الهي لا موجود غيرك لم يكن

بقهرك يا قهار والجبرية

O God, there is no existence except You. There was not,

By Your subjugation, O All-Powerful, and Predestination.

الهي قهرت الممكنات فكلها

بقهرك في عجز وفقر وذلة

O God, You have subjugated all possibilities, so they are all

By Your subjugation, in incapacity, poverty, and humiliation.

فما ساكن في الكون أو متحرك

بمعتصم من قهر ربي بمنعة

So nothing in the universe, still or moving,

Has a protector from the subjugation of my Lord with immunity.

قصمت ظهور المعتدين بما طغوا

فما رد بأس القهر منك بعزة

You have broken the backs of the aggressors with their tyranny,

So the might of Your subjugation did not turn back anyone with dignity.

الهي جلال القهر في كنه ذاته

علا عن رسوم القهر والنظرية

O God, the majesty of subjugation in its essence

Transcends the methods of subjugation and theory.

الهي جلال القهر ليس بواهن

وإن أمهل القهار مكراً لبرهة

O God, the majesty of subjugation is not weak,

Even if the All-Powerful delays cunningly for a while.

الهي طغت فوق العباد عصائب

فعمت سيول الظلم منها وطمت

O God, the arrogant have transgressed over the servants,

So the floods of injustice have spread from them and roared.

طغام طغاة تبَّروا ما علوا ولا

نصير سوى القهار فوق البرية

Arrogant tyrants who rebelled, exalted not, and no

helper but the All-Powerful above the wilderness.

وما غاية المقهور في جبروته

سوى بطشة القهارب الخليقة

And the aim of the oppressed in His omnipotence

Is only the grip of the All-Powerful on creation.

الهي تداركهم بقهر ذواتهم

وعدتهم والعد والمددية

O God, save them from the subjugation of their souls

And their cronies and supplies and reinforcements.

الهي ومن حاباهم وأعانهم

وداهنم بغيا لأجل البغية

O God, and whoever supported and aided them

And flattered them for the sake of injustice.
