يا من علا فرأى ما في القلوب وما
تحت الثرى وظلام الليل مندلُ
O You, exalted on high, who see what dwells within hearts and what lies
beneath the earth, while night’s darkness steals onward;
أنتَ المغيثُ لمن ضاقَت مذاهبهُ
أنتَ الدليلُ لمن ضاقَت به الحيلُ
You are the rescuer of those whose avenues have narrowed;
You are the guide of those whose every recourse has failed them.
إنّا قصدناك والآمالُ واثقةٌ
والكلُّ يدعوك ملهوف ومبتهِلُ
We have turned to You, our hopes full of confidence,
and everyone calls upon You, distressed and beseeching.
فإن غفَرت فَذو فضلٍ وذو كرَمٍ
وإن سطَرتَ فأنتَ الحاكم العادِلُ
If You forgive, Yours are grace and generosity;
and if You record our sins, You are the just Judge.
Sol 5.6
