يَشوبُ بِصالحٍ أَفعالُ سوءٍ

يَشوبُ بِصالحٍ أَفعالُ سوءٍ

يَظنّ جَميلَهُ لِلقبحِ ساتِرْ

He mingles evil deeds with good;

Good deeds intermix with evil acts

He thinks his goodness a veil for ugliness.

He thinks his beauty hides the ugly

فَما حَسناتُه إِلّا وُضوءٌ

وَلَيسَ ذنوبُه إِلّا الكَبائرْ

وَلَيسَ ذنوبُه إِلّا الكَبائرْ

Yet his good deeds are nothing but ablution,

So his virtues are but ablution

And his sins are nothing but major sins.

And his sins are only mortal
