1. Blindness has never inclined to good, not once,
Nor seen any praiseworthy trait.
١. وَعَمياءَ لَم تَجنح إِلى الخَير مَرَةً
وَلَم تَرَ شَيئاً مِن حَميد خِصال
2. It is the soul that did not exist, nor did its deeds,
More painful and grievous than arrows falling.
٢. هِيَ النَفس لا كانَت وَلا كانَ فعلَها
أَشد وَأَدهى مِن وُقوع نِبال
3. May God cure my conscience of its harm
And distance me from it to a better state.
٣. عَسى اللَهُ يَشفي مِن أَذاها ضَمائِري
وَيُبعدني عَنها لِأَحسَن حالِ
