ما لامَ نَفسي مِثلَها لِيَ لائِمٌ

ما لامَ نَفسي مِثلَها لِيَ لائِمٌ

وَلا سَدَّ فَقري مِثلُ ما مَلَكَت يَدي

وَلا سَدَّ فَقري مِثلُ ما مَلَكَت يَدي

No reproacher has blamed me as my own soul has.

No one blames me like myself does blame me

Nor has anything relieved my poverty like what my hand possessed.

Nor has poverty ever closed what's reached by my hand
