يَا أَبَا يَعْزَى يَا عَزِيزَ الصِّفَاتِ
فَلْتُفِدْنِي مِنْ أَنْفَحِ النَّفَحَاتِ
O Abu Ya'za, O virtuous one
O Abu Ya'za, O you of noble attributes,
Grant me the scent of your pure breath
Grant me the benefit of the most fragrant spiritual breezes,
وَلْتُجِرْنِي مِنَ الشِّفَاءِ فَذَنْبِي
قَدْ رَمَانيِ مِنْ ذَاكَ في الدَّرَكَاتِ
And heal me, for my sins
And grant me refuge from misery, for my sin
Have cast me into perdition
Has cast me thereby into the lowest abysses,
وَلْتُحِطْنِي مِنَ الْخَنَى وَبَنِيهِ
بِالذِي حُزْتَهُ منَ الْبَرَكاتِ
Relieve me of sorrow and its progeny
And protect me from wickedness and its sons,
With the blessings you have been granted
By virtue of the blessings that you have attained,
وَاشْفَعَنْ أَسَيِّدِي لِرَسُولِ ال
لَّهِ شَمْسِ الرّشَادِ عَيْنِ النَّجَاةِ
And intercede, my master, with the Messenger of God
And intercede, O my master, with the Messenger of
The sun of guidance, the eye of salvation
Allah, the sun of guidance, the wellspring of salvation.
فَعَلَيْهِ الصَّلاَةُ مَا فَاحَ نَوْرٌ
وحَبَا الرَّوْضُ أَعْطَرَ النَّسَمَاتِ
Upon him be blessings whenever the light shines
Upon him be blessings as long as blossoms exhale their fragrance,
And the meadows exude the sweetest fragrances
And the garden bestows the sweetest of breezes.
إِنَّنِي قَدْ سَلَكْتُ سُبْلَ الطُّغَاةِ
بِارْتِفَاعِي عَلَى ذُرَى شَهَوَاتِي
I have walked the paths of tyrants
Indeed, I have walked the paths of the transgressors,
Raised high on the peaks of my desires
By mounting the peaks of my base desires.
