I sought help from God with a hopeful supplication

أمعتضدا بالله دعوة آمل

1. I sought help from God with a hopeful supplication
I prayed to you from afar and so became nearby

١. أمعتَضِداً بِاللَه دَعوَةَ آمِلٍ
رَجاكَ عَلى بُعدِ فَأَصبَح ذا قُربِ

2. He fulfilled what was hoped for and guided the lost
His wishes descended on a sweet flowing spring

٢. فَأمَّمَ مأمولاً وَأَمَّ مُيَمَّماً
وَحامَت أَمانيهِ عَل مَورِد عَذبِ

3. The springs did not disappoint whenever he visited
Nor did they offer him anything but the sweetest drink

٣. مَوارِدُ ما حَلّأنَ عنهن حائما
وَلا غادَرتهُ غَير مُستَعذِب الشِربِ

4. And my destiny depends on your vines, that is enough
I have attained what I have wished for since I began hoping

٤. وَها أَنا ظَمآنٌ لمنهل وردكم
وَحَسبيَ مَوقوفٌ عَلى وردكم حَسبي

5. And took residence in the most spacious mansion
I journeyed tirelessly as if

٥. أَفُز بِالَّذي أَمَّلتُ مُذ كُنتُ آمِلاً
وَتَحتَلّ مِن عَلياهُ في المَنزِل الرَحبِ

6. I was atop the highest peaks due to my persistence
I found the highest ranked and most generous of men

٦. فَجِئتُ أُغِذُّ السَيرَ حَتّى كَأَنَّني
لإفراط إِغذاذي عَلى أَظهُرِ النُجبِ

7. Whose soul truthfully ransoms him, no lies
He eagerly rushes to aid those who seek him

٧. فَألفَيتُ أَعلى الناسِ قَدراً وَسُؤدُداً
وَعَدلاً فدَتهُ النَفسُ صدقاً بِلا كَذبِ

8. And trembles to do good like one shaking with rage
For turning to me and me to you I am thankful

٨. يَهشُّ إِلى راجيهِ كالوامِقِ الصَبِّ
وَيَهتَزُّ لِلمَعروفِ كالصارِمِ العَضبِ

9. He who thanks blessings attains the satisfaction of the Lord

٩. وَإِنّي لِما تُولي وَأَولَيتَ شاكِرٌ
فَمَن شَكَرَ النعماءَ نالَ رِضا الرَبِّ
