إِذا أَتاني حِمامي ماحِياً شَبَحي

وَما صَنَعتُ فَعَيشي كُلُّهُ عَنَتُ

When my dove comes to me wiping my ghost

And I have done nothing, so all my life was misery

لَعَلَّ قَوماً يُجازيهِم مَليكُهُمُ

إِذا لَقوهُ بِما صاموا وَما قَنَتوا

Perhaps a people their King will reward

When He meets them for their fasting and devotion
