27.confessing my sins, admitting my offenses;

34.whose reflection is little concerning that to which he is coming home;
سُؤَالَ مَنْ قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الاَمَلُ،
soo-aala man qad ghalaba a'lay-hil-amal
35.the asking of him whom false expectation has overcome,

wa bis-mikal-a'z'eemil-lad'eee amar-ta rasoolaka ay-yusab-bih'aka bih

43.and by the majesty of Your generous face, which ages not,

wa laa yataghay-yar wa laa yah'oolu wa laa yaf-naa
44.nor changes, nor alters, nor passes away,
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد،
an tus'al-leea a'laa muh'am-madiw-wa aaali muh'am-mad
45.that You blessest Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

wa an tugh-neeanee a'n kul-li shay-im-bii'baadatik
46.that You freest me from need for all things through worshipping You,
وَأَنْ تُسَلِّيَ نَفْسِيْ عَنِ الدُّنْيَا بِمَخَافَتِكَ،
wa an tusal-leea naf-see a'nid-dunyaa bimakhaafatik
47.that You distractest my soul from this world through fear of You,
وَأَنْ تُثْنِيَنِي بِالْكَثِيْرِ مِنْ كَرَامَتِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ،
wa an tuth-neeanee bil-katheeri min karaamatika birah'-matik
48.and that You turnest me back toward Your abundant generosity through Your mercy!
فَإلَيْكَ أَفِرُّ، و مِنْكَ أَخَافُ، وَبِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ،
faalay-ka afir wa minka akhaaf wa bika as-tagheeth
49.To You I flee, You I fear, from You I seek aid,
وَإيَّاكَ أَرْجُو، وَلَكَ أَدْعُو، وَإلَيْكَ أَلْجَأُ،
wa ee-yaaka ar-joo wa laka ad-u'w wa ilay-ka al-jaa
50.in You I hope, You I supplicate, in You I seek asylum,
وَبِكَ أَثِقُ، وَإيَّاكَ أَسْتَعِينُ، وَبِكَ أُؤمِنُ،
