1. I asked my Lord, the Lord of all people
With pleading, and to Him words rise
١. سألتُ ربي ورب الناس كلِّهُمُ
تَضرُّعاً واليه يصعدُ الكَلمُ
2. That He may turn harm away from the enduring beloved
The virtuous, with Him bounties are sweet
٢. أن يصرف السوء عن حوباءِ محتمل
أوْقَ المكارمِ تحلو عندهُ النِّعمُ
3. And that He may protect Bahauddin from adversity
That makes the eminent and glory and generosity falter
٣. وأنْ يُعيذَ بهاء الدين من وصبٍ
يعتلُّ منه العُلى والمجدُ والكرمُ
4. He flees from his neighbor in every calamity
And his guest, oppression and nonexistence are killers
٤. يفِرُّ عن جاره في كل نازلةٍ
وضيْفهِ القاتلانِ الجورُوالعدمُ
5. The home of virtues, no disgrace entered its yard
As long as the dawn and darkness continued
٥. بيتُ المناقبِ لا حلَّتْ بساحتهِ
كريهةٌ ما استمرَّ الصبُّح والظلَم
