كُلُّ حَياةٍ فَلَها مُدَّةٌ

وَكُلُّ شَيءٍ فَلَهُ آخِرُ

Every life has an end,

And everything has a final hour.

سُبحانَ مَن أَلهَمَني حَمدَهُ

وَمَن هُوَ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ

Glory to Him who inspired me with His praise,

He who is the First and the Last.

وَمَن هُوَ الدائِمُ في مُلكِهِ

وَمَن هُوَ الباطِنُ وَالظاهِرُ

He who reigns eternally in His kingdom,

He who is the Hidden and the Manifest.

يا قاطِعَ الدَهرِ بِلَذّاتِهِ

لَيسَ لَهُ ناهٍ وَلا زاجِرُ

O He who determines the course of time with His bliss,

None can deter or hinder Him.

أَتاكَ يا مَغرورُ سَهمُ الرَدى

وَالمَوتُ في سَطوَتِهِ قاهِرُ

The arrow of fate has struck you, O heedless one,

And death overwhelms with its might.

يا رَبِّ إِنّي لَكَ في كُلِّ ما

قَدَّرتَ عَبدٌ آمِلٌ شاكِرُ

O Lord, I am Your hopeful and thankful servant

In all that You decree.

فَاغفِر ذُنوبي إِنَّها جَمَّةٌ

وَاستُر خَطائي إِنَّكَ الساتِرُ

Forgive my abundant sins,

And conceal my faults, for You are the Concealer.
