أشكو إلى اللَه من لاحٍ بُليت به

مغرىً بتنقاد حالاتي مُميِّزِها

I complain to God of a companion I am afflicted with

Deceived by the submission of my circumstances to his judgement

أراه للدهر لا ينفك يرقبني

كأنه هلْ واَنا فعلٌ بحيِّزِها

I see him ceaselessly watching me

As if he is a state and I am an act within its realm
