ارْحَمْ جنينيَ يا رحمان سائله

ارْحَمْ جنينيَ يا رحمان سائله

وكم رَحِمْتَ ولم تُسْأَلْ بلا عددِ

وكم رَحِمْتَ ولم تُسْأَلْ بلا عددِ

Have mercy on my unborn child, O All-Merciful to Your supplicant.

Have mercy on my fetus, O Most Merciful, I implore You

And how often You have shown mercy, unasked, beyond counting!

And how much You have had mercy without being asked, countless

هذا الظّلام سَجَا والنّاسُ قَدْ رقدوا

هذا الظّلام سَجَا والنّاسُ قَدْ رقدوا

وقد بسطتُ رجائي إذْ مَدَدْتُ يدِي

وقد بسطتُ رجائي إذْ مَدَدْتُ يدِي

This darkness has settled, and the people have already fallen asleep.

This darkness has covered and the people have fallen asleep

And I have spread out my hope as I stretched forth my hand.

And I have extended my hope when I stretched out my hand

فاجْمَعْ مُفَرَّقَ شملي بالحبيب فقد

فاجْمَعْ مُفَرَّقَ شملي بالحبيب فقد

طال المَدَى ولهيبُ الهجر في كَبِدِي

طال المَدَى ولهيبُ الهجر في كَبِدِي

So reunite my scattered self with the beloved, for

So bring together my scattered family with the beloved, for

the time has stretched long, and separation's flame burns in my liver.

The separation has been long, and the fire of estrangement is in my liver

ما خاب راجوك من قبلي فكيف أُرَى

ما خاب راجوك من قبلي فكيف أُرَى

يا فائِضَ الجُودِ من جدواك لم أَرِدِ

يا فائِضَ الجُودِ من جدواك لم أَرِدِ

Those who hoped in You before me were never disappointed; how, then, can I be seen,

None who hoped in You before me has been disappointed, so how can I be seen

O You who overflow with generosity, not having come to drink from Your bounty?

O Most Generous of generosity, I have not asked out of greed
