عاص أتاك يمد الكف مفتقرا

عاص أتاك يمد الكف مفتقرا

ووجههُ عن سواك الدهر مصروفُ

ووجههُ عن سواك الدهر مصروفُ

A sinner has come to You, stretching out his palm in need,

The needy come to you, hands outstretched,

and his face is forever turned away from all but You.

And all others in life turn away their faces.

مولاي عوّدتني الإخلاص من صغر

مولاي عوّدتني الإخلاص من صغر

وإنني بخفى اللطف محفوف

وإنني بخفى اللطف محفوف

My Lord, You have accustomed me to sincere devotion since childhood,

My Master, you taught me sincerity from a young age,

and indeed I am surrounded by hidden kindness.

And I am enveloped in your subtle kindness.

فكيف لا أرتجى عفوا ومغفرة

فكيف لا أرتجى عفوا ومغفرة

وأنت بالعفو والغفران موصوف

وأنت بالعفو والغفران موصوف

How, then, could I not hope for pardon and forgiveness,

How could I not hope for pardon and forgiveness,

when pardon and forgiveness are Your attributes?

When you are known for pardoning and forgiving?

أم كيف أخشى يد الإملاق تبطش بي

أم كيف أخشى يد الإملاق تبطش بي

وأنت بالجود والإحسان معروف

وأنت بالجود والإحسان معروف

Or how could I fear the hand of destitution striking me,

Or how could I fear the clutching hand of deprivation,

when You are known for generosity and beneficence?

When you are renowned for your generosity and benevolence?
