1. I saw your intention for guidance as shining bright,
So I hurried hopefully toward you.
١. رأى قصدكم في الهدى أبلجا
فنحوكم عن رجا عرجا
2. But I did not find the door of contentment with you
Nor generous gifts from a refuge full of hope.
٢. فلم يلق باب الرضا منكم
ولا الجود عن مرتج مرتجا
3. And I found through your virtue whenever
I gathered and came seeking protection - I was saved.
٣. وأصبح من فضلكم كلما
جنى وأتى مستجيراً نجا
4. So there is no safety except for one whom you protect
And takes refuge at your gates, drawing near.
٤. فلا أمن إلا لمن أمكم
وعاذ بأبوابكم والتجا
