أَنا المُحتاجُ لِلغُفرانِ دَوماً

وَأَكبرُ نَعمَةٍ أَنّي شَهيدُ

I am always in need of forgiveness,

And my greatest blessing is that I am a martyr.

وَسِبطُ الكزبريِّ أَبي المعالي

وَجَدّي شاكرٌ وَاِسمي سَعيدُ

I am the grandson of Al-Kuzbari, my father is the most eminent,

My grandfather is grateful and my name is Sa'eed.

وَقَد أَيقَنتُ أَنّ الخَلقَ تَفنى

وَكأس المَوتِ تَشربُه العَبيدُ

I have realized that all creation perishes,

And the chalice of death is drunk by all slaves.

وَعَنهُ لَم أَجدْ أرّخت بدّاً

وَفي الفِردَوسِ طابَ لِيَ الخلودُ

I found no escape from it,

But in Paradise, eternal bliss awaits me.
