لَكَ الحَمدُ يا ذا الجودِ والمَجدِ وَالعُلا
تَبارَكتَ تُعطي مَن تَشاءَ وَتَمنَعُ
Praise be to You, O Possessor of generosity, glory, and eminence; Blessed are You, giving to whom You please and withholding.
My God, my Creator, my Sanctuary, and my Refuge; to You I flee in times of hardship and of ease.
إِلَهي وَخَلّاقي وَحِرزي وَمَوئِلي
إِلَيكَ لَدى الإِعسارِ وَاليُسرِ أَفزَعُ
My God, though my sins be great and accumulated, Your pardon for my transgression is greater and more vast.
My God, though I have granted my soul its desires, here I am, grazing in the pastures of regret.
إِلَهي لَئِن جُلتُ وَجَمَّت خَطيئَتي
فَعَفوُكَ عَن ذَنبي أَجَلُّ وَأَوسَعُ
My God, You see my state, my poverty, and my destitution, and You hear my hidden supplications.
My God, do not sever my hope nor let my heart go astray, for I covet the abundance of Your generosity.
إِلَهي لَئِن أَعطَيتَ نَفسي سُؤلُها
فَها أَنا في أَرضِ النَدامَةِ أَرتَعُ
My God, if You disappoint me or cast me away, then in whom shall I hope, and who will intercede for me?
My God, grant me refuge from Your punishment, for I am a captive, abased and fearful, submitting unto You.
إِلَهي تَرى حالي وَفَقري وَفاقَتي
وَأَنتَ مُناجاتي الخَفيَّةِ تَسمَعُ
My God, comfort me by teaching me my plea, when the grave becomes my dwelling and my resting place.
My God, were You to punish me for a thousand years, the rope of my hope in You would never sever.
إِلَهي فَلا تَقطَع رَجائي وَلا تُزِغ
فُؤادي فَلي في سَيبِ جُودِكَ مَطمَعُ
My God, let me taste the sweetness of Your pardon on the Day when neither wealth nor children shall avail.
My God, if You do not watch over me, I am lost; but if You tend to me, I shall never go astray.
إِلَهي لِئَن خَيَّبتَني أَو طَرَدتَني
فَمَن ذا الَّذي أَرجو وَمَن لي يَشفَعُ
My God, if You pardon none but the virtuous, to whom shall the sinner, indulging in desire, turn?
My God, though I have been negligent in seeking piety, here I am, pursuing and following the traces of Your pardon.
إِلَهي أَجِرني مِن عَذابِكَ إِنَّني
أَسيرٌ ذَليلٌ خائِفٌ لَكَ أَخضَعُ
My God, if I have erred through ignorance, I have hoped in You so long that they said, "See how he frets."
My God, my sins have surpassed the highest peaks, yet Your forgiveness for my sin is grander and more lofty.
إِلَهي فَآنِسني بِتَلقينِ حُجَّتي
إِذا كانَ لي في القَبرِ مَثوىً وَمضجَعُ
My God, the remembrance of Your bounty soothes my anguish, while the remembrance of my sins brings tears to my eyes.
My God, bestow upon me Your solace and mercy, for I knock at no door save that of Your grace.
إِلَهي لَئِن عَذَّبتَني أَلفَ حَجَّةٍ
فَحَبلُ رَجائي مِنكَ لا يَتَقَطَّعُ
My God, if You cast me out or turn me away, what recourse have I, O Lord, and what shall I do?
My God, the lover keeps vigil through the night, calling out and praying, while the heedless one sleeps.
إِلَهي أَذِقني طَعمَ عَفوكَ يَومَ لا
بَنونٌ وَلا مالٌ هُناكَ يَنفَعُ
Yet all hope for Your bounty, longing for Your supreme mercy and coveting eternal Paradise.
My God, my hope promises me safety, yet the ugliness of my sins bears witness against me.
إِلَهي إِذا لَم تَرعَني كُنتُ ضائِعاً
وَإِن كُنتَ تَرعاني فَلَستُ أَضيعُ
My God, if You forgive, then Your forgiveness is my salvation; if not, I shall be destroyed by my ruinous sin.
My God, by the right of the Hashimite Prophet and his kin, and by the sanctity of Abraham, Your Friend, I implore You.
إِلَهي إِذا لَم تَعفُ عَن غَيرِ مُحسِنٍ
فَمنَ لَمسيءٍ بِالهَوى يَتَمَتَّعُ
My God, resurrect me upon the faith of Ahmad: pious, pure, obedient, and humble before You.
Do not deprive me, O my God and Master, of his great intercession, for he is the accepted intercessor.
إِلَهي لَئِن فَرَّطتُ في طَلبِ التُقى
فَها أَنا أَثْرَ العَفو أَقفو وَاَتبَعُ
And bless him as long as a monotheist calls upon You, and the righteous whisper prayers while bowing at Your door.
إِلَهي لَئِن أَخطَأتُ جَهلاً فَطالَما
رَجَوتُكَ حَتّى قيلَ ها هُوَ يَجزَعُ
إِلَهي ذُنوبي جازَت الطَودَ وَاَعتَلَت
وَصَفحُكَ عَن ذَنبي أَجَلُّ وَأَرفَعُ
إِلَهي يُنجِّي ذِكرُ طَوْلِكَ لَوعَتي
وَذِكرُ الخَطايا العَينُ مِنّيَ تَدمَعُ
إِلَهي أَنِلني مِنكَ روحاً وَرَحمَةً
فَلَستُ سِوى أَبوابِ فَضلِكَ أَقرَعُ
إِلَهي لِئَن أَقصَيتَني أَو طَرَدتَني
فما حِيلَتي يا رَبُّ أَم كَيفَ أَصنَعُ
إِلَهي حَليفُ الحُبِّ بِاللَيلِ ساهِرٌ
يُنادي وَيَدعو وَالمغَفَّلُ يَهجَعُ
وُكُلَهُمُ يَرجو نَوالَكَ راجياً
لِرَحمَتِكَ العُظمى وَفي الخُلدِ يَطمَعُ
إِلَهي يُمنّيني رَجائي سَلامَةً
وَقُبحُ خَطيئاتي عَليَّ يَشيَّعُ
إِلَهي فَإِن تَعفو فَعَفوُكَ مُنقِذي
وَإِلا فَبالذَنبِ المُدَمِّرِ أُصرَعُ
إِلَهي بِحَقِّ الهاشِميِّ وَآلِهِ
وَحُرمَةُ إِبراهيمَ خِلَّكَ أَضرَعُ
إِلَهي فَاِنشُرني عَلى دينِ أَحمَدٍ
تَقيّاً نَقيّاً قانِتاً لَكَ أَخشَعُ
وَلا تَحرِمَنّي يا إِلَهي وَسَيِّدي
شَفاعَتَهُ الكُبرى فَذاكَ المُشفَّعُ
وَصَلِّ عَلَيهِ ما دَعاكَ مُوَحِّدٌ
وَناجاكَ أَخيارٌ بَبابِكَ رُكَّعُ
