لَو أَنَّ مُمرضَهُ بِالهَجرِ عايَدَهُ

يَوماً لَخفَّفَ عَنهُ ما يُكابِدُهُ

If only my nurse with estrangement would visit me one day

It would relieve me of what I'm enduring

لا عَذَّبَ اللَهُ مَن بالصَدِّ عَذَّبَني

دَهري وَطارِفُهُ ظُلمي وَتالِده

May God not torment one who with aloofness torments me

Throughout my life and its vicissitudes, my injustice and its origins

أَبكي فَيَضحَكُ مِن دَمعي وَيُعجِبُهُ

شَجوي وَأَسهر ليلي وَهوَ زاهِدُهُ

I cry and he laughs at my tears, amazed by them

My lamentations, my sleepless nights, while he is indifferent to them

يا قاصِداً قَتلتي ظُلماً بِلا سَبَب

عَمداً خُفِ اللَهَ فيما أَنتَ قاصِدُهُ

Oh you who intentionally killed me unjustly without cause

Purposely, fear God in what you intend
