قُوايَ تَضْعُفُ عَن هَمٍّ خُصِصْتُ بهِ

فَكَيْفَ أَحْمِلُهُ مَعْ هَمِّ أَولادِي

My strength fails before a care I'm destined to bear

How can I bear it along with the care for my children?

وَمَن شَكا أَلَماً يُؤْذِيهِ في كَبَدٍ

فَإنَّ شَكْواي مِن آلامِ أَولادِي

And he who complains of a pain that hurts his heart

Then my complaint is of the pains of my children
