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...BATTLE-CRIES by LOUIS UNTERMEYER LINES WRITTEN IN THE ALBUM AT ELBINGERODE, IN HARTZ FOREST by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A LECTURE UPON THE SHADOW by JOHN DONNE AIRLY BEACON by CHARLES KINGSLEY ITYLUS by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE PREFACE TO ERINNA'S POEMS by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS |
