1. يا رَبَّ ما أَقرَبَ مِنكَ الفَرَجا

    أَنتَ الرَجاءُ وَإِلَيكَ المُلتَجا

    O Lord, how near is relief from You!

    You are hope, and to You is the recourse for refuge.

  2. يا رَبَّ أَشكو لَكَ أَمراً مُزعِجاً

    أَبهَمَ لَيلُ الخَطبِ فيهِ وَدَجا

    O Lord, I complain to You of a troubling matter.

    Within it, the night of calamity has grown murky and dark.

  3. يا رَبَّ فَاِجعَل لي مِنهُ مَخرَجا

    O Lord, then grant me a way out of it.
