وَلَرُبَّ ذِي لُؤْمٍ غَلِطْتُ بِقَصْدِهِ

فَرَجَعْتُ عنهُ كَمَا تَسَوَّلَ خَائِبَا

And many a one of ill purpose I assailed,

Then from him turned repentant as he made moan,

وَذَممْتُ عَنّي فِعْلهُ وَشَكَرْتُهُ

لَمَّا رَجَعْتُ على يَدَيْهِ تَائِبا

And did revoke his deed, yet thanked him still

When I returned at his hands in penitence.
