وَالَّذِينَ
إِذَا
فَعَلُوا
فَاحِشَةً
أَوْ
ظَلَمُوا
أَنفُسَهُمْ
ذَكَرُوا
اللَّهَ
فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا
لِذُنُوبِهِمْ
وَمَن
يَغْفِرُ
الذُّنُوبَ
إِلَّا
اللَّهُ
وَلَمْ
يُصِرُّوا
عَلَى
مَا
فَعَلُوا
وَهُمْ
يَعْلَمُونَ
wa-lladhīna ʾidhā faʿalū fāḥishatan ʾaw ẓalamū ʾanfusahum dhakarū llāha fa-staghfarū li-dhunūbihim wa-man yaghfiru dh-dhunūba ʾillā llāhu wa-lam yuṣirrū ʿalā mā faʿalū wa-hum yaʿlamūna
and those who, when they commit an indecent act or wrong themselves, remember Allah, and plead [to Allah seeking His] forgiveness for their sins—and who forgives sins except Allah?—and who knowingly do not persist in what [sins] they have committed.
— Ali Quli Qarai
And those who, having done something to be ashamed of, or wronged their own souls, earnestly bring Allah to mind, and ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins except Allah?- and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done.
