سَقى الغَيث قَبراً حلّه مِن ذَوي الهُدى

سَقى الغَيث قَبراً حلّه مِن ذَوي الهُدى

إِمام بِأَمر اللَه قَد كانَ قائِما

إِمام بِأَمر اللَه قَد كانَ قائِما

May rain water a grave in which one of the rightly guided rests—

The rain watered a grave, made pure by guidance's folk,

An imam who had stood firm in fulfilling God's command.

An imam by Allah's command, who had stood steadfast,

جَنى مِن ثِمار الفَضل وَالعلم ما حَلا

جَنى مِن ثِمار الفَضل وَالعلم ما حَلا

وَقَد كانَ عَمّا في يَد الناس صائِما

وَقَد كانَ عَمّا في يَد الناس صائِما

He reaped the sweet fruits of virtue and knowledge,

He had reaped fruits of nobility and knowledge bountiful,

And he fasted from what lay in people's hands.

And had fasted from what was in people's hands,

فَجد يا إِلهي وَاِعفُ وَاِسمح تَكرّما

فَجد يا إِلهي وَاِعفُ وَاِسمح تَكرّما

وَكُن يا رَحيم الخَلق عَبدَكَ راحِما

وَكُن يا رَحيم الخَلق عَبدَكَ راحِما

So be generous, O my God, and pardon and show indulgence out of kindness.

So forgive, my God, and pardon, be generous,

And be merciful to Your servant, O You who are merciful to creation.

And be, O Merciful to creation, merciful to Your servant.
