وضرطةُ وهبٍ من الحادثاتِ

إذا ذُكرتْ حادثاتُ الزَّمنْ

And a blast of incidents

When the incidents of time are mentioned

أهذا الغلاء وهذا البلاءُ

وهذا الضُّراط وهذي الفتنْ

Is this the expensiveness and this the affliction

And this the wind and these the strife

إليك المعوَّلُ والمشتكى

فَمُنَّ بعفوك يا ذا المِنَنْ

To you is the relied upon and the complained to

So bestow with your forgiveness O owner of bounty

أيا آل وهبٍ لقد رعتُمُ

عظامَ النُّواسيِّ أعني الحسن

Oh family of Wahb, you have pastured

The bones of Al-Nuwasi, meaning Al-Hassan

فأقسم لو كان حيّاً بكى

بما صنعتْ ريحكم بالدمن

So I swear if he were alive he would have cried

For what your wind has done with blood
