قاضي قضاة الدين دمْ في علىً

لا تلحن الأيام في رفعها

Judge of the judges of religion, a tear on a cheek

The days do not make mistakes in raising it

وانظرْ بنعماك إلى حالِ ذي

ضرورة يعجز عن دفعها

And look with your blessings at the state of one

With necessity that cannot be warded off

قد أدبرَ الصوم ولي مقلة

ما نظرت قط سوى دمعها

The fast has departed, and I have little

That I have never seen except its tears
