1. تَوسّلتُ بِالمُختار خَير البَريَّة

    شَفيع الوَرى في الحَضرة الأحدِيَّةِ

    I sought intercession through the Chosen One, the best of creation,

    the intercessor for humankind in the Presence of Divine Oneness.

  2. وَما زِلت أَدعو عالماً بِالطويَّةِ

    إِلهي بِتَقديس النُفوس الذَكيّةِ

    And I have never ceased to invoke the One who knows the heart’s secrets:

    My God, by the sanctification of discerning souls,

  3. وَتَجريدها مِن عالم البَشَريّةِ

    أَنِلني بِمحض الفَضل مِن جودِكَ الغِنى

    and their detachment from the realm of humanity,

    grant me, by sheer grace from Your bounty, independence

  4. عَن الناس يا مَن مِن مَواهِبه المُنى

    إِلهي رَماني الهَمُّ وَالغَمُّ بِالضَنى

    from people, O You whose gifts include all that is desired.

    My God, worry and grief have struck me with wasting illness.

  5. أَزِل عَن فُؤادي ما أُقاسي مِن العَنا

    فَإِنّ قَليل الصَبر عِندَ البَليّةِ

    Remove from my heart the hardship I endure,

    for I have little patience in the face of affliction.
