دَخَلْتُ فِي حِمَى الرَّاعِي

وَقَدْ ضِقْتُ بِأَوْجَاعِي

I entered the Feaver of the Shepherd

I entered the sanctuary of the Shepherd,

And I am distressed with my pains

oppressed by my pains,

وَقُلْتُ سَيِّدِي مُوسَى

بَرَى وَجْدِيَ أَضْلاَعِي

I said: My lord Moses

And I said, "O my master Musa,

Heal the wretchedness of my ribs

my longing has worn away my ribs."

فَأَنْشَدَنِي الأَسَى مَهْلاً

لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ أَسْمَاعِي

So the sorrow recited to me: Wait

Then sorrow intoned to me, "Gently,

You have made my ears hear enough

you have indeed reached my ears."
