يَقومُ لَها ذَنبي بِأَحسَنِ عُذرِه
I shall refrain from thanking his bounty for a reason
For which my fault offers its best excuse:
إِذاif أَناI بَعدَafter الجُهدِthe effort قَصَّرتُfall short شاكِراًwhile giving thanks
إِذا أَنا بَعدَ الجُهدِ قَصَّرتُ شاكِراً
فَقَدthen indeed صارَhas become لِلتَقصيرِthrough falling short ذَنبيmy fault كَشُكرِهlike thanking him
فَقَد صارَ لِلتَقصيرِ ذَنبي كَشُكرِه
If, after striving, I fall short in giving thanks,
Then my fault in falling short has become like thanking him.
