Bishr called upon the Most Merciful, who responded
Bishr called upon the Merciful, so He answered his prayer,
to his prayer and gave us rain from the clouds.
Sending us clouds that rained down water.
وَكَانand was دُعَاءُthe prayer بِشرٍof Bishr صَوبَa downpour غَيثٍof rain

And Bishr’s prayer was a downpour of rain
Bishr's prayer for rain was right on target,
by which life is sustained, and which revives whatever it touches.
Reviving and sustaining all that it saturated.
أَغَرُّradiant بِوَجهِهِthrough his face يُسقَىone is watered وَيُحيَاand brought to life
أَغَرُّ بِوَجهِهِ يُسقَى وَيُحيَا
وَنَستَجلِىand we dispel بِغُرَّتِهِby his radiant brow الضَّبابَاthe mist
وَنَستَجلِى بِغُرَّتِهِ الضَّبابَا
Radiant—through his face, rain is granted and life restored,
With his radiant face being watered, he lives again,
and by his radiant brow we dispel the mist.
And with his shining light, the fog is lifted.
