أَصبَحتُ مَغلوباً عَلى عَقلي

لا يَستَوي قَولِيَ مَع فِعلي

I have become overwhelmed by my own mind,

My words do not align with my actions.

عَدلُ القِيامَةِ غَيرُ مُختَلِفٍ

وَالمَوتُ أَوَّلُ ذَلِكَ العَدلِ

The justice of Judgement Day is undisputed,

And death is the first of that justice.

يا غَفلَتي عَمّا خُلِقتُ لَهُ

إِنّي بِمُنقَلَبي لَذو جَهلِ

Oh my ignorance of what I was created for!

I am truly ignorant of my fate.

وَلِيَلحَقَنّي مَن أُخَلِّفُهُ

وَلَأَلحَقَنَّ بِمَن مَضى قَبلي

Let me join those I leave behind,

And let me join those who left before me.
