مَولايَ إِنّي عَلَيكَ مُتَّكِلُ

وَأَنتَ عَمّا أَرومُ مُشتَغِلُ

My Master, I rely on You alone,

While You are occupied with what I intend.

وَكَيفَ يُخطي رَأيي وَلي مَلِكٌ

يُضرَبُ في حُسنِ رَأيِهِ المَثَلُ

How can my opinion go astray when I have a King

Whose wisdom is proverbial?

فَقُم بِنَصري فَقَد تَقاعَدَ بي

دَهري وَقَد ضاقَت بَعدَكَ الحِيَلُ

So aid me, for my days have let me down.

Without You, stratagems fail.

وَلا تَكِل حاجَتي إِلى رَجُلٍ

وَمِنكَ في كُلِّ شَعرَةٍ رَجُلُ

Do not entrust my need to any man;

In each hair of mine there is a man through You.
