I have committed a grave sin.
I came with a colossal crime,
And you are fit to grant pardon.
Yet You are worthy of pardon,
فإنso if عفوتَyou pardon فمنٌّthen it is grace
فإن عفوتَ فمنٌّ
وإنand if جزيتَyou punish فعدلُthen it is justice
وإن جزيتَ فعدلُ
So if you pardon, it is grace.
So if You pardon, it's a favor,
And if you punish, it is justice.
And if You punish, it's justice.
Sol 6.1
