1. إنَّ بناءَ الخَزّانِ أَنهَكَني

    وَهدَّ جسمي وَزادَ في سَقَمي

    Indeed, building the reservoir has exhausted me,

    And broken down my body and worsened my illness.

  2. أَستَودِعُ اللَهَ كُلَّ ما صَنَعَت

    يَدي وَشادَت من باذِخٍ هِممي

    I entrust to God all that has been made

    By my hand, and every lofty work my aspirations have raised.
