Taba is the Arabic root for "to repent." Tavvab, in the Persian pronunciation, is "the repentant one." In the vocabulary of the prisons of the Islamic Republic, tavvabs are those prisoners who repent their "counter-revolutionary" and "divisionist" pasts and see the light of God on pain of death.“Now that I burn in the fire that I myself have set,
I speak of my sleep and awakening...
From the extremes of humiliation
I speak of eternal shame,
Of a strange but newly familiar sorrow.”
“Confess yourself to heaven: Repent what's past; avoid what is to come” ~ William Shakespeare

The end can and maybe often does reveal to one what they resisted for long. In part it is the helplessness of the situation, and submission.
It must be easier to submit then than to resist the inevitable.

So true Dawn.
you master in arabic and in persian now ?
Interesting !
Repent means feeling guilty of what u have done which u can reverse in no way,but still feeling guilty nd if it doesnt affects ur tmrw then why should it affect ur today and as it can never affect yesterday,is it reminding u of tmrws which could be as guilty as today but still could be made a pride in some distant corners of our heart by showing immense courage on today, if it can be shown;as we can see around, those are the most difficult to see in this vibrant life around us.
how true!
Keshi.
