يَا رَبُّ قَدْ سَوَّدْتُ وَجْهَ صَحِيفَتِي

بِجَرَائِرٍ لِي كَسْبُهَا وَلَكَ القَضَا

Oh Lord, I have blackened the face of my record

With sins that were my doing, while ordaining was Yours

وَالْقَصْدُ أنْ أنْجُو مِنَ الآتِي كَمَا

نَجَّيْتَنِي يَا رَبُّ فِيمَا قَدْ مَضَى

And my aim is to escape what is yet to unfold

As You saved me, my Lord, from what happened before

فَبِجَاهِ أحْمَدَ لاَ تُخَيِّبْ مَقْصَدِي

وَتَوَلَّنِي بِالْعَفْوِ وَامْنُنْ بِالرِّضَى

So for Ahmad's sake, do not foil my intent

And take me in Your care, forgive and consent
