أَسَأتُ مُقَصِّراً وَالعذرُ بادٍ

أَسَأتُ مُقَصِّراً وَالعذرُ بادٍ

وعَفوكَ عَن مثالي لا يضيقُ

وعَفوكَ عَن مثالي لا يضيقُ

I have wronged and fallen short, though my excuse is plain;

I have done wrong, falling short, and my excuse is plain.

and your pardon has room for one such as I.

And your pardon is not too narrow for one like me.

وهَبْ أنّي الحريّ بكلِّ ذَنبٍ

وهَبْ أنّي الحريّ بكلِّ ذَنبٍ

فأنتَ بكلِّ مَكرُمةٍ حَقيقُ

فأنتَ بكلِّ مَكرُمةٍ حَقيقُ

Suppose that I deserve every fault—

And suppose I am guilty of every sin—

then you deserve every noble quality.

For you are worthy of every noble deed.
