بفقري والذنوب وضعف حالي

بفقري والذنوب وضعف حالي

لجأت بباب خير المرسلينا

لجأت بباب خير المرسلينا

With my poverty, sins, and the weakness of my condition,

With my poverty, sins, and lowly state,

I sought refuge at the door of the best of messengers.

I have come to the door of the best of messengers.

وقد أملت من علياه نصري

وقد أملت من علياه نصري

وكسرة ظهر جيش الحاسدينا

وكسرة ظهر جيش الحاسدينا

And I have hoped for my victory from his lofty station,

And I have hoped for victory from his highness,

And for the breaking of the back of the army of the envious.

And the breaking of the backs of the army of enviers.

فحاشا أن أرد بغير قصدي

فحاشا أن أرد بغير قصدي

وآمالي بأصل العالمينا

وآمالي بأصل العالمينا

Far be it, then, that I should be turned away without what I seek,

So shame on me if I return without my aim,

While my hopes rest in the source of all worlds.

And my hopes in the Master of all people.
