فَلَو كانوا اِذ بانوا يَئِست فَلَم يَكُن

لَهُم اِذ هُمُ شَخط عَلَيكَ رَجاءُ

Had they when they despaired not hoped again,

Then when in wrath against you they were bent,

إذاً لِشفاك اليَأس من كلف بِهِم

وَفي اليَأس مِمّا لا يُنالُ شِفاءُ

To intercede for them had been in vain,

And hope of mercy that shall not relent.
