1. يَقولُ لي مالِكي وَالدَمعُ مُنحَدِرٌ

    لا خَفَّفَ اللَهُ رَبُّ العَرشِ بَلواكا

    My master says to me, as tears stream down:

    "May God, Lord of the Throne, never ease your affliction."

  2. وَإِن دَعَوتُ عَلَيهِ عِندَ مَعتَبةٍ

    يَدُلُ قلبي لهُ في السِرِّ حاشاكا

    Yet if I pray against him in a moment of reproach,

    My heart signals to him in secret: "Not you."
