1. مالي أَرى الأَبصارَ جافِيَه

    لَم تَلتَفِت مِنّي إِلى ناحِيَه

    Why do I find every gaze so cold,

    not one turning toward any part of me?

  2. لا يَنظُرُ الناسُ إِلى المُبتَلى

    وَإِنَّما الناسُ مَعَ العافِيَه

    People pay no heed to one afflicted;

    they stand only with those in well-being.

  3. وَقَد جَفاني ظالِماً سَيِّدي

    فَاِدمَعي مُنهَلَّةٌ هامِيَه

    My lord has wrongfully cast me off,

    and so my tears stream down in torrents.

  4. صَحبي سَلوا رَبَّكُم العافِيَه

    فَقَد دَهَتني بَعدَكُم داهِيَه

    My friends, ask your Lord for well-being:

    since you left, calamity has befallen me.
