It means:
"O my Lord, indeed I have been afflicted with an illness, even though You are the Most Merciful God of all the Merciful."

This prayer is immortalized in the Qur'an, precisely Surah Al-Anbiya verse 83. In it there is an expression of a servant's complaint to Allah SWT with full humility and confidence in His love.
