This wasting sickness has clothed me in a robe.
This cloak of grief has fully clothed me,
Tireless longing stitched it in the night.
Sewn in the night, a seam that knows no end.

ابر قد نبتت في مضجعي

وخيوط من دموع لي تحل
Needles have sprouted in my bed,
Like branches sprung in the midst of my bed,
And threads are unwound from tears of mine.
Threads woven with tears begin to mend.
