If indeed my sin has hindered me, leaving me far away,
If my sin has caused me to wander far astray,
and I have not seen the Messenger's abodes and dwelling place,
Though I saw not the Prophet's four rightly guided,
فأهديthen I send صلاتيmy prayer of blessing ماas long as حييتI live مردداrepeating
فأهدي صلاتي ما حييت مرددا

then I send my prayer of blessing, repeating it as long as I live:
I send my prayers to you while I live, repeating them,
you are visited, O Muhammad, best of humankind,
Visiting you, O best of mankind, Muhammad.
صلاةُa prayer of blessing شجa grieving man فيin عبرةa tear مستهلةstreaming
صلاةُ شج في عبرة مستهلة
by a grieving man's prayer amid streaming tears.
My teary prayers at dawn flow ceaselessly,
