يَا أيُّهَا الآسِي يَجُولُ بِمِبضَعٍ

رِفقاً فَفي قَلبي يَجُولُ المِبضَعُ

O you who roam with a crutch

Gently, for in my heart roams the crutch

دَعهُ بِرَبِّكَ وَحدَهُ وَإليكَهَأ

أجسَامُنَا فاصنَع بهَا مَا تَصنَعُ

Leave it to your Lord alone and to you

Our bodies, so do with them what you will

أسفي شديدٌ لا عليه وإنَّما

أسفي على عين الفضيلةِ تَدمَعُ

My deep sorrow is not for it, but rather

For the eye of virtue that weeps

عَمَّا قَرِيبٍ سَوفَ نَنسَى مَا مَضى

يَقضِي الإلَهُ بمَا يَشَاءُ وَيَمنَعُ

Soon we will forget what is past

God decrees what He wills and prevents what He wills

ويَعُود صَدِيقي العَزِيزُ لِحَالِه

بِنَشاطِهِ وَهَنَائِهِ يَتَمَتَّعُ

And my dear friend will return to his state

With his activity and joy he will delight
