خذ من الوقت ما سمح

واعذران عضك أو رمح

Take from time what is allowed

And excuse its bite or stab

إنما اللوم عندنا

لو صلحنا لقد صلح

The blame is on us

If we had reformed, it would have reformed

ما لنا غير كسبنا

موجب الحزن والفرح

We have nothing but what we earn

The cause of sorrow and joy

لا يلم غير نفسه

من لقى الهم والترح

None blames but himself

Whoever faces worries and fatigue

ذامع عفوه الكثير

ولو يؤاخذ بما اجترح

Abundant is His great pardon

Even if He takes us to account for what we committed

ما بقى قط دابة

هكذا قد أتى وصح

No creature would remain

Thus has it come and gone

تب إلى الله كي نفوز

بالأماني وبالمنح

Repent to God so we may win

The wishes and gifts

واعتكف تحت بابه

فاز من تحته انطرح

And devote yourself at His door

For he has triumphed who before it has prostrated

بابه باب كل خير

خاب من عنه انتزح

His door is the door to all good

He who turns away from it is lost

لا تعرج على سواه

فاستمع قول من نصح

Do not detour to other than Him

So listen to the words of one who gives advice

لم يخب قاصد الكريم

من قرع بابه انفتح

The noble-seeking is not disappointed

Whoever knocks on His door, it opens

راجي الله لا يخيب

والذي ظنه وضح

The hopeful of God is not failed

And that which he thought has become clear

يا إلهي وخالقي

عبد كم نحو كم جنح

My God and Creator

How many creations have inclined toward You

يرتجي صفحك الجميل

فاعف يا خير من صفح

Hoping for Your beautiful pardon

So pardon, O Best of those who pardon
