مَتى أَنا لِلدارِ المُريحَةِ ظاعِنٌ
فَقَد طالَ في دارِ العَناءِ مُقامي
When shall I depart for the restful abode?
For my stay in the house of suffering has grown long.
وَقَد ذُقتُها ما بَينَ شَهدٍ وَعَلقَمٍ
وَجَرَّبتُها مِن صَحَّةٍ وَسَقامِ
I have tasted it, from honey to bitter colocynth,
And experienced it in health and in sickness.
