أَيُّها الواقِفُ اِعتِباراً بِقَبري

إِسمَع فيهِ قَولَ عَظمٍ رَمِيمِ

O you who stand to take heed at my grave

Hear in it the words of a frail, ruined man

أَودَعوني بَطنَ الضَّريحِ وَخافوا

مِن ذُنوبٍ كُلومُها بِأَديمي

They laid me in the belly of the tomb, fearing

Sins whose traces were engraved on my mind

قُلتُ لا تَجزَعوا عَلَيَّ فَإِنّي

حَسَنُ الظَّنِّ بِالرَؤوفِ الرَّحيمِ

I said, "Do not fret for me, for I

Have good thoughts of the Kind and Merciful"

وَدَعُوني بِما اِكتَسَبتُ رَهيناً

غَلِقَ الرَّهنُ عِندَ مَولىً كَريمِ

And leave me hostage to what I earned

The hostage is kept with a Lord Most Generous
