يَا بَارِقاً يَهْدِي سَنَاهُ مَنْ دَجَتْ

آفَاقُ مَسْرَاهُ وَأعْيَاهُ الدَّلِيلْ

آفَاقُ مَسْرَاهُ وَأعْيَاهُ الدَّلِيلْ

O flash of lightning, whose radiance guides one whose

Oh guiding light, whose radiance pierces

night journey’s horizons have darkened and whose guide has left him bewildered.

أنْ يَغْفِرُوا ذَنْبِي وَيُولُونِي الجَمِيلْ

My masters, if they'll pardon me and show me kindness.
