يا مَن خَلَعتُ عَلى هَواهُ طاعَتي

فَغَدا يُجَرِّرُها بِكُلِّ مَكانِ

O You whom I have given my obedience

Yet he now drags it through every place

هاتيكَ لِلمِسكينِ أَوَّلُ زَلَّةٍ

فُتَوَخَّ فيهِ مَثوبَةَ الغُفرانِ

Grant this poor soul pardon for his first mistake

And prepare for him the reward of forgiveness

إِن لَم يُخَلِّصني الوِصالُ بِجاهِهِ

سَأَموتُ تَحتَ عُقوبَةِ الهِجرانِ

If union with you does not save me through your grace

I shall die under the punishment of estrangement
