اِذكُر إِلَهَكَ إِن هَبَبتَ مِنَ الكَرى

اِذكُر إِلَهَكَ إِن هَبَبتَ مِنَ الكَرى

وَإِذا هَمَمتَ لِهَجعَةٍ وَرُقادِ

وَإِذا هَمَمتَ لِهَجعَةٍ وَرُقادِ

Remember your God when you wake from slumber,

Remember your God if you are free from worries,

And when you intend to slumber and sleep.

And when you intend to rest and sleep,

إِحذَر مَجيئَكَ في الحِسابِ بِزائِفٍ

إِحذَر مَجيئَكَ في الحِسابِ بِزائِفٍ

فَاللَهُ رَبُّكَ أَنقَدُ النُقّادِ

فَاللَهُ رَبُّكَ أَنقَدُ النُقّادِ

Beware of coming to the reckoning with anything counterfeit;

Beware of coming to judgement with falsehood,

For God, your Lord, is the keenest of assayers.

For God is your Lord, the most demanding of reckoners.

تَغشى جَهَنَّمَ دَمعَةٌ مِن تائِبٍ

تَغشى جَهَنَّمَ دَمعَةٌ مِن تائِبٍ

فَتَبوخُ وَهِيَ شَديدَةُ الإيقادِ

فَتَبوخُ وَهِيَ شَديدَةُ الإيقادِ

A tear from a penitent envelops Hell,

A tear of the repentant covers hell,

So it dies down, though fiercely kindled.

Then it melts away, and it is fiercely burning.
