Source (Arabic)
أَرَدْتَهُ مُرَادِيْ وَما أَحْبَبْتَهُ مَحْبُوبِيْ، أَيْ رَبِّ أَنَا العَاصِي وَأَنْتَ الغَافِرُ لَمَّا عَرَفْتُكَ سَرُعْتُ إِلى سَاحَةِ عِزِّ عِنايَتِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ فَاغْفِرْ لِي جَرِيرَاتِي الَّتِيْ مَنَعَتْنِي عَنِ ا
Translation
I am a sinner, O my Lord, and Thou art the Ever-Forgiving. As soon as I recognized Thee, I hastened to attain the exalted court of Thy loving-kindness. Forgive me, O my Lord, my sins which have hindered me from walking in the ways of Thy good-pleasure, and from attaining the shores of the ocean of Thy oneness.
