وكَيْفَ يُرْجِّي الفَتْحَ والْمَنْحَ بَعْدَما

تَلَوَّثَ بالدُّنيا إلى قِمّةِ الرّاسِ

How can he hope for triumph and grace after

He has been corrupted by the world to the crown of his head?

ولا شَكّ أَنّ اللهَ للذّنْبِ غافِرٌ

ولكنْ لِرَجّاعٍ إليْه منَ النّاسِ

No doubt that God forgives sins,

But for those returning to Him from mankind.
