجاتٍ وَثِقلِ دُيونِ
I have been afflicted by desertion, poverty, and destitution,
by countless needs and the burden of debts.
وَأَعظَمُها أَنَّ الزَمانَ يَسومُني
وُقوفاً عَلى أَبوابِ مَن هُوَ دوني
And worst of them all is that Fate makes me endure
standing at the doors of those beneath me.
Sol 5.6
