walaw annahum idh zalamu anfusahum

“And had they, when they were unjust to themselves,

جَاؤُوكَ فَٱسْتَغْفَرُوٱ ٱللَّهَ

ja'uka fastaghfaru allaha

come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah

وَٱسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ

and the Messenger had (also) asked forgiveness for them,

لَوَجَدُوٱ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً.»

lawajadu allaha tawwaban rahiman

they would have found Allah Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful.”

O Allah, I have visited him desiring, repenting from my ill deeds,

وَمُسْتَغْفِراً لَكَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي

صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ

salawatuka `alayhi wa alihi

may Your blessings be upon him and his Household.
