1. بزَّني دهريَ اللئيمُ كَريما

    كانَ لي والداً وكنتُ أنا ابْنا

    My ignoble fate robbed me of a noble man.

    He was a father to me, and I was a son.

  2. كلُّ شيء يبيدُ واللهُ باقٍ

    ربّنا إنَّنا إليكَ أَنَبْنا

    Everything perishes, but God endures.

    Our Lord, indeed we have turned to You in repentance.
