أَنتُم وَآباؤُكُمُ الأَقدَمونَ

You and your ancient forefathers?

فَإِنَّهُم عَدُوٌّ لي إِلّا رَبَّ العالَمينَ

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

الَّذي خَلَقَني فَهُوَ يَهدينِ

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

وَالَّذي هُوَ يُطعِمُني وَيَسقينِ

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

وَإِذا مَرِضتُ فَهُوَ يَشفينِ

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

وَالَّذي أَطمَعُ أَن يَغفِرَ لي خَطيئَتي يَومَ الدّينِ

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

رَبِّ هَب لي حُكمًا وَأَلحِقني بِالصّالِحينَ

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

وَاجعَل لي لِسانَ صِدقٍ فِي الآخِرينَ

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.

وَاجعَلني مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعيمِ

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

وَاغفِر لِأَبي إِنَّهُ كانَ مِنَ الضّالّينَ

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.
