يا من له الحول والقوه

يا من إذا شاء أمرا كان

O You to whom belong might and strength,

O You who, when You will a thing, it comes to be,

يا من له الطول والقدره

ياربنا ياعظيم الشان

O You to whom belong bounty and power,

O our Lord, O You of great majesty,

يادائم الفضل والمعروف

وإن كثر مننا العصيان

O You ever constant in bounty and kindness,

Even though our disobedience abounds,

ياعالم الحال ياستار

ياغافر الذنب يارحمن

O Knower of our state, O Concealer of faults,

O Forgiver of sin, O All-Merciful,

نسهو ونلهو ولا تقطع

عنا عطاياك يامنان

We are heedless and amuse ourselves, yet You do not withhold

Your gifts from us, O Bountiful Giver.

نعصي فتستر ولا تظهر

سوى الجميل مدى الأزمان

We disobey, yet You conceal our faults and reveal nothing

But what is beautiful, throughout all ages.

يارب يابرياتواب

أمنن بتوبة علينا الآن

O Lord, O Beneficent, O Accepter of repentance,

Bestow repentance upon us now,

ترضى بها يا علي عنا

رضا به نبلغ الإحسان

Through which You are pleased with us, O Most High,

With approval through which we attain excellence.

فالعمر ياربنا ولي

وفات في اللهو والنسيان

For life, our Lord, has slipped away

And passed in diversion and forgetfulness—

بل في معاصي وفي أشيا

ذي فعلها يرضى الشيطان

Rather, in sins and in things

Whose doing pleases Satan.

نعوذ بالله خالقنا

نلوذ بالمفضل الحنان

We seek refuge in God, our Creator;

We seek shelter with the Benefactor, the Compassionate,

من كل شيء يبعدنا

عن ربنا كائنا ما كان

From everything that takes us far

From our Lord, whatever it may be.

ونسأل الله يصلحنا

في القلب والقول والأركان

And we ask God to set us right

In heart, speech, and limbs,

ويختم العمر بالحسنى

ويكبت الحاسد الشنان

And to end our lives in goodness,

And thwart the spiteful envier,

ويكفي الباغي الظالم

بما يشا إنه ذوالشان

And shield us from the unjust aggressor,

By whatever means He wills; His is the majesty.

فكم منع كم دفع عنا

ورد كيد العدى خسران

For how much He has averted, how much He has warded off from us,

And turned the enemies' plotting back in failure,

فضلا ومنا وإحسانا

من واسع الجود والإحسان

As bounty, favor, and kindness,

From Him whose generosity and kindness are boundless.

عودتنا ربنا زدنا

من فضلك الفائض الهتان

You have accustomed us to this, our Lord; grant us more

Of Your overflowing, ever-pouring bounty.

وهب لنا الشكر للنعما

لكي تدوم مدى الأحيان

And grant us gratitude for blessings,

So that they endure throughout all time.

واشف إلهي لنا مرضى

من كل أوجاعهم بأمان

And heal our sick, my God,

Of all their pains, in safety.

أصلح قلوبا وأجسادا

في شكر في عفوف ي غفران

Make hearts and bodies sound,

In gratitude, in pardon, in forgiveness.

واصلح الوالي أرشده

للعدل في البدوو البلدان

And set the ruler right; guide him

To justice in the desert and the towns.

سدد ووفق وأيده

بالمال والجند والخلان

Guide him aright, grant him success, and strengthen him

With wealth, soldiers, and friends,

ونصرة الشرع والمظلوم

والجبر والغوث للهفان

And with support for sacred law and the oppressed,

And relief and succor for the distressed.

ننال بالشافع المقبول

ماليس يخطر بقلب إنسان

Through the accepted intercessor we attain

What never occurs to a human heart.

صلى وسلم ذو العرش

عليه والآل والأخذان

May the Lord of the Throne send blessings and peace

Upon him, his family, and his close companions,

ماهبت الريح واهتزت

من أجلها النخل والاغصان

As long as the wind blows and there sway

Because of it the palms and branches.

والحمدلله لا نحصى

ثناه بالحد والحسبان

And praise belongs to God; we cannot reckon

His praise by measure or calculation.

لك الحمداله العالمين

على فرج أنى سنين

To You belongs praise, O God of all worlds,

For relief that came [after] years:

زوال المفسدين من تريم

بلاد الصالحين والعارفين

The removal of the corrupters from Tarim,

The land of the righteous and those who know God.

فكم قد أخربوا فيها وعاثوا

وكم قد أهلكوا دنيا ودينا

For how often they laid waste and wrought havoc there,

And how much they destroyed worldly life and faith,

وكم قد علموا أخلاق سوء

فشت في الأبعدين والأقربينا

And how often they taught evil conduct,

Which spread among those far away and those near.

وكم قد روعوا من غير جرم

أناسا صالحين وعابدينا

And how often, without any offense, they terrified

Righteous people and worshippers.

لك الحمد إلهي ماحيينا

على هذا يدوم وميتينا

To You belongs praise, my God, as long as we live,

For this—may it endure even when we are dead.

ووفقنا لشكرك مابقينا

وعبرنا على الخوف آمنينا

And enable us to thank You as long as we remain,

And carry us through fear in safety.

ولا ترنا إلهي قط سوأ

ولافى اهلنا والوالدينا

And never show us harm, my God,

Nor in our families or our parents.

وللاعمار اختمها بخير

ويوم البعث نبعث فأزينا

And bring our lives to a good end,

And on Resurrection Day may we be raised triumphant,

ببركة أحمد خير البرايا

أمام الأولين والآخرينا

Through the blessing of Ahmad, best of creation,

The leader of the first and the last.

عليه الله صلىكل حين

وسلم عد ذكر الذاكرينا

Upon him may God send blessings at every moment,

And grant peace, as often as those who remember make remembrance.

وتغشى الآل والأصحاب دأبا

وكل تابع والمسلمين

And may these blessings ever envelop his family and companions,

And every follower, and the Muslims.

ولله الكريم أجل حمد

يدوم عداد حدا الحامدين

And to God, the Generous, belongs the loftiest praise,

Enduring, as many times as those who praise chant.
