إِنِّي سَأَلْتُكَ بِخَيْرِ مُرْسَلِ

مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ الْمُكَمَّلِ

I asked You by the virtue of the noble messenger

Indeed, I have beseeched You by the best of messengers,

Muhammad, Your perfected Prophet

Muhammad, Your perfected Prophet,

صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ يَا إِلَهَنَا الْعَلِي

وَآلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَمَنْ يَلِي

Bless him, O our Lofty God,

Bestow blessings upon him, O our Most High God,

and his family, companions, and those who follow

And upon his family, his companions, and those who follow,

وَلَمْ أُفَارِقْ حِلْيَةَ التَّذَلُّلِ

إِلاَّ خَصَصْتَنِي بِفَضْلٍ مُجْزِلِ

And I did not abandon the adornment of humility

And I have never parted with the adornment of humility,

Except You singled me out with abundant grace

Without You singling me out with abundant grace,

وَحُطْتَ عِرْضِيَ بِسِتْرٍ مُسْبَلِ

وَكُنْتَ لِي يَا مَوْئِلِي نِعْمَ الْوَلِي

And veiled my honor with a trailing cover

And You have guarded my honor with a drawn veil,

You were for me, O my refuge, the best guardian

And You have been to me, O my refuge, the finest of guardians,

فيِ مَذْهَبِي وَمَخْرَجِي وَمَدْخَلِي

وَكُلِّ مَا عَلَيَّ مِنْ أَمْرٍ وَلِي

In my creed, my fate, and my destination

In my path, my exit, and my entrance,

And all matters that have been placed in my charge

And in every matter that falls upon me.
