1. My lord, the devotion of a servant ransoms you,
Who sacrifices himself for you out of his own free will.

2. He ransoms you from the first affliction that befell you,
And from the last breath that left him.

3. Look at the day that resembles you;
If your kind originated from its kind.

4. It tells of your bounty, then when it clears up,
It is as if your face cleared up from its sun.

5. But you are superior to it in that you always
Remain, while this day follows yesterday.
