نَسَبْتَ لِيَ الْمَسَاويَّ اعْتِسَافَا

نَسَبْتَ لِيَ الْمَسَاويَّ اعْتِسَافَا

وَغَطَّيْتَ الْمَحاسِنَ بِالذُّنُوبِ

وَغَطَّيْتَ الْمَحاسِنَ بِالذُّنُوبِ

You attributed faults to me unjustly,

You attributed sins to me as a confession,

and covered my virtues with sins.

And covered up virtues with faults.

أَعَلاَّمَ الْعُيُوبِ جَزَاكَ عَنِّي

أَعَلاَّمَ الْعُيُوبِ جَزَاكَ عَنِّي

بِمَا أَسْلَفْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ

بِمَا أَسْلَفْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ

O expert in faults, may you be repaid on my behalf

Is making my flaws known your reward for me

for what you have done, by the All-Knower of the unseen.

For what I did in secret, Knower of secrets?
