وافى قد عظمت عليَّ ذنوبه

وافى قد عظمت عليَّ ذنوبه

في غيبةٍ قبحت بها آثارُهُ

في غيبةٍ قبحت بها آثارُهُ

He came, his sins against me having grown grave,

During an absence in which his deeds had grown ugly.

فمحا إساءته بنا إحسانهُ

فمحا إساءته بنا إحسانهُ

واستغفرت لذنوبه أوتاره

واستغفرت لذنوبه أوتاره

Then his kindness erased his ill-treatment of us,

And his strings sought forgiveness for his sins.
