أرجو من الرحمن سبحانه

مواهبا تترى وإحسانه

From the All-Merciful—glory be to Him—I hope

for gifts in unbroken succession, and for His beneficence:

والجود والبر وافضاله

وعفوه الشامل وغفرانه

for generosity, righteousness, and virtues;

for His all-embracing pardon and His forgiveness;

واللطف والعطف مع منه

وقربه الأسنى ورضوانه

for graciousness and compassion from Him;

for His most sublime nearness and His good pleasure;

والود والحب الذي من حظى

منه بشيء في الورى زانه

and affection and love—whoever is granted

some share of it is thereby adorned among creation.

يارب يامولاي ياخالقي

أذهب عن القلب الذي رانه

O Lord, O my Master, O my Creator,

remove from the heart what has encrusted it.

ياساتر العيب على من أسى

وكاشفا للعبد أشجانه

O You who veil the fault of one who has done wrong,

and O You who dispel the servant’s sorrows,

أتيت بالأوزار زائر إلى

البيت الذي عظمت أركانه

I have come bearing sins, a visitor to

the House whose pillars are exalted.

هديتي فقري وذلي لكم

فاعطف على من شأنه شانه

My offering to you all is my poverty and abasement;

so show compassion to one whose own condition has disgraced him.

وامنن على عبدك يفوز المنى

ولاتدنه بالذي دانه

Bestow grace upon Your servant, that he may win his hopes,

and do not condemn him for what has condemned him.

وصل يارب وسلم على

طه الذي أرجحت ميزانه

And bless, O Lord, and grant peace upon

Taha, whose scale You have made weighty,

والآل والصحب نجوم الهدى

من أظهر واللدين وبرهانه

and upon the Family and Companions—the stars of guidance—

of him who made the faith and its proof manifest.
