أَتَيتُك شَتّى الرَّأيِ لابِسَ حيرَةٍ

أَتَيتُك شَتّى الرَّأيِ لابِسَ حيرَةٍ

فَسَدّدتَني حَتّى رَأَيتُ العَواقِبا

فَسَدّدتَني حَتّى رَأَيتُ العَواقِبا

I came to you, my judgment scattered, clad in bewilderment;

I wandered to you perplexed in thought

so you set me right until I saw the outcomes.

You guided me until I saw the consequences

عَلى حين أَلقى الرَّأي دوني حجابَه

عَلى حين أَلقى الرَّأي دوني حجابَه

فَجُبتُ الخُطوبَ وَاِعتَسَفتُ المَذاهِبا

فَجُبتُ الخُطوبَ وَاِعتَسَفتُ المَذاهِبا

At a time when judgment had cast its veil before me,

While throwing opinions without their veils

so I had traversed hardships and followed paths blindly.

I endured afflictions and regretted misguidance
