1. My sight grows weary and weak in its action
Unless it is spurred by a beam from the skies
١. أرى بَصَري يَعْيا ويبطُؤُ فِعلُهُ
إذا لم يُنَفِّذْهُ شُعاعٌ سَماوِيُّ
2. So too my mind cannot accomplish its role
Unless illuminated by Godly light from on high
٢. كَذَلِكَ عَقلي ليسَ يُمكِنُ فِعلُهُ
إذا لم يفِضْ نورٌ عَلَيهِ إلهِيُّ
3. O You who quenches the thirsty with Your bounty
Help and protect us, for we have no stream but Yours
٣. فيا مَنْ يُرَوِّي الحائِمينَ بجُودِهِ
أغِثْنا وأدْرِكْنا فما عِندَنا رِيُّ
