يا مَن تَعَرَّضَ بِالمَعاصي خَلِّها

يا مَن تَعَرَّضَ بِالمَعاصي خَلِّها

وَاِحتَل لِما يُنجيكَ ساعَةَ تُعرَضُ

وَاِحتَل لِما يُنجيكَ ساعَةَ تُعرَضُ

O you who put yourself at risk through sins, abandon them.

O you who have indulged in sin, leave it now

And devise a means to save you at the hour you are brought forth.

And prepare for what will save you when you are judged

وَاِستَقرِضِ التَقوى لِكَي تَقوى بِها

وَاِستَقرِضِ التَقوى لِكَي تَقوى بِها

سيما وَعُمرُكَ قَد بَدا يَتَقَرَّضُ

سيما وَعُمرُكَ قَد بَدا يَتَقَرَّضُ

And borrow piety, so that through it you may grow strong.

And borrow piety so that you may be strengthened by it

Especially as your life has already begun to be eaten away.

Especially since your life has begun to dwindle

فَلَئِن عَدَلتَ إِلى طَريقِ نَصيحَتي

فَلَئِن عَدَلتَ إِلى طَريقِ نَصيحَتي

فَلِأَنتَ فيهِ بِحَقِّ نَفسِكَ تَنهَضُ

فَلِأَنتَ فيهِ بِحَقِّ نَفسِكَ تَنهَضُ

For if you turn toward the path of my counsel,

So if you turn to the path of my advice

Then on it you rise to fulfill your duty to your own soul.

Then you will truly rise for your own sake
