يا رَبِّ أَرجوكَ لا سِواكَ

وَلَم يَخِب سَعيُ مَن رَجاكا

O Lord, I implore You—none but You;

Never has the striving of one who hopes in You come to nothing.

أَنتَ الَّذي لَم تَزَل خَفِيّاً

لا تَبلُغُ الأَوهامَ مُنتَهاكا

You are the One who has never ceased to be hidden;

The mind’s imaginings cannot reach Your utmost bound.

إِن أَنتَ لَم تَهدِنا ضَلَلنا

يا رَبِّ إِنَّ الهُدى هُداكا

If You do not guide us, we shall go astray.

O Lord, surely all guidance is Your guidance.

أَحَطتَ عِلماً بِنا جَميعاً

أَنتَ تَرانا وَلا نَراكا

You encompass us all in Your knowledge;

You see us, while we do not see You.
