1. الهيَ يا رحمن ضاق بيَ الفضا

    وعزني الملجا وذل مقاميا

    My God, O All-Merciful, the wide expanse has narrowed around me.

    And refuge eludes me, and my station is abased.

  2. وأنت وسعت الكل علماً ورحمة

    وربيت بالرحمى الخليقة كافيا

    And You encompass all in knowledge and mercy.

    And You have nurtured creation with compassion, providing for it.

  3. برحمتك العظمى تمسكت ضارعاً

    أغوث ملهوفاً وأهتف عانيا

    I cling to Your supreme mercy, humbly pleading.

    I cry for help in anguish and call out in humble submission.

  4. وبي شدة يا أرحم الراحمين ما

    يقوم لها صبري تصب الدواهيا

    And I suffer hardship, O most merciful of the merciful, which

    my patience cannot withstand; calamities pour down.

  5. فصب على ضعفي شآبيب رحمة

    فقد غادرت أقوى التجلد واهيا

    So pour showers of mercy upon my weakness,

    for they have left the strongest fortitude feeble.

  6. الهي تداركني بحرمتك التي اس

    تقامت بها الأكوان بدءاً وتاليا

    My God, come to my rescue by Your sanctity, through which

    the worlds have stood firm, from the beginning onward.

  7. أغثني بما نجيت ذا النون بعد إذ

    تعمق في أحشائه البحر ثاويا

    Help me with that by which You saved Dhu al-Nun, after he

    had sunk deep, dwelling in the entrails of the sea.

  8. أغشني يا رحمن بالرحمة التي

    رحمت بها أيوب في الضر باليا

    Envelop me, O All-Merciful, in the mercy with which

    You had mercy on Ayyub, worn down by affliction.

  9. حنانيك يا رحمن عطفاً ورحمة

    فغير خفي عنك سوء مكانيا

    Your compassion, again and again, O All-Merciful—kindness and mercy!

    For my wretched condition is not hidden from You.

  10. بما ترحم الطفل الصغير وترحم ال

    بهائم أدرك ذلتي وافتقاريا

    By the mercy You show the little child, and the mercy You show the

    beasts, come to my aid in my abasement and need.

  11. بما ترحم الأملاك في رهبوتها

    وتسبيحها ارحم لهفتي وابتهاليا

    By the mercy You show the angels in their awe

    and their glorification, have mercy on my anguish and supplication.
