وَشادِنٍ أَفسَدَ قَل

بي بَعدَ حُسنِ تَوبَتِه

And after repenting, he corrupted my heart

He visited me before my guidance at the time of his falsehood

وَزارَني مِن قَبلِ إِع

لامي بِوَقتِ زَورَتِه

He came with an army of beauty in its multitude and equipment

Life and death are in his union and separation

جاءَ بِجَيشِ الحُسنِ في

عَديدِهِ وَعُدَّتِه

His bow and arrow, his sword in his glance

His arrows scattered before him from his gaze

العَيشُ وَالمَماتُ في

وِصالِهِ وَهِجرَتِه

His banner of banners shone above his headdress

The letter Noon of his Azariyon banner flashes on his right

وَقَوسُهُ وَسَهمُهُ

وَسَيفُهُ في لَحظَتِه

The mole of Habeshi beauty contrasting in color on his left

And death in his legs that he walks with in his will

قُدّامَهُ سِهامُهُ

مَبثوثَةٌ مِن نَظرَتِه

So abstinence had no escape from his power

And repentance died as soon as his awe appeared

وَعِلمُهُ مِن عَلَمٍ

أَشرَقَ فَوقَ طُرَّتِه

And Satan came to disgrace me with his rising

And I knew what I suspect is from his aggression

وَنونُ آذَريونِهِ

يَلوحُ في مَيمَنَتِه

So my Lord did not cease to remind me of Him and the pardon of His power

And He said to me what you said and more in His mercy

وَخالُ حُسنٍ حَبَشِي

يُ اللَونِ في مَيسَرَتِه

وَالمَوتُ في ساقَيهِ قَد

يُمِرُّهُ في مِشيَتِه

فَلَم يَكُن لِلزُهدِ إِل

لا فِرَةٌ مِن سَطوَتِه

وَماتَتِ التَوبَةُ لَم

ما أَن بَدا مِن هَيبَتِه

وَجاءَ إِبليسُ يُهَن

ني نَظَري بِطَلعَتِه

وَقَد عَلِمتُ ما أَشُك

كُ أَنَّ ذا مِن بُغيَتِه

فَلَم يَزَل يُذكِرُني

رَبّي وَعَفوَ قُدرَتِه

وَقالَ لي ما قُلتَهُ

وَغَيرُهُ في رَحمَتِه
