وَكَريمٍ نالَ الكَرامِةِ مِنّا

وَلَئيمٍ ذي نَخوَةٍ قَد أَهَنّا

A generous one attained dignity from us

While a miserable wretch with valor we disgraced

ثُمَّ لَم يَرجِعِ الكَلامُ إِلَينا

لَو تَرى في الكَلامِ أِن قَد أَذِنّا

Then no words returned to us

If you could see how with words we have sinned
