أبعينِ مفتقرٍ إليكَ نظرَتَني

فأهنَتني وقذَفتني من حالِقِ

With yearning eyes I looked to you,

Did you view me with the eye of one in need of you,

So you despised me and cast me down.

Then humiliate me and cast me from a precipice?

لستَ الملومَ أنا الملومُ لأنّني

أنزَلتُ آمالي بغير الخالق

It is not you I blame, but I myself,

You are not the one to blame; I am the one to blame, for I

For I placed all my hopes in one unworthy.

Entrusted my hopes to other than the Creator.
