عُذري وَعَتبُكَ ذا رَطبٌ وَذا خَشِنُ

فَاِمنُن بِعَفوِكَ لا زالَت لَكَ المِنَن

My apology and your reproach, one is soft and one is harsh

So grant me your pardon, may your favors ever last

وَلا تَدَع رَوضَةَ الإِغضاءِ عاطِلَةً

لا دَوحَةٌ لِلرِضا فيها وَلا غُصُنُ

Let not the garden of consent remain barren

No palms of pleasure in it, nor branch

وَداوِ بِالوَصلِ مِن دَواءِ القَلى دَنِفا

قَد شَفَّهُ كَمَدٌ في طَيِّهِ حَزَنُ

And cure with reunion the sickness of estrangement

A sadness has weakened it, melting in its folds

أَنا المُقِرُّ بِأَنّي قَد أَسَأتُ فَإِن

تُحسِن فَأَنتَ الَّذي إِحسانُهُ حَسَنُ

I admit I have done wrong, so if

You do good, you are the one whose goodness is best
