إليكَ المشتكى لا منكَ ربِّي

وأنتَ لحادِثاتِ الدهرِ حسبي

To you I complain, though not from you, my Lord,

And you are my recourse for worldly affairs.

تُروِّي غلَّتي وتَرمُّ حالي

وتُؤْمِنُ رَوْعَتي وتُزِيلُ كَرْبي

You quench my thirst and promote my condition,

Secure my fears and remove my sorrow.
