الهي مذل الكافرين بكفرهم

بعلمك فعل الكفر في القدمية

My God, Abaser of the unbelievers for their unbelief,

With Your knowledge of the deed of unbelief from eternity.

الهي مذل الماردين وإن جروا

إلى أمد ما لم يفروا لمنعة

My God, Abaser of the rebellious, even if they run on

For a time, they have not escaped to safety.

أحاط بهم سلطان قهر وعزة

فهم وغن اعتزوا غروراً بذلة

The dominion of subjugation and might surrounds them;

So they remain abased, even if they glory in delusion.

الهي ما أذلت نفساً بمثل ما

تعالت بدعوى حظ قدر وعزة

My God, nothing has abased a soul so much as

Its self-exaltation, claiming a share of rank and might.

وكيف صعود النفس عن مستقرها

ومن حيث ظنت نالت العز ذلت

And how can the soul rise above its station?

And where it thought it had attained honor, it was abased.

الهي تعدى خصمك الحد واعتدى

على حرمات اللّه بالأغلبية

My God, Your adversary has overstepped the limit and transgressed

Against God's sanctities through superior force.

وعلمك بالأعداء ربي مسيطر

وغيرتك اللهم أعظم غيرة

And Your knowledge of the enemies, my Lord, holds sway;

And Your jealous zeal, O God, is the greatest zeal.

وما عزة الطاغي وإن جد جدها

بصائرة إلا لخزي وذلة

And the tyrant's might, though its vigor intensifies,

Will end in nothing but disgrace and abasement.

فارسل عليه يا مذل قواصف ال

نكير وسربله سرابيل لعنة

So send upon him, O Abaser, the shattering blasts of

Retribution, and clothe him in garments of a curse.

وصب عليه الذل قلباً وقالباً

وفي جاهه والمال والتبعية

And pour abasement upon him, in heart and body,

And in his prestige, wealth, and following—

مصائب ذل يختبطن حياته

ويحطمنه حطم الدريس المفتت

Calamities of abasement that batter his life

And crush him as dry, crumbled hay is crushed.
