Ḥizb al-Shakwā

حزب الشكوى

Clause 73 of 99 · Take my hand

وَعَظُمَتْ عَلَيَّ هُمُومِي وَأَوْزَارِي وَأَحْزَانِي وَأَكْدَارِي وَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيَّ سَوَادُ لَيْلِي وَبَعُدَ عَنِّي طُلُوعُ بَيَاضِ نَهَارِي

my cares, my burdens, my sorrows and my troubles weigh heavy on me, the black of my night has grown long, and the white of my day is far from rising.

Wa-ʿaẓumat ʿalayya humūmī wa-awzārī wa-aḥzānī wa-akdārī wa-taṭāwala ʿalayya sawādu laylī wa-baʿuda ʿannī ṭulūʿu bayāḍi nahārī
