لا تَأخُذني بِجُرمِ مَن قَد غَلِطا

لا تَأخُذني بِجُرمِ مَن قَد غَلِطا

في حالَةِ سُكرِهِ وَإِن كانَ خَطا

في حالَةِ سُكرِهِ وَإِن كانَ خَطا

Do not hold me accountable for the offense of one who erred

Do not blame me for the sins of one who erred

in his drunken state, even if it was a mistake.

In a state of drunkenness, though he was wrong

لَولا صَدَرَت مِنَ آدَمٍ هَفوَتُهُ

لَولا صَدَرَت مِنَ آدَمٍ هَفوَتُهُ

ما كانَ مِنَ الجَنَّةِ يَوماً هَبَطا

ما كانَ مِنَ الجَنَّةِ يَوماً هَبَطا

Had Adam’s lapse not occurred,

If Adam's lapse had not occurred

he would never have descended from Paradise.

He'd not have fallen from paradise one day
