1. فَإِنَّ اللَهَ تَوّابٌ رَحيمٌ

    وَلِيُّ قَبولِ تَوبَةِ كُلِّ غاوي

    For God is ever accepting of repentance, merciful,

    The One who accepts the repentance of every wayward soul.

  2. أُؤَمِّلُ أَن يُعافِيَني بِعَفوٍ

    وَيُسخِنَ عَينَ إِبليسَ المُناوي

    I hope He will heal me through forgiveness,

    And make the eye of Iblis, the adversary, burn with grief,

  3. وَيَنفَعَني بِمَوعِظَتي وَقَولي

    وَيَنفَعَ كُلَّ مُستَمِعٍ وَراوي

    And benefit me through my admonition and my speech,

    And benefit every listener and reciter.

  4. ذُنوبي قَد كَوَت جَنبيّ كَيّا

    أَلا إِنَّ الذُنوبَ هِيَ المَكاوي

    My sins have indeed seared both my sides;

    Behold, sins are indeed the cauterizing irons.

  5. فَلَيسَ لِمَن كَواهُ الذَنبُ عَمداً

    سِوى عَفوِ المُهَيمِنِ مِن مُداوي

    For one seared by willful sin, there is none

    To heal him save the pardon of the Guardian.
