تَزْدَادُ فِيْكَ مُصِيْبَتِي

خَطَرَاً إَذَا نَهْنَهْتُ نَفْسِي

My misfortune in you

Grows perilous when I indulge myself,

وَأَرَى الأَسْى مِنِّي عَلَيْ

كَ اليَوْمَ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ أَمْسِ

And I see my pain for you

Is greater today than yesterday.

فَأَظَلُّ فِيْكَ مُخَالِفَاً

أَهْلَ التَّسَلِّيَ والتَّأَسِّي

So I remain, contradicting

Those given to consolation and sorrow.

لا تَبْعَدَنَّ أَبِي الشَّفِيْ

قَ وَإِنْ عَذَوْتَ رَهِيْنَ رَمْسِ

Do not stay away, my remedy,

If you have excused my being a hostage to spear points.

وَسَقَى ضَرِيْحَكَ وَابِلٌ

يُضْحِي بِصَوْبَتِهِ وَيُمْسِي

And a downpour has watered your tomb,

Sacrificing its direction in the morning and evening.

وَلَقَدْ عَلَتْ دُنْيَايَ بَعْدَ

كَ وَحْشَةٌ مِنْ بَعْدِ أُنْسِ

After you, my world has been filled

With a loneliness after companionship.

وَعِشْتُ فِي ظُلْمِ الخُطُو

بِ وَكُنْتَ مِصْبَاحِي وَشَمْسِي

And I have lived in the darkness of grief,

While you were my lamp and sun.

وَتَرَكْتَنِي غَرَضاً لِنَبْ

لِ الحَادِثَاتِ وَكُنْتَ تُرْسِي

You left me prey

To the blows of events, though you shielded me.

فَتَمَكَّنَتْ أَنْيَابُ رَيْ

بِ الدَّهْرِ مِنْ عَضِّي وَنَهْسِي

So the fangs of the days'

Calamity have sunk into me and torn me apart.
