1. My Master, I rely on You alone,
While You are occupied with what I intend.
١. مَولايَ إِنّي عَلَيكَ مُتَّكِلُ
وَأَنتَ عَمّا أَرومُ مُشتَغِلُ
2. How can my opinion go astray when I have a King
Whose wisdom is proverbial?
٢. وَكَيفَ يُخطي رَأيي وَلي مَلِكٌ
يُضرَبُ في حُسنِ رَأيِهِ المَثَلُ
3. So aid me, for my days have let me down.
Without You, stratagems fail.
٣. فَقُم بِنَصري فَقَد تَقاعَدَ بي
دَهري وَقَد ضاقَت بَعدَكَ الحِيَلُ
4. Do not entrust my need to any man;
In each hair of mine there is a man through You.
٤. وَلا تَكِل حاجَتي إِلى رَجُلٍ
وَمِنكَ في كُلِّ شَعرَةٍ رَجُلُ
