    تمام الهدى فضلاً بنصب الأدلة

    مع الحق حتى لات أحقر لفتة

    إلى موجب الرضوان من كل قربة

    Your guidance is true guidance, O Guide to right conduct; so guide me

    to whatever wins Your good pleasure among all acts of devotion;

  11. وهب لي حظاً من هدى يهتدى به

    إليك ويهدي الخلق لي بالمودة

    And grant me a share of guidance by which one is led

    to You, and which leads creation to me with affection.
