أتدري من تبارز بالذّنوب
وتعصي الأمر منه على الدّؤوبِ

وتنسى ما حماك من الخطوبِ

هو المولى الذي بثِّ العطايا
دراكا في الشّروق وفي الغروب

له شهد الوجودُ بعالميه
من الأجسام طُراً والقلوبِ

وتصريف الظواهر والغيوبِ

وكم فرَّجت عني من كروبِ
How many faults You have hidden from me,
For how many faults of mine You have concealed,

and how many afflictions You have lifted from me!
فوفقني فأنت تمنّ فضلاً
على العاصي وتغفر كلّ حوبِ

upon the sinner, and forgive every sin.
