فَلَيتَ جَدا مالِك كُلّه

وَما يُرتَجى مِنهُ مِن مَطلَبِ

Oh that my possessions were utterly destroyed,

And that the hopes of gain from them had departed.

أُصِبتُ بِأَضعافِ أَضعافِهِ

وَلَم أَنتَجِعهُ وَلَم أَرغَبِ

I have had my fill, and more than my fill, of them,

Yet neither did I profit from them, nor take joy in them.

أَسَأتُ اِختِيارِيَ مِنكَ الثَواب

لِيَ الذَنبُ جَهلاً وَلَم تُذنِبِ

I made a bad choice in choosing rewards from You.

The sin is mine, in ignorance, while You are sinless.
