يا من إليه المشتكى
في كلّ نائبةٍ تلوحُ
O you to whom complaints are made
In every adversity that appears
ذا النّاصرُ المخذولُ طو
لَ زمانِه نِضْوٌ طَليحُ
This victorious one left so long
His time is misery prolonged
ما إنْ يبِلُّ فيستري
حُ ولا يموتُ فيستريحُ
He does not wither that he may rest
Nor die that he may have repose
