Robes of bounty at dawn's forelock

The robes of favor at dawn's first light

Are for the wakeful one who aspires high in seeking gifts.

For the vigilant seeker of gifts sublime

يا طالبَ الغُفران

O seeker of forgiveness,

O seeker of pardon

In the courtyard of bounty,

In the courtyard of grace

For the Master, the Bestower of favors,

The Benevolent Angel

Grants pardon to the servant.

Forgives His servant

من غيرِ ما أعمال أفضى الى ربح

من غيرِ ما أعمال أفضى الى ربح

بجوده الهطلِ وسيبه السَّحِّ

بجوده الهطلِ وسيبه السَّحِّ

Without any deeds, he has attained gain,

Without deeds that led to gain

Through His showering generosity and His streaming bounty.

With His rain of grace and ample mercy

ان تَكُ حاجاتٌ

ان تَكُ حاجاتٌ

حاجبُها النَّفلُ

حاجبُها النَّفلُ

If there are needs

If you have needs

Whose gatekeeper is voluntary devotion,

Veiled by supererogation

فثمَّ أوقاتٌ

فثمَّ أوقاتٌ

يزكو بها الفِعلُ

يزكو بها الفِعلُ

Then there are times

Then there are times

In which action flourishes.

When deeds are purified

God has hours

Whose drizzle is a downpour.

Whose drizzle and downpour

عن كاشفٍ مُبلِ ومانعٍ سَمحِ

عن كاشفٍ مُبلِ ومانعٍ سَمحِ

They arise from a lavish Giver and are known by breaths of grace,

Arise from abounding grace, known by its scent

From One who dispels affliction and brings trials, who withholds and gives freely.

From a revealing guide, gentle and clement

يا غافرَ الحوبه

يا غافرَ الحوبه

مِن بعد اكثارِ

O Forgiver of sins

After repeated sinning,

After frequent lapses

And Accepter of repentance,

O Accepter of repentance

After persistence in sin,

After stubborn insistence

بدمعي الجاري

بدمعي الجاري

I have come to You this time

To You I came in remorse

With my flowing tears,

With my flowing tears

مِن سوءِ أفعال عَدت على صُلحِ

مِن سوءِ أفعال عَدت على صُلحِ

بسابقِ الجهل في حَلبةِ المَزحِ

بسابقِ الجهل في حَلبةِ المَزحِ

For evil deeds that violated peace,

For the ill of deeds, violating accord

With ignorance racing ahead in the racecourse of jest.

With prior ignorance, in the arena of jest

يا مسعفَ الخائف

I have come to You to begin anew

I came to resume

The path of blessedness,

The path of prosperity

ومدمعي واكف

ومدمعي واكف

لما بدا مِنّي

And my tears are falling

With my weeping assuaged

For what has emerged from me.

For my transgressions

كلّمني الاهمال جرحاً على جُرحي

كلّمني الاهمال جرحاً على جُرحي

وزادني ذلي قرحاً على قَرحي

وزادني ذلي قرحاً على قَرحي

Neglect wounded me—a wound upon my wound,

Negligence wounded me, blow upon blow

And my abasement added a sore upon my sore.

And increased my misery, sorrow upon sorrow

بينا أنا قائم

بينا أنا قائم

مقامَ ذي خبلِ

مقامَ ذي خبلِ

While I stood

While I stand

In the stance of one deranged,

In confused stupor

ومدمعي ساجِم

ومدمعي ساجِم

لزلَّةِ النَّعلِ

لزلَّةِ النَّعلِ

And my tears were streaming

And my tears pour

For the sandal's slip

For a misstep of the sandal

عن طاعةِ الراحم

عن طاعةِ الراحم

الحَكمِ العِدلِ

الحَكمِ العِدلِ

Away from obedience to the Merciful,

From obeying the Merciful

The Judge, the Just,

The Just Arbiter

قالت لي الآمال ظَفِرت بالنُّجحِ

فاللَه ذو الفضلِ أجدرُ بالصَّفحِ

فاللَه ذو الفضلِ أجدرُ بالصَّفحِ

Hopes said to me, "You have attained success;

Hope told me, you attained success

For God, the Lord of bounty, is readier to pardon."

For God, of abundant favor, is worthiest to pardon
