for here I am fleeing into You,

and I am standing before You showing submission to You,

wa waqaftu bayna yadayka mustakenan laka

وَوَقَفْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مُسْتَكِيناً لَكَ،

imploring You,

and all the requests that I want to express

wa atafawwha bihi min �alibate

وَأَتَفَوَّهَ بِهِ مِنْ طَلِبَتِي،

and all the expectation that I hope for my future.

My Lord, if You forgive me, then who is more suited than You to do that?

If the time of my death has come near and my deeds have not still brought me close to You,

I make this confession of my sins a means of approaching You.
I have been unjust to my soul for I have not looked after it.

It will certainly be doomed if You do not forgive it.

I am in a greater need of their being conceded in the next.

As You have not revealed my sins even to any of Your pious bondmen,

do not expose me on the Day of Resurrection before everybody.

وَلا يَنْقُضُ عَهْدَكَ،

وَلا يَغْفُلُ عَنْ شُكْرِكَ،

 and do not take Your orders lightly.
