يا آمري بالصبر عمن شفني
سقماً وفي فيه شفاءُ غليلي
O you who order me to be patient with one who cured me
When I was sick, and in him was the remedy for my suffering,
من يستطيع الصبر أو يرضى به
عن مثل هذا المرشف المعسولِ
Who can have patience, or be content with it
In the face of such a gentle, sweet confidant?
