33 – Ahmad ibn Abi Nasr narrated to me; he said: ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak said:
[al-Baḥr al-Khafīf]
Be bashful whenever you are alone with a sin
before the Lord of the Throne, the All-Wise, the All-Glorious;
You have taken the Almighty lightly, staggering,
while hiding from the eyes of His servants.
٣٣ - حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ:
[البحر الخفيف]
كُنْ حَيِيًّا إِذَا خَلَوْتَ بَذَنْبٍ ... دُونَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مِنْ حَكِيمٍ مَجِيدِ
قَدْ تَهَاوَنْتَ بِالْإِلَهِ عَمِيدًا ... وَتَغَيَّبْتَ عَنْ عُيُونِ الْعَبِيدِ
