1. يا من علا فرأى ما في القلوب وما

    تحت الثرى وظلام الليل مندلُ

    O You who rose on high and saw what is in hearts and what

    lies beneath the soil, while the darkness of night hangs down.

  2. أنتَ المغيثُ لمن ضاقَت مذاهبهُ

    أنتَ الدليلُ لمن ضاقَت به الحيلُ

    You are the rescuer of one whose paths have narrowed.

    You are the guide for one whose means have failed him.

  3. إنّا قصدناك والآمالُ واثقةٌ

    والكلُّ يدعوك ملهوف ومبتهِلُ

    Indeed, we have sought You, our hopes confident.

    And everyone calls upon You, distressed and imploring.

  4. فإن غفَرت فَذو فضلٍ وذو كرَمٍ

    وإن سطَرتَ فأنتَ الحاكم العادِلُ

    So if You forgive, You are full of grace and generosity.

    And if You write, You are the just Judge.
