Claude 2

  1. يا راحم الشيب في شيبِهِ

    ويا كثير الفيض من سيبِهِ

    O Merciful to the grey-haired in his greyness

    O Abundantly Generous to those who appeal to You

  2. بعتك نفسي فترفق بها

    من يشتري العبد على عيبه

    I have offered myself to You, so be gentle with me

    Who would buy a slave despite his flaws?

  3. إن ذنوبي عظمت كثرة

    فأوقعت قلبيَ في ريبه

    My sins have certainly become many

    So they have cast my heart into doubt

  4. وقد خفي عبدك عن نفسه

    يا من هو الظاهر في غيبه

    Your servant has been hidden from himself

    O He Who is Apparent in His unseen domain

  5. فاكشف له عنك وكن عونه

    في عجزه هذا وفي شيبه

    Reveal Yourself to him and be his helper

    In his inadequacy and greyness

  6. أخرج يداً بيضاء فاسلك بها

    للعبد يا مولاي في جيبه

    Stretch out a white hand and steer him with it

    My Master, into Your fold

  7. ولا تكله للسوى إنه

    يرى السوى دونك في صيبه

    And do not leave him to his peers

    For he sees his peers, not You, in his youth
