أَبا بَكرٍ عَلاكَ الغيظُ مِنّي

أَبا بَكرٍ عَلاكَ الغيظُ مِنّي

وَفيكَ مَوَدَّتي حَقٌّ وَصِدقُ

وَفيكَ مَوَدَّتي حَقٌّ وَصِدقُ

O Abu Bakr, anger at me has overcome you.

Oh Abu Bakr, my anger towards you

And my affection for you is true and sincere.

And my love for you is true and honest

فَصفوَاً إِنّك الأَحرى بِصَفحٍ

فَصفوَاً إِنّك الأَحرى بِصَفحٍ

وَغَيظُ المُؤمِنِ المَحمودِ بَرْقُ

وَغَيظُ المُؤمِنِ المَحمودِ بَرْقُ

So let there be goodwill; indeed, you are best suited to pardon.

So forgive me, for you are most deserving of forgiveness

And the anger of a praiseworthy believer is a flash of lightning.

And a believer's anger is but a fleeting flash
