فَاغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي.

so, (please do) forgive my sin.

اللّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خُشُوعَ الإيمَانِ

O Allah: I pray You for the submission of faith

قَبْلَ خُشُوعِ الذُلَّ فِي النَّارِ،

before I encounter the submission of humiliation in Hellfire.

O the One: O the Absolute: O the Besought of all:

يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

O He Who neither begets nor is He begotten,

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ،

O He Who confers upon him who beseeches Him

تَحَنُّناً مِنْهُ وَرَحْمَةً،

O Allah: (please do) purify my heart from hypocrisy;

وَعَمَلِي مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ،

فَإنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ الأَعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ،

for You know the stealYour looks and that which the breasts conceal.

يَا رَبِّ هذَا مَقَامُ الْعَائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ،

O my Lord: this is the manner of him who seeks Your protection from Hellfire.

هذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ يَبُوءُ لَكَ بِخَطِيئَتِهِ،

This is the manner of him who returns to You carrying his offenses,

وَيَعْتَرِفُ بِذَنْبِهِ،

O Allah, O All-generous:

لا تُحْرِقْ وَجْهِي بِالنَّارِ بَعْدَ سُجُودِي لَكَ وَتَعْفِيرِي

(please) do not burn my face with Hellfire after I have prostrated myself before You and I have soiled my face for You.

بِغَيرِ مَنٍّ مِنِّي عَلَيْكَ

Of course, this is not a personal favor that I have done to myself;

بَلْ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَالْمَنُّ وَالتَّفَضُّلُ عَلَيَّ،

rather it is on account of Your Praiseworthy favor and guidance to me.

ارْحَمْ أَيْ رَبِّ أَيْ رَبِّ أَيْ رَبِّ...

So, have mercy, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord…

ضَعْفِي،
