أَتَطْلُبُ الْحَقِيقَهْ

وتَسْلُكُ الطَّرِيقَهْ

You seek the truth,

Yet walk the wrong path,

وأَنْتَ عاصٍ خَاطِي

مُفَرِّطٌ مُتَعاطِي

Disobeying, sinning,

Neglectful, indulging,

وَصَنَمُ الرِّياسَهْ

عِنْدَكَ في نَفَاسَهْ

The idol of power

Is in its glory to you,

يا وَاهِبَ الإحْسانِ

لِعَبْدِكَ الشَّوكَاني

O Giver of Favors

To Your servant Ash-Shawkanee

أَعْطَيْتَهُ الْجَزِيلا

مَنَحْتَهُ الجلِيلا

You have given him plenty

Bestowed on him bounty

تَكَرُّماً تَفَضُّلا

تَحَنُّنا تَطَوُّلا

Out of generosity and grace

Out of compassion and kindness

فاتْمِمْ عَلَيْهِ النِّعَمَا

واسْبلْ عَلَيْهِ الْكَرَما

So complete Your blessings upon him

And shower him with generosity

واخْتِمْ لَهُ بالخَيْرِ

في سِرِّهِ والْجَهْرِ

And conclude for him with good

In private and public
