إِلَهِي إِنْ كَانَتْ فِعَالِيَ لاَ تُرْضِي

فَحِلْمُكَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ بِالْعَفْوِ قَدْ يَقْضِي

My God, if my deeds do not please You,

My God, if my deeds fail to please You,

Then Your forbearance, my Master, may decree forgiveness.

Then Your forbearance, O my Lord, may decree my pardon.

لَكَ الْخَيْرُ كُلَّ الْخَيْرِ أَنْتَ مُنْيلُهُ

وَلاَ خَيْرَ إِلاَّ مَا لِعَفْوِكَ قَدْ يُفْضِي

All good belongs to You, You are its source,

To You belongs all goodness, You are its true bestower,

And no good except through Your pardon can flow.

And there is no good save that which leads to Your forgiveness.

إِلَهِي أَعْتَقْتَ الْمَسَاجِدَ مِنَّةً

مِنَ النَّارِ وَهْيَ الْبَعْضُ مِنْ مُلْكِكَ الْمَحْضِ

My God, You have granted the mosques immunity

My God, out of grace You have freed the limbs of prostration

From the fire, though they are but some of Your sole domain.

From the Fire, though they are but a part of Your absolute dominion,

وَفِيمَا بِهِ أَرْسَلْتَ أَكْرَمَ مُرْسَلٍ

يُنَجَّزُ عِتْقُ الْكُلِّ مِنْ مُعْتِقِ الْبَعْضِ

And by the one You sent as the most noble emissary

And by the message You sent with the noblest of messengers,

The freeing of all is fulfilled by the Liberator of some.

The deliverance of the whole is fulfilled by the Deliverer of the part.
