إذا أجَبْتَ دُعائي

إذا أجَبْتَ دُعائي

فَأَنْتَ لِلفَضْلِ أَهْلُ

فَأَنْتَ لِلفَضْلِ أَهْلُ

If you answer my prayer,

If You answer my prayer

then generosity befits you;

You are worthy of grace

وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مُسْتَحِقّاً

وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مُسْتَحِقّاً

فإنْ رَدَدْتَ فَعَدْلُ

فإنْ رَدَدْتَ فَعَدْلُ

though I have not been deserving,

And I was not deserving

so if you refuse, that is justice.

But if You turn away, it is just

لَكِنَّني ذُو رَجاءٍ

لَكِنَّني ذُو رَجاءٍ

أَنْ يَغْلِبَ العَدْلَ فضْلُ

أَنْ يَغْلِبَ العَدْلَ فضْلُ

But I have hope

Yet still I have hope

that generosity may prevail over justice.

That grace will overcome justice
