مازِلتُ أَغرَقُ في الإِساءةِ دائِباً

وَيَنالُني مِنك العَفوُ وَالغُفرانُ

Still I keep offending constantly

And I receive forgiveness and pardon from you

تُولي الجَميلَ عَلى القَبيحِ وَإِنَّما

يُرضيكَ مِنّي الزورُ وَالبُهتانُ

You meet good with evil, yet

Lies and slander from me appease you

فَكَأَنَّني بِالذَنبِ أَلتَمِسُ الرِضى

إِذ لَم يَضِرني عِندَك العِصيانُ

So it's as though with sin I seek pleasure

Since with you disobedience does not harm me
