أَتَيتُكَ تائِباً مِن كُلِّ ذَنبٍ

أَتَيتُكَ تائِباً مِن كُلِّ ذَنبٍ

أُبادِرُ مُنيَتي وَحُلولَ رَمسي

أُبادِرُ مُنيَتي وَحُلولَ رَمسي

I have come to you, repentant of every sin.

I come to you repentant of every sin

I hasten before my death and my entry into the grave.

I hasten my death and the setting of my sun

أَسَأتُ فَأَنعِمي وَتَدارَكيني

أَسَأتُ فَأَنعِمي وَتَدارَكيني

بِعَفوٍ مِنكِ قَبلَ خُروجِ نَفسي

بِعَفوٍ مِنكِ قَبلَ خُروجِ نَفسي

I have done wrong; so be gracious and rescue me

I did wrong, so be gracious and make amends to me

with pardon from you, before my soul departs.

With your forgiveness before my soul departs

مَضى أَمسي وَقَد حُمِّلتُ جَهداً

مَضى أَمسي وَقَد حُمِّلتُ جَهداً

وَأَصبَحتُ الغَداةَ بِحالِ أَمسي

وَأَصبَحتُ الغَداةَ بِحالِ أَمسي

My yesterday passed while I was burdened with hardship,

My yesterday has passed and I was laden with toil

and this morning I am in the same state as yesterday.

And I woke in the morning in the state of my yesterday
