1. O Lord, I have none but You as refuge
In Your protection I seek shade
١. يَا رَبِّ مَا لِي سِوَاكَ
مِنْ مَلْجَأٍ، فِي حِمَاكَ
2. My sins have exhausted me
And brought me ruin
٢. قَدْ أَرْهَقَتْنِي ذُنُوبِي
وَأَوْرَدَتْنِي الْهَلاكَ
3. My worries made me heavy
And I found no escape
٣. فَأَثْقَلَتْنِي هُمُومِي
فَلَمْ أَجِدْ لِي فِكَاكَ
4. Until I fell into an abyss
And hoped for Your help
٤. حَتَّى هَوَيْتُ بِجُبٍّ
وَصِرتُ أَرْجُو سَنَاكَ
5. I became alive like a dead one
Hoping for my heart to stir
٥. فَصِرْتُ حَيًّا كَمَيْتٍ
يَرْجُو لِقَلْبٍ حَرَاكَ
6. My pleading and beseeching
With the tears of one who disobeyed You
٦. تَضَرُّعِي وَابْتِهَالِي
بِدَمْعِ عَاصٍ جَفَاكَ
7. And I started calling and hoping
Awaiting Your mercy
٧. وَصِرْتُ أَدْعُو وَأَرْجُو
مُؤَمِّلاً رُحْمَاكَ
8. So have mercy on a weak confessor
Who came to You with his sin
٨. فَارْحَمْ ضَعِيفًا مُقِرًّا
بِذَنْبِهِ قَدْ أَتَاكَ
9. My devotion and my prayers
I call and hope for Your pleasure
٩. تَبَتُّلِي وَصَلاتِي
أَدْعُو وَأَرْجُو رِضَاكَ
10. Forgive my sins and grant me
In all my affairs Your guidance
١٠. فَاغْفِرْ ذُنُوبِي وَهَبْنِي
فِي كُلِّ أَمْرِي هُدَاكَ
11. And be my helper so I can become
A servant as if I see You
١١. وَكُنْ مُعِينِي لأَغْدُو
عَبْدًا كَأَنِّي أَرَاكَ
12. Perhaps I will meet Your face
For meeting You is the greatest prize
١٢. لَعَلَّ وَجْهَكَ أَلْقَى
فَالْفَوْزُ نَيْلُ رُؤَاكَ
13. Oh, the joy and glad tidings
For a servant who loved to meet You
١٣. فَيَا لَسُعْدَى وَبُشْرَى
عَبْدٍ أَحَبَّ لِقَاكَ
14. O Lord, I hope for Your promise
Respond to one who called upon You
١٤. يَا رَبِّ وَعْدَكَ أَرْجُو
دَاعٍ، أَجِبْ مَنْ دَعَاكَ
