1. Praise be to Allah, the Generous, the Benevolent
The Giver, the One who favors with all bounty

2. And I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Forgiving, the Merciful
For every sin, recent or old

3. O my heart, be steadfast and upright
So you may come to Allah with a pure heart

4. Do you not see death, frightening and appalling
It overcomes both loved ones and strangers

5. Do not be fooled by your health, how many a lad
Woke up healthy, but by evening fell ill

6. And after days, met his end
Either to Paradise or Hellfire

7. And beware of death and be anxious about it
A grieving, sorrowful, immense anxiety

8. I hope, I hope the Merciful forgives me
And does not take me to account for my generosity

9. For I have no savior but His grace
Enough, enough, the Generous suffices

10. How much has He favored me with gifts
That never crossed my mind, O intimate friend

11. I hope, my God, and my hope is in Him
My provision, treasure, success, and necessity

12. Then peace and blessings be upon
The one God favored with the Greatest Station

13. And his family and companions whenever
The birds chirped at dawn or dusk
