1. لَمَّا رأيتُ سُلُوِّي غيرَ مُتَّجِهٍ

    وأَنَّ جُنْدَ اصْطِبَارِي عَادَ مَفْلُولا

    When I saw that forgetting you was beyond me,

    And that the army of my endurance had returned routed,

  2. دَخَلتُ بالرَّغمِ مِنِّي تحتَ طاعَتِكُمْ

    لِيَقضِيَ اللَّهُ أمْراً كَانَ مفْعُولا

    I submitted, against my will, to your command,

    So that God might accomplish what was destined to be.
