إِلَهَنا الحَقَّ خَفِّف وَاِشفِ مِن وَصَبٍ
فَإِنَّها دارُ أَثقالٍ وَآلامِ
Our true God, relieve and heal our wounds
For this is a world of burdens and pains
يَسِّر عَلَينا رَحيلاً لا يُلَبِّثُنا
إِلى الحَفائِرِ مِن أَهلٍ وَأَخلامِ
Make easy for us the departure that takes us not long
To the graves, away from family and friends
وَجازِنا عَن خَطايانا بِمَغفِرَةٍ
فَكَم حَلُمتَ وَلَسنا أَهلَ أَحلامِ
And pardon us for our sins with forgiveness
For how patient You have been when we are not deserving
قَد أَسلَمَ الرَجُلُ النُصرانُ مُرتَغَباً
وَلَيسَ ذَلِكَ مِن حُبٍّ لِإِسلامِ
The Christian man has turned Muslim, tempted
Not out of love for Islam
وَإِنَّما رامَ عِزّاً في مَعيشَتِهِ
أَو خافَ ضَربَةَ ماضي الحَدِّ قَلّامِ
But he sought honor in his livelihood
Or feared the lash of the past, the unforgiving
أَو شاءَ تَزويجَ مِثلِ الظَبيِ مُعلَمَةٍ
لِلناظِرينَ بِأَسوارٍ وَعُلّامِ
Or desired to marry, like a gazelle, a trained
Beauty for viewers, over walls and signs
قَد حاوَلَ الناسُ رِزقَ اللَهِ فَاِبتَكَروا
مُجاهِدينَ بِأَرقاحٍ وَأَقلامِ
People have sought the sustenance of God, so they invented
Ways, struggling with scrolls and pens
نَرجو مِنَ اللَهِ رَحباً إِثرَ ضَيِّقَةٍ
مِنَ الأُمورِ وَنوراً بَعدَ إِظلامِ
We hope for expansiveness from God after constraint
In matters, and light after darkness
لَهُ المَمالِكُ قَد بانَت دَلائِلُها
لِلمُفَكِّرينَ بِراياتٍ وَأَعلامِ
To Him belong the kingdoms, their signs are manifest
To the thinkers, with flags and banners
وَالحَظُّ مِن غَيرِ سَعيٍ مِن مَواهِبِهِ
كَأَنَّها ضَربُ أَيسارٍ بِأَزلامِ
And the fortune without effort, from His gifts
As if it were a drawing of lots with tokens
وَيحٌ لِجيلِيَ وَالأَجيالِ إِن بُعِثوا
إِلى حِسابِ قَديمِ اللُطفِ عَلّامِ
Woe to my generation and those to come, if resurrected
To the judgment of the ancient Lord, the All-Knowing
مُحصي الجَرائِمِ فَعّالِ العَظائِمِ نَص
ارِ الهَضائِمِ جازٍ غَيرِ ظَلّامِ
The Enumerator of sins, Doer of great deeds, Protector of the weak
Supporter of the downtrodden, the Just without unfairness
