يا مانِعي قُوتَ جسْمِي

ومانعي قَوتَ رُوحي

O you who deny me the strength of my body

And deny me the strength of my soul

منعتني من سَلامي

عليكَ حين صَبُوحِي

You have denied me my peace

When I greet you at dawn

ومن سُرُوحِيَ فيمَا

تُنيلُ حين سُرُوحِي

And my happiness in what

I attain when I am happy

جَرَحْتَ حالي وقد كُنْـ

ـتَ آسياً لجُرُوحي

You have wounded my state when

You were a healer of my wounds
