نادَيْتُ مُبتَهِلاً وقدْ جنّ الدُجَى

لمّا برِمْتُ ببَرْدِهِ وبنَجْمِهِ

I called out pleading when the darkness fell

When I was chilled by its cold and stars

يا رَبِّ واجْعَلْ لوْعَتي في قلْبِه

يا رَبِّ واجْعَلْ لِحْيَتي في وجْهِهِ

O Lord, make my pain felt in his heart

O Lord, make my beard on his face
