1. يا قمرا قد صار مثل الهلال

    من بعد ما صيرني كالخلالْ

    O moon that has become like a crescent,

    after making me like a toothpick!

  2. الحمد للّه الذي لم أمت

    حتى أرانيك بهذا السلالْ

    Praise be to God that I did not die

    before He showed you to me suffering from this wasting illness.
