Does the repentance of one who realizes his fault avail,

أتصح توبة مدرك من كونه

1. Does the repentance of one who realizes his fault avail,
Or one who changes his complexion and then repents?

١. أَتَصِحُّ تَوبَةُ مُدرِكٍ مِن كَونِهِ
أَو أَسوَدٍ مِن لَونِهِ فَيَتوبا

2. Misery is prescribed for a man in his life,
And he is destined to fulfill what is prescribed.

٢. كُتِبَ الشَقاءُ عَلى الفَتى في عَيشِهِ
وَليَبلُغَنَّ قَضاءَهُ المَكتوبا

3. When you blame a person who is not to blame,
You will find he has become accustomed to being blamed.

٣. وَإِذا عَتَبتَ المَرءَ لَيسَ بِمُعتَبٍ
أُلفيتَ فيما جِئتَهُ مَعتوبا

4. People in this age and its vicissitudes
Desire positions as if they had a claim to them.

٤. يَبغي المَعاشِرُ في الزَمانِ وَصَرفِهِ
رُتَباً كَأَنَّ لَهُم عَليهِ رُتوبا
