رَعى اللَهُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْعَ لي ما رَعَيْتُهُ

وإِنْ كانَ في كَفِّ المَنِيَّةِ مُودِعي

May God have mercy on those who did not tend to me as I tended to them

And if my end is in the palm of death

فَيا أَسَفي زِدْني عَلَيهِ تأَسُّفاً

وَيا كَبِدي وَجْداً عَلَيْهِ تَقَطَّعي

Oh my sorrow, increase my sorrow for it

Oh my liver, burst with anguish over it

وَإِنِّي لَمُشْتاقٌ إِلى مَنْ أُحِبُّهُ

فَلا مَعَهُ شَوْقي وَلا صَبْرُهُ مَعي

For I long for those I love

My longing is not with them, nor is their patience with me
