1. بدموعنا غسلت بقايا ذنبنا

    والنار تأكل ظلها وظلامها

    With our tears, the remnants of our sin were washed away,

    and the fire devours its shadow and its darkness.

  2. وإذا السعير على النفوس تسلطت

    لعقابها إذ زودت آثامها

    And when the blaze held sway over souls,

    to punish them, since they had been laden with their sins,

  3. لطف الرؤوف بها فأحرق ذنبها

    عنها وصان بلطفه أجسامها

    the All-Compassionate was gentle with them and burned their sin

    away from them, and through His kindness preserved their bodies.

  4. فلو آنّ أرواحا سواها رمن أن

    يدخلن فيها ما أطعن قيامها

    So if souls other than these sought to

    enter it, they could not endure standing there [probable reading; ending unclear].
