يا سيِّداً يهَبُ الأقدارَ مُقْتَدراً

كما غدا يهَبُ الأموالَ والنِّعما

O Lord who grants destinies, All-Powerful,

Just as you grant wealth and blessings,

هَبْ لي مِنَ القدْرِ ما ألقى العَدُوَّ بهِ

مُكَذِّباً كُلَّ ما سدَّى وما زعما

Grant me from fate what the enemy attributed to me,

Denying all that he piled up and claimed.

أرْغِمْهُ فيَّ فقد أضحى يُراغِمُني

وزِدْهُ رغماً على رغم إذا رغَما

Make him submit to me, for he has made me submit to him,

And increase his submission, if he has caused submission.

ولستُ مستوجباً حظاً أُنَفَّلُهُ

من الكرامةِ لكنْ هَبْهُ لي كرما

And I do not deserve a fortune that you bestow upon me

Out of generosity, but grant it to me generously.

يا مَنْ رأى قدْرَهُ يعلو مواهِبَهُ

فليس مُسْتَعْظِماً شيئاً وإنْ عَظُما

O You who saw that his destiny surpassed his talents,

So nothing is too great, even if it is great.
