إِلَهي لَكَ الحَمدُ الَّذي أَنتَ أَهلُهُ

إِلَهي لَكَ الحَمدُ الَّذي أَنتَ أَهلُهُ

عَلى نِعَم ما كُنتُ قَطُّ لَها أَهلا

عَلى نِعَم ما كُنتُ قَطُّ لَها أَهلا

My God, Yours is the praise You deserve,

My God, to You belongs all praise that You deserve

for blessings I have never been worthy of.

For blessings which I was never worthy to attain

مَتى اِزدَدتُ تَقصيراً تَزِدني تَفَضُّلاً

مَتى اِزدَدتُ تَقصيراً تَزِدني تَفَضُّلاً

كَأَنِّيَ بِالتَقصيرِ أَستَوجِبُ الفَضلا

كَأَنِّيَ بِالتَقصيرِ أَستَوجِبُ الفَضلا

Whenever I fall further short, You show me greater generosity,

Whenever I am remiss, You increase Your grace to me

as though by falling short I merit Your bounty.

As if through my shortcomings I earn Your favor
