تُعالِجُ بِالتَطَبُّبِ كُلَّ داءٍ

وَلَيسَ لِداءِ ذَنبِكَ مِن عِلاجِ

You treat every illness with medicine

Yet for the illness of your sin there is no cure

سِوى ضَرَعٍ إِلى الرَحمَنِ مَحضٍ

بِنِيَّةِ خائِفٍ وَيَقينِ راجِ

Except sincere pleading to the Merciful

With the intention of one fearful and certain of need

وَطولِ تَهَجُّدٍ بِطِلابِ عَفوٍ

بِلَيلٍ مُدلَهِمِّ السِترِ داجِ

And long vigils begging forgiveness

In the dark night's concealing veil

وَإِظهارِ النَدامَةِ كُلَّ وَقتٍ

عَلى ما كُنتَ فيهِ مِنَ اِعوِجاجِ

And showing remorse at every moment

For what crookedness you were in

لَعَلَّكَ أَن تَكونَ غَداً عَظيماً

بِبُلغَةِ فائِزٍ مَسرور ناجِ

Perhaps tomorrow you will be great

With the attainment of one triumphant and joyous intimate
