wa atqana sun`a alfalaki alddawwari fi maqadiri tabarrujihi

O He Who demonstrates His Essence by His Essence,


وَتَنَزَّهَ عَنْ مُجَانَسَةِ مَخْلُوقَاتِهِ

walnnasi`i alhasabi fi dhirwati alkahili al-a`bali

fa'innaka sayyidi wa mawlaya wa mu`tamadi wa raja'i

for You are my Master, my Protector, my Support and my Hope,

wa anta ghayatu matlubi wa munaya fi munqalabi wa mathwaya

and You are the object of my search and my desire in my ultimate end and stable abode.


إِلٰهِي كَيْفَ تَطْرُدُ مِسْكِيناً ٱلْتَجَأَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلذُّنُوبِ هَارِباً

kalla wa hiyaduka mutra`atun fi danki almuhuli

Never! For Your pools are full in the hardship of drought,


وَبَابُكَ مَفْتُوحٌ لِلطَّلَبِ وَٱلْوُغُولِ

wa babuka maftuhun lilttalabi walwughuli

Your door is open for seeking and penetration,


وَأَنتَ غَايَةُ ٱلْمَسْؤُولِ وَنِهَايَةُ ٱلْمَأْمُولِ

wa anta ghayatu almas'uli wa nihayatu alma'muli
