إلى كرم اللّه الكريم وجوده
أوجه آمالي وأوفد رغبتي
To the generosity and bounty of God, the All-Generous,
I direct my hopes and send forth my longing.
بباب الكريم الأكرم المكرم الذي
له مطلق الاكرام أنزلت بغيتي
At the door of the Generous, the Most Generous, the Bestower of honor, who
possesses boundless generosity, I have laid down my plea;
بباب كريم الذات قدراً ورفعة
كريم الصفات الطاهرات الزكية
at the door of One noble in essence, in dignity and exalted rank,
noble in His pure and immaculate attributes;
بباب كريم العفو عن أي مذنب
بباب كريم الجود قبل الوسيلة
at the door of One generous in forgiving every sinner;
at the door of One whose generosity precedes all intercession;
بباب الكريم المطلق النفع والجدا
بباب الكريم المبتدي بالعطية
at the door of the Generous, whose benefit and bounty are unbounded;
at the door of the Generous, who initiates the giving;
بباب الكريم المجزل الفيض والعطا
بدون سؤال العبد من غير منة
at the door of the Generous, who pours forth grace and gifts abundantly,
without His servant's asking and without reproach;
بباب كريم لم يقنط عصيه
بباب كريم لا يبالي بنعمة
at the door of One so generous that He never drives His disobedient servant to despair;
at the door of One so generous that He does not begrudge a blessing;
بباب كريم لم يضع متوسلاً
ولا لاجياً سبحانه بمضيعة
at the door of One so generous that He never abandons a supplicant,
nor leaves one who seeks refuge—glory be to Him—to be lost;
بباب كريم الفعل من غير حاجة
بباب كريم جابر كل خلة
at the door of One generous in action, though He has no need;
at the door of One generous, who remedies every want.
ببابك يا من بابه وجهة الرجا
وإن قبحت بيني وبينك سيرتي
I stand at Your door, O You whose door is the hope-seeker's destination,
though my conduct between You and me has been shameful.
فاكرم مقامي بالذي أنت أهله
وما أنت أهل يا كريم لخيبتي
So honor my standing here as befits You,
for You, O Generous One, are not one to disappoint me.
