أُنهي إِلى اِبني سلاماً عاطراً أرجاً

مِن مقولٍ بِسوى ذكراه ما لَهجا

I send my son fragrant, perfumed greetings

With words other than mentioning him I have not uttered

وَبعد فَالمرتَجى عفوٌ يَعود به

وَجهُ اِعتِذاري إِلى علياكَ مُبتَهِجا

And so I hope for forgiveness that will return

With my face turned happily towards your highness

وَذاك أنّي مذ فارقتُ حَضرتكم

حُممتُ من فرطِ ما قَد ساء مُمتزجا

That is because since I left your presence

I have been anxious from the excess of what went wrong, confused

بَقيتُ خمسةَ أيّامٍ بِه قلقاً

وَبعدها فتحَ البرءَ الّذي رُتِجا

I remained five days in anxiety with it

And after that the innocence that was disturbed

وَها أَنا اليوم ساعٍ في مرادكمُ

لا خيّب اللّه لي فيكُم عظيمَ رَجا

And here I am today striving towards your purpose

May God not disappoint me of your great hope
