إِلى واحد الدُنيا أَبي العَزم راغبِ

مَددت يَدي أَشكو صُروف النَوائبِ

To the One in charge of the world, my determined father

I extended my hand complaining of the turns of misfortune

وَأَمَّلت مِنهُ نَظرةً في قَضيةٍ

بِها يَنجلي عَني سَحاب الغَياهب

And I hoped for a glance from Him regarding a matter

Through which the clouds of misgivings clear from my eye
