ولما ضقت من مرضى وسقمى

ولما ضقت من مرضى وسقمى

وأدركني من العي العناء

وأدركني من العي العناء

And when I grew distressed by my illness and sickness,

When illness overwhelmed me,

and suffering from weakness overtook me,

And exhaustion overtook me,

لجأت إلى رسول الله طه

لجأت إلى رسول الله طه

رحيم القلب في يده الشفاء

رحيم القلب في يده الشفاء

I sought refuge with God's Messenger, Taha,

I sought refuge with the Messenger of Allah, Taha,

merciful of heart, in whose hand lies healing.

Merciful of heart, in his hand lies healing.

فراح براحتيه السقم عني

فراح براحتيه السقم عني

وولى الداء مذ جاء الدواء

وولى الداء مذ جاء الدواء

So sickness left me through his two palms,

My sickness left me at his gentle touch,

and disease fled when the remedy came.

And my illness receded when the cure arrived,

فمن يمناه يمن واتهاجد

فمن يمناه يمن واتهاجد

ومن يسراه يسر واعتلاء

ومن يسراه يسر واعتلاء

So from his right hand come blessing and [an unclear word],

So whoever gains his favor gains success,

and from his left, ease and exaltation.

And whoever earns his grace attains elevation.

رسول الله حاشى بعد هذا

رسول الله حاشى بعد هذا

بى الأمراض تنزل أو اساء

بى الأمراض تنزل أو اساء

O Messenger of God, far be it, after this,

O Messenger of Allah, may afflictions after this,

that illnesses should befall me, or I should be harmed.

Neither descend upon me nor bring harm.

وحاشى أن أقول لضيق حال

وحاشى أن أقول لضيق حال

رسول الله ضاق بي القضاء

رسول الله ضاق بي القضاء

And far be it that, because of straitened circumstances, I should say,

And forbid that I should say in my distress,

"O Messenger of God, fate has closed in on me."

O Messenger of Allah, fate has constricted me.

فمن جدواك يرجى كل خير

فمن جدواك يرجى كل خير

ومن نعماك قد فاض العطاء

ومن نعماك قد فاض العطاء

For all good is hoped for from your bounty,

For whoever relies on you hopes for all good,

and from your favor, generosity has overflowed.

And whoever enjoys your blessings, generosity overflows.

أجرني يا رسول الله إني

أجرني يا رسول الله إني

وفيٌّ والوفيّ له الوفاء

وفيٌّ والوفيّ له الوفاء

Grant me refuge, O Messenger of God, for I am

Reward me, O Messenger of Allah, for I am faithful,

loyal, and loyalty is due to the loyal.

And the faithful deserves loyalty.

وأدركني وأبنائي وأهلى

وأدركني وأبنائي وأهلى

بنظرتك التي فيها الهناء

بنظرتك التي فيها الهناء

And rescue me, my children, and my family

And reach me and my children and family,

with your gaze, in which lies happiness.

With your gaze in which lies delight.

وكن لي بالرعاية خير جاه

وكن لي بالرعاية خير جاه

إذا الأعداء أيقظهم عداء

إذا الأعداء أيقظهم عداء

And through your care, be my best patron

And be for me, in your protection, the best refuge,

when hostility rouses the enemies.

When enemies rouse them to enmity.

فإن تنظر فكل الناس عندى

فإن تنظر فكل الناس عندى

عدا الهادي وعترته هباء

عدا الهادي وعترته هباء

For if you look upon me, all people, in my eyes,

For if you look, all people to me,

except the Guide and his kindred, are dust.

Apart from the Guide and his family, are insignificance.

وإن تعطف فإن الحال حال

وإن تعطف فإن الحال حال

وعيشى لا يفارقه الصفاء

وعيشى لا يفارقه الصفاء

And if you show compassion, my condition is transformed,

And if you show tenderness, then my state is a state,

and serenity never leaves my life.

And my life will not part from serenity.

فأنت البر في جود وبر

فأنت البر في جود وبر

وبحر منك تغترف الدلاء

وبحر منك تغترف الدلاء

For you are the benevolent one in generosity and goodness,

For you are righteousness in generosity and righteousness,

and a sea from which the buckets draw,

An ocean from which the thirsty draw water.

وجاه المرتجى إن جار دهر

وجاه المرتجى إن جار دهر

وجار المستجير بك الرجاء

وجار المستجير بك الرجاء

and the patron of the hopeful if time deals unjustly,

And the refuge of one who hopes, if fate is unkind,

and the refuge-seeker's protector—in you lies hope.

And the refuge of one who seeks protection in you is hope.

عليك الله صلى ما تجلت

عليك الله صلى ما تجلت

نجوم الليل أو لاح الضياء

نجوم الليل أو لاح الضياء

May God send blessings upon you as long as there shine forth

May Allah send blessings upon you whenever

the stars of night, or the light gleams,

The stars of night shine or the daylight gleams,

وعترته ومن نصروا وآووا

وعترته ومن نصروا وآووا

وصحب ما لفضلهم انتهاء

وصحب ما لفضلهم انتهاء

and upon his kindred and those who gave support and shelter,

And on your family and those who supported and sheltered,

and the companions, whose merit has no end.

And accompanied, for their excellence has no end.
