1. You are enough, I am no pillar of evils,
Nor a plain of contentment or plateaus,
١. كفى بِك لَستُ ركناً من شروري
ولا هَضبا الرَّضوَّى أو سُواجِ
2. And who is this well-mannered in the deserts,
And who is this exonerated from sin?
٢. ومَن هذا المهذَّبُ في البَرَايا
ومَن هذا المبَّرءُ من خَداجِ
3. And the acknowledgment of the confessor,
Of what he has perpetrated is harder on him than the punishment of a judge,
٣. وإقرارُ المُقر بما جَنَاهُ
أشَدُّ عليه من جز الوداجِ
4. And sufficient punishment for the criminal
Is the shyness that overcomes him when he communes.
٤. وحَسبُكَ من عُقُوبةِ ذى أجترام
حَيَاءٌ يَعترِيهِ إذا تُنَاجِي
