مَوْلايَ أَيَّدَكَ الرَّحْمَنُ فِي نِعَمِ

وَفِي ثَنَاءٍ مِنَ الإِجْلالِ وَالْعِظَمِ

My master, may the Merciful support you in blessings,

And in praise of reverence and greatness,

بِالبَابِ ضَارِعَةٌ للهِ مُخْلِصَةٌ

تَدْعُو وَمَا خَابَ مَنْ تَدْعُو مِنْ أَمَمِ

A woman pleading to God sincerely

Calls upon you, and those who call upon you are never disappointed,

بِأَنْ يُعِزَّكِ مَا دَامَ الزَّمَانُ وَأَنْ

يُعِزَّ مِصْراً بِرَاعِيهَا عَلَى الأُمَمِ

That He may strengthen you as long as time endures, and that

He may strengthen Egypt through its shepherd over all other nations,

إِني لَجَارِيَةٌ ثَكْلَى وَمَا وَلَدِي

مَيْتٌ وَلَكِنْ طَرِيحُ السِّجْنِ فِي تُهَمِ

I am a grieving woman who has lost her child,

Yet my child is not dead, but imprisoned on false charges,

فَافْعَلْ كَعِيسَى وَأَحْيِ المَيْتَ تُحْيِ بِهِ

أُمّاً عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ تَفْنَى مِنَ الأَلَمِ

So act as Jesus did, and revive the dead to bring back

A mother on the verge of perishing from agony,

وَتُنْجِ زَوْجاً أَذَابَ الضَّعْفُ مُهْجَتَهَا

وَوُلْدُهَا الكُثْرُ مِنْ عُدْمٍ وَمِنْ عَدَمِ

And save a husband whose weakness has melted his determination,

And their abundant children from nothingness and nonexistence,

بِالعَفْوِ عَنْهُ وَكَادَتْ كُل مُدَّتِهِ

تُقْضَى فَمَا ثَمَّ إِلاَّ لَفْظَةٌ بِفَمِ

By pardoning him, as his whole sentence

Nears completion with nothing left but a word from your mouth.
