1. لَئِن سَئِمَ العُوّادُ طولَ شِكايَتي

    وَمَلَّ حَديثي زائِري وَمُجالِسي

    Even if my visitors tire of my prolonged complaining,

    and my visitor and companion weary of my talk,

  2. وَعادَ طَبيبي مِن شِفائي آيسا

    فَما أَنا مِن روحِ الإِلَهِ بِآيِسِ

    and my physician has lost hope of my recovery,

    yet I do not despair of God's relief.
