1. اللَهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي هائِمٌ قَلِقٌ

    عَلَيَّ ثَوْبانِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَمِنْ سَقَمِ

    God knows that I am distraught and restless.

    I wear two robes: one of affliction and one of sickness.

  2. وَقَدْ نَدِمْتُ عَلَى مَا كانَ مِنْ زَلَلي

    وَأَنْتَ أَعْظَمُ مَنْ يُرْجى مِنَ الأُمَمِ

    And I have indeed felt remorse for my past missteps.

    And, among the nations, you are the greatest of those in whom hope is placed.

  3. فَاغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِكَ يا مَوْلايَ زَلَّتَهُ

    أَوْ لاَ فَحُكْمُكَ فِينا غَيْرُ مُحْتَكِمِ

    So forgive your servant his misstep, O my lord.

    Or do not—for your judgment over us is not arbitrary.
