1. عاقني عن هناء مولاي بالعيد

    وارواء مقلتي من روائه

    I was kept from congratulating my lord on Eid,

    And from slaking my eye’s thirst with his splendor,

  2. مرضٌ عاق عن قيامي إِلى الفرضِ

    فما أستطيعه لأدائه

    By an illness that kept me from rising to fulfill my duty;

    So I am unable to perform it.

  3. غير أني داعٍ لمجدك بالتأثيل

    يرجو إجابةَ لدعائه

    Yet I am one who prays that your glory be firmly rooted,

    Who hopes for an answer to his prayer.
