بهواكَ هُنتُ على الَّذي

قَد كنتُ ذا عزٍّ عَليهِ

For your love I have become lowly

To him before whom I was mighty

وبَعُدتُ دُونَ النَّاسِ مِم

مَن كُنتُ أقرَبهُم إليهِ

And have grown distant from people

To whom I had been most friendly

أتُرى هَواكَ يُقيلُني

فأتوبَ مِنه عَلى يدَيهِ

Will your love make me turn back

And repent at his hands for what has passed
