1. بادِرْ إِلى التَّوبَةِ الخَلصاءِ مُجْتَهِداً

    وَالمَوْتُ وَيْحَكَ لم يَمْدُدْ إِليكَ يَدا

    Hasten earnestly to sincere repentance,

    while death—alas for you!—has not yet stretched a hand toward you.

  2. وَارْقُبْ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَعْداً لَيْسَ يُخْلِفُهُ

    لا بُدَّ ِللَّهِ مِنْ إِنْجازِ ما وَعَدا

    And await a promise from God that He will not break;

    God will surely fulfill what He has promised.
