ألا كم مدعٍ للَه تائبٌ

وفيما يدعيه فهو كاذب

Oh how many claim repentance to God

Yet in what they claim, they are liars

فإن التائبين لهم طريق

تدل على مواضيه الرغائب

For the truly repentant have a path

That shows the way to their desires

وبغض للذي كانوا عليه

وحب للذي للَه واجب

And hatred for what they used to be

And love for what is duty to God

وهجران الكرى حيث البرايا

بهم مال الكرى والليل كاثب

And leaving off vices where wastelands lie

At night their hearts pierced with fear

تبيت قلوبهم فيها وجيب

لخوفهم وأدمعهم سواكب

Their tears falling like shooting stars

For their fear of God the lies did end
