1. O You whose praise
Made time roar angrily,

2. Be my savior from its anger!
O You who is remembered to unravel

3. The knots of calamities and adversities,
Your sinful servant complained,

4. Extending the submission, hopeful,
And called upon You openly crying.

5. O You to whom the distressed complain,
And to whom the affairs of all creation return,

6. His tears flowed profusely,
Flowing with the tears of life.

7. To You, he has come newly pleading,
O Ever-living, O Self-subsisting, O Absolute,

8. Exalted above any opponent.
To You with crimes and mistakes,

9. He has come quickly erring.
You are too gracious to be stingy with gifts.

10. You are the Honorer of those who obeyed You,
And the Humiliator of every obstinate denier.

11. So have mercy upon a despicable sinner
Who has known worries since youth,

12. And who wakes inflamed by them.
You are the Overseer of servants,

13. And You are One in the Kingdom,
When will I find rest and recover

14. From burning anxiety and melancholy?
Woe to me! Help my endurance.

15. You are above creation, without child or parent.
The ropes of my patience frayed

16. Since my melancholy took root in my heart.
Who can I have to redeem my covenant?

17. You are the Facilitator, Transformer and Helper.
My confusion increased in life,

18. With sorrow and regret,
And my tears flowed freely,

19. So provide us relief, O my God, and do not distance Yourself!
O Lord, Your servant is a Muslim,

20. And to You all matters are surrendered.
O You who is generous and merciful,

21. I called upon You while worries
Besieged my heart and hounded it.

22. Alas! My scatterings increased,
And separation burned my innermost being.

23. With You I cried out in my affliction,
So relieve my misery through Your might,

24. O You of excellent traits!
You are the Responder to those who call You,

25. The distressed heart is healed,
Humbly I came to You hastening,

26. Reveal to us Your subtle kindness,
With which You treat the defiant times.

27. The branch of patience has withered,
And worries devour my heart,

28. While I am the sorrowful depressed one.
Be my Compassionate One, for I have despaired

29. Of relatives and strangers.
And forgive a sinful servant,

30. Whose anxious heart is tormented,
And be gentle with me, my Master.

31. Then send blessings upon the Prophet
And his Family as long as one bows in prostration.
