1. الحمد لله لا سيبي ولا حولي

    لانا على الناس لا قاضي ولا والي

    Praise be to God; it is neither my concern nor within my power.

    I am neither a judge nor a governor over people.

  2. إلا إني أنصح لمن بايستمع قولي

    فإن أبى ذاك له حاله ولي حالي

    I only offer advice to whoever will listen to my words.

    But if he refuses that, his affairs are his, and mine are mine.

  3. يا رب يارب يا ذا الفضل والطول

    اغفر ذنوبي واصلح بالي البالي

    O Lord, O Lord, O possessor of grace and bounty,

    Forgive my sins and mend my worn-out mind.
