1. I seek forgiveness from Allah, Lord of the grateful one
He erred for a time now passed and his errors
١. أَستَغفِرُ اللَهَ رَبُّ مُدكِرٍ
أَخطَأَ في مُدَّةٍ مَضَت وَخَطّي
2. He whose separation has rent his cloak
And whose eyelids wakefulness has furrowed
٢. خاطَ إِلَيهِ الخُروقَ زائِرُهُ
وَجَفنُهُ بِالرُقادِ لَم يُخَطِ
3. Estrangement at first angered him, then in time
He won content from that discontent
٣. أَسخَطَهُ البَينُ ثُمَّ أَرضَتهُ عُقباهُ
فَنالَ الرِضا مِنَ السَخطِ
4. The spittle of a coy and sportive girl
Ran down a sword quick to the mirage
٤. ذابَ عَلَيهِ لُعابُ لاعِبَةٍ
بِصارِمٍ لِلسَرابِ مُمتَخَطِ
