تَثَقَّلت عن كبِدي والحَشَا

فَكابَدتِ النَّفسُ أهوالَهَا

The anguish weighed heavy upon my liver and grief

So the soul endured its horrors

ولَولا وُجُودُك فوق الثَّرى

لَزُلزَلَتِ الأرضُ زِلزالَهَا

And were it not for your existence upon the earth

The earth would have quaked with its quaking

ولَولا ثَقُلت عَلَى ظَهرِهَا

لأخرجَتِ الأرضُ أثقَالَهَا

And were you not heavy upon its back

The earth would have cast out its burdens

فَلا تَعجَبَنَّ إلَى صبرِهَا

فَبِالصَّبرِ ربُّك أوحَى لَهَا

So do not wonder at its patience

For with patience your Lord revealed to it

ولَو أصبحت منك فِي خِفَّةٍ

لَبَلَّغَهَا اللهُ آمَالَهَا

And if you had become lightened from it

God would have granted it its hopes
