1. يا وَليَّ الإلاهِ أنتَ جَوادٌ

    وقَصدنا الى حِماكَ المَنيعِ

    O saint of God, you are generous.

    And we have made for your impregnable sanctuary.

  2. راعَنا الدّهْرُ بالخُطوبِ فجِئْنا

    نَرْتَجي منْ عُلاكَ حُسْنَ الصّنيعِ

    Time has alarmed us with calamities, so we have come,

    Hoping for kind treatment from your eminence.

  3. فمدَدْنا لكَ الأكُفَّ نُرَجّي

    عَوْدَةَ العِزِّ تحْتَ شمْلٍ جَميعِ

    So we have stretched out our palms to you, hoping

    For glory's return within a united fold.

  4. قد جعَلْنا وسيلَةً تُرْبَكَ الزّا

    كِي زُلْفى إلى العَليمِ السّميعِ

    Indeed, we have made your pure dust a means

    Of drawing near to the All-Knowing, the All-Hearing.

  5. كمْ غَريبٍ أسْرَى إليْكَ فَوافَى

    برِضىً عاجِلٍ وخَيْرٍ سَريعِ

    How many a stranger has journeyed to you by night and arrived

    With immediate contentment and swift good fortune.
