1. بَليتُ وَمَلَّ العائِدونَ وَرابَني

    تَزايُدُ أَدوائي وَفَقدُ دَوائِيا

    I have suffered long, and those who would return have failed me

    My pains grow yet the cure has gone from me

  2. وَعُطِّلَ مِن نَفسي مَكانُ رَجائِها

    فَإِن لَم يَكُن مَوتٌ فَكَالمَوتِ ما بِيا

    And my soul is wearied of hoping

    If this be not death, then it is the brother of death that possesses me

  3. فَيا أَهلَ بَيتِ اللَهِ مِن آلِ هاشِمٍ

    أَقِرّوا بِرُزإي أَو فَسَدّوا مَكانِيا

    O people of the Prophet's house, o Hashim's line

    Restore me or else replace where I recline

  4. يُجَرِّحُهُ قَومٌ وَيَرجونَ عَفوَهُ

    فَكَيفَ وَآلامٌ بِجِسمي كَما هَيا

    A folk that wounds while asking his grace of him

    When such sore travails my body confine
