1. Many beauties in souls are near
Yet the prayer's hearing does not answer or hear
١. رُبَّ حُسنٍ مِنَ النُفوسِ قَريبِ
وَسَميعُ الدُعاءَ غَيرُ مُجيبِ
2. And like the swords' letters I judge and decree
So it has shut its eyes to all hearts, did He
٢. وَكَحرفِ السُيوفِ أَقضى وَأَمضى
فَعَلَّ جَفنَيهِ في جَميعِ القُلوبِ
3. Would that it had raised the banners of discontent
From me and pulled me for my sins hence
٣. لَيتَهُ كانَ رافِعاً نَصبَ الأَع
راضِ عَنّي وَجَرَّني بِذُنوبي
