عُذري وَعَتبُكَ ذا رَطبٌ وَذا خَشِنُ

عُذري وَعَتبُكَ ذا رَطبٌ وَذا خَشِنُ

فَاِمنُن بِعَفوِكَ لا زالَت لَكَ المِنَن

فَاِمنُن بِعَفوِكَ لا زالَت لَكَ المِنَن

My excuse and your reproach: this is soft, and that is harsh.

My apology and your reproach, one is soft and one is harsh

So favor me with your pardon; may your favors never cease.

So grant me your pardon, may your favors ever last

وَلا تَدَع رَوضَةَ الإِغضاءِ عاطِلَةً

وَلا تَدَع رَوضَةَ الإِغضاءِ عاطِلَةً

لا دَوحَةٌ لِلرِضا فيها وَلا غُصُنُ

لا دَوحَةٌ لِلرِضا فيها وَلا غُصُنُ

And do not leave the garden of forbearance bare,

Let not the garden of consent remain barren

with no spreading tree of goodwill in it, nor any branch.

No palms of pleasure in it, nor branch

وَداوِ بِالوَصلِ مِن دَواءِ القَلى دَنِفا

وَداوِ بِالوَصلِ مِن دَواءِ القَلى دَنِفا

قَد شَفَّهُ كَمَدٌ في طَيِّهِ حَزَنُ

قَد شَفَّهُ كَمَدٌ في طَيِّهِ حَزَنُ

And with reunion heal a man sickened by aversion's remedy,

And cure with reunion the sickness of estrangement

whom anguish has worn thin, with sorrow in its folds.

A sadness has weakened it, melting in its folds

أَنا المُقِرُّ بِأَنّي قَد أَسَأتُ فَإِن

أَنا المُقِرُّ بِأَنّي قَد أَسَأتُ فَإِن

تُحسِن فَأَنتَ الَّذي إِحسانُهُ حَسَنُ

تُحسِن فَأَنتَ الَّذي إِحسانُهُ حَسَنُ

I acknowledge that I have done wrong; so if

I admit I have done wrong, so if

you show kindness, then you are the one whose kindness is beautiful.

You do good, you are the one whose goodness is best
