سألت يا مولاي عن قصتي
وما اقتضى بالرسم إخلالي
You asked, my lord, about my circumstances—
and what caused me to neglect the customary observance.
ليست بجسمي علةٌ تشتكي
وإنما العلة في حالي
No bodily illness is troubling me;
rather, the ailment lies in my circumstances.
وذاك داءٌ لم تزل ضامناً
من سقمه برئي وإبلالي
And that is a malady—you have always stood as guarantor
of my cure and recovery from its affliction.
