1. The afflictions overwhelmed me, O Sustainer, and my state
Is known to You, my God, in knowledge and ability

2. And I have no power, O Sustainer, to repel them
Nor a defender below me who can come to my aid

3. The bow of destiny has cast them upon me and affirmed
And I have cast You, my God, as my sure shot

4. Your mercy fulfills whatever You wish, so resolve them
O God, by Your power, wherever they have settled

5. For me there is a way out through Your kindness, dispel them
And if my soul frets for it and feels distress

6. A destined decree led by Your Lord's destiny
And Your command, my Lord, is above that which is led

7. And how many tribulations, whose bitterness I have tasted
Your kindness has resolved upon them and they have vanished

8. My God, I have a soul and body, both
Obtain from You, O Sustainer of creation, their sustenance

9. So facilitate for my soul its sustenance as the best wisdom
And facilitate for my body its sustenance as the best livelihood

10. For there is no atom but You are its Sustainer
Granting it sufficiency, all for a reason and wisdom
