لَئِن سَئِمَ العُذّالُ طولَ شِكايَتي

لَئِن سَئِمَ العُذّالُ طولَ شِكايَتي

وَمَلَّ حَديثي زائِري وَمُجالِسي

وَمَلَّ حَديثي زائِري وَمُجالِسي

Even if the reproachers have tired of my long complaint,

Though the reproachers grow weary of my complaints

and my visitor and companion have wearied of my talk,

And my conversing visitors and gatherings,

وَعادَ طَبيبي مِن سَقامِيَ آيساً

وَعادَ طَبيبي مِن سَقامِيَ آيساً

فَما أَنا مِن روحِ الحَياةِ بِآيِسِ

فَما أَنا مِن روحِ الحَياةِ بِآيِسِ

and my physician has grown hopeless over my illness,

And my physician despairs and gives up on my sickness,

yet I do not despair of the breath of life.

I'm not despairing of the breath of life.
