1. I am always in need of forgiveness,
And my greatest blessing is that I am a martyr.
١. أَنا المُحتاجُ لِلغُفرانِ دَوماً
وَأَكبرُ نَعمَةٍ أَنّي شَهيدُ
2. I am the grandson of Al-Kuzbari, my father is the most eminent,
My grandfather is grateful and my name is Sa'eed.
٢. وَسِبطُ الكزبريِّ أَبي المعالي
وَجَدّي شاكرٌ وَاِسمي سَعيدُ
3. I have realized that all creation perishes,
And the chalice of death is drunk by all slaves.
٣. وَقَد أَيقَنتُ أَنّ الخَلقَ تَفنى
وَكأس المَوتِ تَشربُه العَبيدُ
4. I found no escape from it,
But in Paradise, eternal bliss awaits me.
٤. وَعَنهُ لَم أَجدْ أرّخت بدّاً
وَفي الفِردَوسِ طابَ لِيَ الخلودُ
