1. يا عالِمًا بِالحالِ في كلِّ حال

    وعالِمَ الأَسرارِ والخافِيَةْ

    O Knower of the state of things in every circumstance,

    And Knower of secrets and what is hidden,

  2. (تمّوزُ) قد عادَ، ولَمَّا يَعُدْ

    للجِسمِ ما أَبلى مِنَ العافِيةْ

    Tammuz has returned, but there has not yet returned

    To the body the health it wore away.

  3. أنتَ الّذي أَعْطَيْتَ ما لم يكن

    يُعْطِيهِ إلّا أنتَ يا رَبِّيَه

    You are the One who gave what no one

    Could give but You, O my Lord.

  4. ربّاهُ يا مَولايَ مُرْ مِحْنَتِي

    تَرْحَلُ عن جِسمي إلى الهاوِيَة

    O Lord, O my Master, command my affliction

    To depart from my body into the abyss.

  5. ومُرْ شآبيبَ الشِّفا والرِّضا

    والعفو أنْ تُسْعِفَني ثانية

    And command showers of healing and favor

    And pardon to come to my aid once more.

  6. واسْتُرْ ولا تَهْتِكْ إلهي كما

    عَوَّدْتَنِي في السَنَّةِ الماضِيَةْ

    And cover me, do not lay me bare, my God, as

    You so often did for me in the year gone by.

  7. يا رَبُّ إنّي مُؤْمِنٌ مُخْلِصٌ

    يا لَيْتَها لم تكنِ القاضِيَةْ

    O Lord, I am indeed a sincere believer.

    Oh, if only it had not been the fatal blow!
