قد عوفى الفاضلُ مما شكا

وصحَّ من سائِر آلامِهِ

The virtuous one has recovered from his pains

And healed from all his afflictions

وذاك أنَّ الداءَ لمّا أَتى

إِليه في جُملة خُدّامه

That is because when the illness came to him

Amongst all his servants

أجَلَّه أن يَعترى جسمه

مَعرِفةً منه بِإعظامه

It was too awed to afflict his body

Out of respect for him

ورامَ توديعاً له فانثَنى

يَرغب في تَقبيل أقدامه

And it bent to take its leave of him

Yearning to kiss his feet

فلم يكُن بُد من اسعافِه

جرياً على معهود إنعامه

So it was inevitable to grant it relief

According to his customary benevolence
