1. أُرانِي قَدْ ضَعُفْتُ فَلَيْتَ شِعْري

    مَتَى سَيْري إلى دَارِ الْقَرارِ

    I see that I have grown weak—would that I knew

    when I shall journey to the Abode Everlasting.

  2. فَهَبْ لِي يا إلَهي طُولَ عُمْرٍ

    صَحيحَ الْجِسْمِ في نِعَمٍ كِبارِ

    So grant me, O my God, a long life,

    sound in body amid Your great blessings;

  3. وعِلْمِي فامْلاءِ الأقْطارَ مِنْهُ

    إلَهِي واجْعَلِ الْفِرْدَوْسَ دَاري

    and as for my knowledge, fill every land with it.

    My God, make Paradise my home.
