كبرت فعجل في تدارُكِ ما مَضَى

فإن المنايا شرُّها متدارِك

I grew old so I hastened to make up for what is past

For death's evils will soon overtake me

كسبتَ ذنوباً فامحها بامتداح من

بغرته تجلى الخطوب الحوالِك

You have committed sins, so erase them by praising one

Through whose grace calamities are made to disappear
