FORGIVENESS, by AL-JAZIRI First Line: When abu amir pardoned me Last Line: Admits their souls to paradise. | ||||||||
When Abu Amir pardoned me I marvelled at his clemency, Yet realised that it must soon Be followed by a greater boon. For similarly Allah, when He overlooks the sins of men To crown His bounty, in a trice Admits their souls to Paradise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOUTH WIND by SIEGFRIED SASSOON TO A CERTAIN CIVILIAN by WALT WHITMAN SONNET: MAN VERSUS ASCETIC. 5 by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON A DEAD MOTHER by GORDON BOTTOMLEY IN THE HIGH HILLS by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 25 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
