1. سُبحانَ رَبِّكَ ما أَراكَ تَتوبُ

    وَالرَأسُ مِنكَ بِشَيبِهِ مَخضوبُ

    Glory be to your Lord! I do not see you repent,

    Though your head is dyed with gray hair.

  2. سُبحانَ رَبِّكَ ذي الجَلالِ أَما تَرى

    نُوَبَ الزَمانِ عَلَيكَ كَيفَ تَنوبُ

    Glory be to your Lord of Majesty! Do you not see

    How time's calamities befall you?

  3. سُبحانَ رَبِّكَ كَيفَ يَغلِبُكَ الهَوى

    سُبحانَهُ إِنَّ الهَوى لَغَلوبُ

    Glory be to your Lord! How does desire overpower you?

    Glory be to Him! Desire is indeed overpowering.

  4. سُبحانَ رَبِّكَ ما تَزالُ وَفيكَ عَن

    إِصلاحِ نَفسِكَ فَترَةٌ وَنُكوبُ

    Glory be to your Lord! You still harbor, toward

    Reforming yourself, lassitude and aversion.

  5. سُبحانَ رَبِّكَ كَيفَ يَلتَذُّ اِمرُؤٌ

    بِالعَيشِ وَهوَ بِنَفسِهِ مَطلوبُ

    Glory be to your Lord! How can a man take pleasure

    In life, while he is pursued for his very life?
