يَا خَالِقَ الْخَلْقِ يَا قَهَّارُ يَا أحَدُ

يَا خَالِقَ الْخَلْقِ يَا قَهَّارُ يَا أحَدُ

يَا مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ يَا جَبَّارُ يَا صَمَدُ

يَا مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ يَا جَبَّارُ يَا صَمَدُ

O Creator of creation, O All-Subduer, O One!

O Creator of all things, O Almighty, O One

O Master of dominion, O Compeller, O Eternal Refuge!

O Possessor of the kingdom, O Compeller, O Eternal

أنْتَ القَرِيب المُجِيب المُسْتَغَاث إذَا

أنْتَ القَرِيب المُجِيب المُسْتَغَاث إذَا

عَزَّ النصيرُ وَخَانَ الصَّبْرُ وَالجَلَدُ

عَزَّ النصيرُ وَخَانَ الصَّبْرُ وَالجَلَدُ

You are the Near One, the Answerer, the One sought for help when

You are the Near, the Responder, the One called upon when

a helper is scarce and patience and fortitude fail.

Help is scarce, patience fails, and endurance flees

قَدْ مَسَّنِي ضُرُّ شَيْطَانٍ عليَّ بَغَى

قَدْ مَسَّنِي ضُرُّ شَيْطَانٍ عليَّ بَغَى

ووعدُكَ الحَقُّ فَاكْشِفْ ضُرَّ ما أجِدُ

ووعدُكَ الحَقُّ فَاكْشِفْ ضُرَّ ما أجِدُ

The harm of a devil who transgressed against me has touched me.

An evil devil has afflicted me, he attacked me unjustly

And Your promise is true; so dispel the harm I suffer.

Your promise is true, so remove the harm I suffer

وَخُذْ بِحَقِّيَ مِمَّنْ ضَرَّنِي عَجِلاً

وَخُذْ بِحَقِّيَ مِمَّنْ ضَرَّنِي عَجِلاً

أخْذاً وبيلاً فَأنْتَ الْقَادِرُ الأحدُ

أخْذاً وبيلاً فَأنْتَ الْقَادِرُ الأحدُ

And swiftly exact my due from whoever harmed me,

And for my sake, swiftly seize

with grievous punishment, for You are the All-Powerful, the One.

My oppressor, a seizure of might, for You are the One, the Powerful

وَاغْفِرْ ذُنُوبِي وَسَامِحْ مَا جَنَيْتُ فَمَا

وَاغْفِرْ ذُنُوبِي وَسَامِحْ مَا جَنَيْتُ فَمَا

قَدْ خَابَ عَبْدٌ عَلَى رُحْمَاكَ يَعْتَمِدُ

قَدْ خَابَ عَبْدٌ عَلَى رُحْمَاكَ يَعْتَمِدُ

And forgive my sins and pardon what I have committed, for never

Forgive my sins, pardon my wrongs, for no

has a servant relying on Your mercy been disappointed.

Servant relying on Your mercy is ever disappointed

يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ يَرْتَجِي المَظْلُومُ نُصْرَتَه

يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ يَرْتَجِي المَظْلُومُ نُصْرَتَه

أنْتَ المَلاَذ وَأنْتَ المَدُّ وَالْعُدَدُ

أنْتَ المَلاَذ وَأنْتَ المَدُّ وَالْعُدَدُ

O best of those whose aid the oppressed hope for,

O Best of those from whom the wronged hope for aid

You are the refuge, and You are the aid and the resources.

You are the refuge, the pillar, the support

إنِّي دَعَوْتُكَ مُضْطَرّاً فَخُذْ بِيَدِي

إنِّي دَعَوْتُكَ مُضْطَرّاً فَخُذْ بِيَدِي

مِنْ شَرّ مَا رَاشَه الأعْدَا وَمَا قَصَدوا

مِنْ شَرّ مَا رَاشَه الأعْدَا وَمَا قَصَدوا

Indeed, I have called upon You in distress; so take me by the hand

I called You distressed, so take me by the hand

away from the evil of the shafts the enemies have fletched and of what they intend.

From the evil the enemies schemed and plotted

وَجِئْتُ مُسْتَنْصِراً بِالْمُصْطَفَى كَرَماً

وَجِئْتُ مُسْتَنْصِراً بِالْمُصْطَفَى كَرَماً

وَكَيْفَ أخْذَل وَهْوَ العَوْن وَالْعَضدُ

وَكَيْفَ أخْذَل وَهْوَ العَوْن وَالْعَضدُ

And I have come seeking aid through al-Mustafa, as a gracious favor.

I came seeking aid through the Chosen One, an honor,

And how could I be forsaken when he is aid and the supporting arm?

How could he abandon me when he is the help and pillar?

أمْ كَيْفَ أظْلَم وَالْمُخْتَار مُعْتَمَدِي

أمْ كَيْفَ أظْلَم وَالْمُخْتَار مُعْتَمَدِي

وَمَدْحُه مَلْجَئِي وَالرُّكْن وَالسَّنَدُ

وَمَدْحُه مَلْجَئِي وَالرُّكْن وَالسَّنَدُ

Or how could I be wronged when al-Mukhtar is my mainstay,

Or how could he oppress when the Elect is my reliance,

and praising him is my refuge, my pillar, and my support?

His praise my shelter, pillar and support?
