سَلْ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ فَهْوَ الآمِرُ النَّاهِي

وَلا تَخَفْ عَادِياً فَالْحُكْمُ لِلَّهِ

Ask the King who owns all, for He is the one who commands and forbids

And fear no enemy, for judgement belongs to Allah

هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْعشُ الْمَظلومَ إِنْ عَلِقَتْ

بِهِ الرَّزَايَا وَيَجْزِي كُلَّ تَيَّاهِ

He who gives life to the oppressed, though laden with sin

And repays all wrongdoing

فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَاقْتَرِبْ تَبْلُغْ بِطَاعَتِهِ

مَا شِئْتَ فِي الدَّهْرِ مِنْ عِزٍّ وَمِنْ جَاهِ

So bow to Him, draw near through obeying Him

And you will attain whatever glory and stature you wish in this life

يَا رَبُّ قَدْ طَالَ بِي شَوْقِي إِلَى وَطَنِي

فَاحْلُلْ وَثَاقِي وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِأَشْبَاهِي

O Lord, my yearning for my homeland has grown long

So unbind my shackles and reunite me with my own

وَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِفَضْلٍ مِنْكَ يَعْصِمُنِي

مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ فَإِنِّي عَاجِزُ وَاهِي

And bless me through Your grace with that which will protect me

From all evil, for I am frail and weak

هذَا دُعَائِي وَحَسْبِي أَنْتَ مِنْ حَكَمٍ

يَعْنُو لَهُ كلُّ شَاهٍ أَوْ شَهِنْشَاهِ

This is my prayer, and You suffice me against any ruler

Be they shah or shahanshah
