يا رَبِّ إِن عَظُمَت ذُنوبي كَثرَةً

فَلَقَد عَلِمتُ بِأَنَّ عَفوَكَ أَعظَمُ

O Lord, though my sins are many in number

O Lord, if my sins have become great in their multitude,

I know Your pardon is yet greater

Indeed, I know that Your forgiveness is greater still.

إِن كانَ لا يَرجوكَ إِلّا مُحسِنٌ

فَبِمَن يَلوذُ وَيَستَجيرُ المُجرِمُ

If none hopes in You but the righteous

If only the doer of good could hope in You,

Then to whom shall the sinner go for refuge?

With whom, then, would the sinner seek refuge and protection?

أَدعوكَ رَبِّ كَما أَمَرتَ تَضَرُّعاً

فَإِذا رَدَدتَ يَدي فَمَن ذا يَرحَمُ

I pray to You, my Lord, as You have commanded

I call upon You, my Lord, as You commanded, in humble supplication,

If You turn me away, who then will show mercy?

And if You turn away my hand, who then will show mercy?

ما لي إِلَيكَ وَسيلَةٌ إِلّا الرَجا

وَجَميلُ عَفوِكَ ثُمَّ أَنّي مُسلِمُ

I have no means to reach You but hope

I have no means to reach You except for hope,

And the beauty of Your pardon, for I am Muslim

And the beauty of Your pardon, and that I am a Muslim.
