مَنْ لَمْ يَمُدَّ نَداهُ ليَّ بِراحَةٍ

أَلْزَمْتُ رِجْلي عنهُ قَيْدَ الياسِ

He who did not extend to me a helping hand

I have bound my feet from him with despair's chain

وَلَقَدْ يَقِلُّ لِمنْ سَعَى ليَّ بِرُّهُ

سَعْيي علَى عَيْني إليهِ وَراسِي

And he who strove to do me good, his kindness to me indeed grows less

While my striving for him continues endlessly
