هذا محبك مطويٌّ على كمده

وجداً مدامعهُ تجري على جسده

Beloved folded over his sleeve

His tears flowing down his body

له يدٌ تسأل الرحمنَ رحمتهُ

بما به ويدٌ أخرى على كبده

A hand asking the Merciful for mercy

For what ails him, the other on his liver

يا من رأى كلفاً مستعبداً دنفاً

كانت منيتهُ في عينه ويده

O you who saw a slave worn out and miserable

His wish was in his eyes and hand
