إني لأعجب من خساسةِ عقلِهِ

نسيَ الذنوبَ فخانَهُ الغُفرانُ

I am amazed at the baseness of his mind,

He forgot his sins, so forgiveness has abandoned him.

وغدا على مشروعةٍ رهنَ الردى

فالجوُّ قبرٌ والهوا أكفانُ

And he rose to forbidden pleasures, hostage to ruin,

So the atmosphere is a grave and desire is a shroud.
