أَصبَحتُ مَغلوباً عَلى عَقلي

أَصبَحتُ مَغلوباً عَلى عَقلي

لا يَستَوي قَولِيَ مَع فِعلي

لا يَستَوي قَولِيَ مَع فِعلي

I have lost command of my reason.

I have become overwhelmed by my own mind,

My words do not accord with my deeds.

My words do not align with my actions.

عَدلُ القِيامَةِ غَيرُ مُختَلِفٍ

عَدلُ القِيامَةِ غَيرُ مُختَلِفٍ

وَالمَوتُ أَوَّلُ ذَلِكَ العَدلِ

وَالمَوتُ أَوَّلُ ذَلِكَ العَدلِ

The justice of the Resurrection is unvarying.

The justice of Judgement Day is undisputed,

And death is the beginning of that justice.

And death is the first of that justice.

يا غَفلَتي عَمّا خُلِقتُ لَهُ

يا غَفلَتي عَمّا خُلِقتُ لَهُ

إِنّي بِمُنقَلَبي لَذو جَهلِ

إِنّي بِمُنقَلَبي لَذو جَهلِ

Oh, my heedlessness of what I was created for!

Oh my ignorance of what I was created for!

Indeed, I am ignorant of my ultimate fate.

I am truly ignorant of my fate.

وَلِيَلحَقَنّي مَن أُخَلِّفُهُ

وَلِيَلحَقَنّي مَن أُخَلِّفُهُ

وَلَأَلحَقَنَّ بِمَن مَضى قَبلي

وَلَأَلحَقَنَّ بِمَن مَضى قَبلي

And whoever I leave behind shall surely join me.

Let me join those I leave behind,

And I shall surely join those who passed on before me.

And let me join those who left before me.
