1. Every life has an end,
And everything has a final hour.
١. كُلُّ حَياةٍ فَلَها مُدَّةٌ
وَكُلُّ شَيءٍ فَلَهُ آخِرُ
2. Glory to Him who inspired me with His praise,
He who is the First and the Last.
٢. سُبحانَ مَن أَلهَمَني حَمدَهُ
وَمَن هُوَ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ
3. He who reigns eternally in His kingdom,
He who is the Hidden and the Manifest.
٣. وَمَن هُوَ الدائِمُ في مُلكِهِ
وَمَن هُوَ الباطِنُ وَالظاهِرُ
4. O He who determines the course of time with His bliss,
None can deter or hinder Him.
٤. يا قاطِعَ الدَهرِ بِلَذّاتِهِ
لَيسَ لَهُ ناهٍ وَلا زاجِرُ
5. The arrow of fate has struck you, O heedless one,
And death overwhelms with its might.
٥. أَتاكَ يا مَغرورُ سَهمُ الرَدى
وَالمَوتُ في سَطوَتِهِ قاهِرُ
6. O Lord, I am Your hopeful and thankful servant
In all that You decree.
٦. يا رَبِّ إِنّي لَكَ في كُلِّ ما
قَدَّرتَ عَبدٌ آمِلٌ شاكِرُ
7. Forgive my abundant sins,
And conceal my faults, for You are the Concealer.
٧. فَاغفِر ذُنوبي إِنَّها جَمَّةٌ
وَاستُر خَطائي إِنَّكَ الساتِرُ
