يا مَن تَنزَّه عَن إِبن وَوالِدةٍ

وَمَن حَباني مِنهُ كُلَّ فائِدَةٍ

O You who transcends having a son or daughter

And has granted me all benefit from Him

اِصرف إِلهي عَنّي شَرّ عائِدةٍ

يا مَن أَياديهِ عِندي غَيرُ واحدةٍ

Divert from me, my God, the harm of what returns

O You whose bounties upon me are beyond count

وَمَن مَواهبه تَنمو عَن العَدَدِ

أَدعوكَ يا رَبِّ وَالأَعداءُ واثِبة

And whose gifts grow beyond number

I call upon You, my Lord, while enemies lie in wait for me

عَليَّ بَغياً وَلي بِالسوء طالِبَةٌ

يا مَن نَجاتي بِهِ وَالنَفس ذاهِبَةٌ

Seeking to do me evil, and calamities befall me

O You through whom is my salvation, while my soul is departing

ما نابَني مِن زَماني قَطُّ نائِبَةٌ

ألا وَجدتك فيها آخِذاً بِيَدي

Never in my time has an affliction befallen me

Without finding You taking me by the hand
