He said, `My Lord, truly the bones, all [the bones], within me have become feeble, weak, and my head is alight with grey hair (shayban, a specification derived from the subject of the verb in other words, hoariness has spread throughout his hairs just as a spark of fire spreads through firewood) and I wish to supplicate to you, and I have never been in my supplications to You, my Lord, unsuccessful, that is, [I have never been] disappointed, in the past, so do not disappoint me in what follows.

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّي

He said;"My Lord! Indeed my bones have grown feeble..."

meaning, "I have become weak and feeble in strength."

وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا

and gray hair has Ashta`al on my head,

means the gray hair has burned into the black hair. The intent is to inform of weakness and old age, and its external and internal traces.

وَلَمْ أَكُن بِدُعَايِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا



and I have never been unblessed in my invocation to You, O my Lord!

This means, "I have not experienced from You except that You would respond to my supplication and that You would never refuse me in whatever I ask of You."
