شهور ستة في مرت

علىيا رب سَهِّلْ

Six months have passed by

Oh Lord, make it easy

وَلا تَقطَع رَجائي يا إلهي

بِحَق محمدٍ مِمّا أؤمِّلْ

And do not cut off my hope, my God

For the right of Muhammad, give me what I hope for

وَلا تشمت بي الأَعداءَ واعطف

عليّ وِبالرضا يا رَب عجِّل

And do not let the enemies gloat over me, and have mercy

On me and with acceptance, oh Lord, hasten

ولا تبقي على

وحاصر حصنَ قوَّتِه وزلزل

And do not leave

And besiege the fortress of his strength and make it shake

وَشَدّد في الحِساب عَلَيهِ وَاطمس

عَلى عَينيه وَامسخه وَنكِّل

And be harsh in reckoning with him and wipe out

His eyes and transform him and humiliate

عَلَيك بِهِ وَقابله بِسخطٍ

وَأَمراض فَكَم تَعفو وَتُمهل

Him with wrath

And diseases, so how much do you pardon and delay

فَقد خانَ العُهود وَما رَعى لي

حُقوقي وَالزَمان عَلَيهِ مُقبل

For he has betrayed pacts and did not respect

My rights and time is against him

وَبالغ في العَداوة لا لشيءٍ

سِوى قَول استقم في الحكم وَاعدل

And he was extremely hostile for no

Reason other than saying, be steadfast in ruling justly

ولا تهدم بسوء الرأي دوراً

بها تنزل

And do not demolish homes with bad opinion

For you are leaving after a little while

فَإِنَّكَ راحل عَما قَليلٍ

عَن الدُنيا وَعَن أَهل وَمنزل

From the world and from family and home

To a valley wherein you will meet excruciating torture

إِلى واد به تَلقى عَذاباً

أَليماً ما لِوَجهك عَنهُ مَعزل

With no refuge for your face from it

And scorpions and snakes will bite you

وَتَنهشك العَقارب وَالأَفاعي

بِواد ما لمثلك فيهِ موئل

In a valley with no shelter for the likes of you
