يا قائماً بالحقِّ حلَّ بنا

يا قائماً بالحقِّ حلَّ بنا

ما لا يفرِّجه سِوى لطفك

ما لا يفرِّجه سِوى لطفك

O upholder of truth, there has befallen us

O you who stand for truth, a plight has befallen us

What nothing but your kindness can dispel.

That only your kindness can relieve

بكَ عنه لُذنا حيثُ لا شَرفٌ

بكَ عنه لُذنا حيثُ لا شَرفٌ

عند الإِلهِ أجلُّ من شرفك

عند الإِلهِ أجلُّ من شرفك

In you we sought refuge from it, for no honor

With you we found solace when there was no honor

Before God is more exalted than yours.

For with God, your honor is most high

ترضى تعودُ نفوسُنا سَلباً

ترضى تعودُ نفوسُنا سَلباً

بيدِ الحمام ونحن في كَنفك

بيدِ الحمام ونحن في كَنفك

Would you consent to our souls becoming spoils

You are content that our souls remain safe

In death's hand, while we are under your protection,

In the hands of the doves, under your protection

ويروعُنا ريبُ المنونِ وقد

ويروعُنا ريبُ المنونِ وقد

عذنا بجاهِ الغرّ من سلفك

عذنا بجاهِ الغرّ من سلفك

And to the calamities of fate terrifying us, though

And death's uncertainty terrifies us, though

We have sought refuge in the standing of your illustrious forebears?

Your grace saved us from past adversity
