يا رَبِّ حُسْنُ رجائي فيكَ حسَّنَ لي

تضييعَ وقتيَ في لهوٍ وفي لَعِبِ

O Lord, my hope in You has allowed me

To waste my time in play and foolishness

وأنتَ قلتَ لِمن أضحى على ثِقَةٍ

بحسنِ عفوِكَ إنّي عند ظنِّكَ بي

And You have said, for those with faith

In Your pardon's grace, I am as they think of Me
