ذنوبي أثقلت ظهري وإني

ذنوبي أثقلت ظهري وإني

لمفرط الوزر أضنتني الخطوب

لمفرط الوزر أضنتني الخطوب

My sins have weighed down my back, and I

My sins have weighed down my back and I

Bear, indeed, an excessive burden of sin; calamities have worn me down.

Am overwhelmed with burdensome faults

ومن ألم الخطايا ضاع فكري

ومن ألم الخطايا ضاع فكري

وشمس العمر حاولها الغروب

وشمس العمر حاولها الغروب

And the pain of sins has left my mind bewildered;

And from the pain of mistakes my mind wandered

And sunset has sought to overtake the sun of life.

And the sun of life edged towards sunset

وأوقاتي مشتتةٌ وصبري

وأوقاتي مشتتةٌ وصبري

وهي وتعاظمت فوقي العيوب

وهي وتعاظمت فوقي العيوب

And my hours are scattered, and my patience

My times are scattered and my patience

Has weakened, and faults have grown great above me.

Grew as faults towered over me

وأيامي بنوح الهم تمضي

وأيامي بنوح الهم تمضي

وتقطع ليل مدتها الكروب

وتقطع ليل مدتها الكروب

And my days pass in the wailing of sorrow,

And my days pass in the wailing of worries

And sorrows cut through the night of their span.

And the night of sorrow cuts its length

هربت لباب خير الخلق طه

هربت لباب خير الخلق طه

بباب محمد تمحي الذنوب

بباب محمد تمحي الذنوب

I fled to the door of the best of creation, Taha;

I fled to the door of the best of creation

At Muhammad's door, sins are erased.

At Muhammad's door, sins are erased
