I have been always endued with bounties from You

جَارِياً عَلَىٰ عَادَاتِ ٱلإِحْسَانِ وَٱلْكَرَمِ

jariyan `ala `adati al-ihsani walkarami

and accustomed to receive conferrals and generosity from You.

أَسْأَلُكَ بِٱلْقُدْرَةِ ٱلنَّافِذَةِ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلأَشْيَاءِ

as'aluka bilqudrati alnnafidhati fi jami`i al-ashya'i

I beseech You in the name of the omnipotence to which all things are applicable,

وَقَضَائِكَ ٱلْمُبْرَمِ ٱلَّذِي تَحْجُبُهُ بِأَيْسَرِ ٱلدُّعَاءِ

wa qada'ika almubrami alladhi tahjubuhu bi-aysari alddu`a'i

in the name of Your unstoppable decree that You may stop by the simplest entreaty,

وَبِٱلنَّظْرَةِ ٱلَّتِي نَظَرْتَ بِهَا إِلَىٰ ٱلْجِبَالِ فَتَشَامَخَتْ

wa bilnnazrati allati nazarta biha ila aljibali fatashamakhat

وَإِلَىٰ ٱلأَرَضِينَ فَتَسَطَّحَتْ

wa ila al-aradina fatasattahat

at the layers of the earth and they thus flattened,

وَإِلَىٰ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ فَٱرْتَفَعْت

la tuhmadu ya sayyidi illa bitawfiqin minka yaqtadi hamdan

Whenever You, O my master, are praised, this is due to a bestowal of success that You grant and that requires (us) to praise You for it.

وَلاَ تُشْكَرُ عَلَىٰ أَصْغَرِ مِنَّةٍ إِلاَّ ٱسْتَوْجَبْتَ بِهَا شُكْراً

wa la tushkaru `ala asghari minnatin illa istawjabta biha shukran

Then, at what time can Your bounties be calculated, O my God,

وَتُجَازَىٰ آلاَؤُكَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ

wa tujaza ala'uka ya mawlaya

or can Your errands be recompensed, O my Lord,

وَتُكَافَأُ صَنَائِعُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي

wa tukafa'u sana'i`uka ya sayyidi

or can Your favors be paid off, O my Master?

وَمِنْ نِعَمِكَ يَحْمَدُ ٱلْحَامِدُونَ

wa min ni`amika yahmadu alhamiduna

It is one of Your bounties that praisers praise You

وَمِنْ شُكْرِكَ يَشْكُرُ ٱلشَّاكِرُونَ

wa min shukrika yashkuru alshshakiruna

and it is one of Your thankworthy acts that thanksgivers thank You.

وَأَنْتَ ٱلْمُعْتَمَدُ لِلذُّنُوبِ فِي عَفْوِكَ

wa anta almu`tamadu lildhdhunubi fi `afwika

You are also the trusted for pardoning sins,

وَٱلنَّاشِرُ عَلَىٰ ٱلْخَاطِئِينَ جَنَاحَ سِتْرِكَ

walnnashiru `ala alkhati'ina janaha sitrika

the One Who stretches the wing of Your covering on the wrongdoers,

وَأَنْتَ ٱلْكَاشِفُ لِلضُّرِّ بِيَدِكَ

wa anta alkashifu lilddurri biyadika

and the One Who relieves from harm with Your Hand.

فَكَمْ مِنْ سَيِّئَةٍ أَخْفَاهَا حِلْمُكَ حَتَّىٰ دَخِلَتْ

fakam min sayyi'atin akhfaha hilmuka hatta dakhilat

Too many have been the sins that Your forbearance concealed until they became hidden

وَحَسَنَةٍ ضَاعَفَهَا فَضْلُكَ حَتَّىٰ عَظُمَتْ عَلَيْهَا مُجَازَاتُكَ

wa hasanatin da`afaha fadluka hatta `azumat `alayha mujazatuka

and too many are the good deeds that Your favoring multiplied until Your reward for them became massive.

جَلَلْتَ أَنْ يُخَافَ مِنْكَ إِلاَّ ٱلْعَدْلُ

jalalta an yukhafa minka illa al`adlu

You are too Majestic for us to anticipate anything from You save justice

وَأَنْ يُرْجَىٰ مِنْكَ إِلاَّ ٱلإِحْسَانُ وَٱلْفَضْلُ

wa an yurja minka illa al-ihsanu walfadlu

and to desire for anything from You save good turn and favoring.

فَٱمْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا أَوْجَبَهُ فَضْلُكَ

famnun `alayya bima awjabahu fadluka

So, (please) endue me with the favors that are incumbent upon You on the basis of Your graciousness

وَلاَ تَخْذُلْنِي بِمَا يَحْكُمُ بِهِ عَدْلُكَ

wa la takhdhulni bima yahkumu bihi `adluka

and do not disappoint me of that which is required by Your justice.

سَيِّدِي لَوْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلأَرْضُ بِذُنُوبِي لَسَاخَتْ بِي

sayyidi law `alimat al-ardu bidhunubi lasakhat bi

My Master, if the earth knew about my sins, it would swallow me;

أَوِ ٱلْجِبَالُ لَهَدَّتْنِي

aw aljibalu lahaddatni

if mountains knew about them, they would collapse on me;

أَوِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ َلٱخْتَطَفَتْنِي

aw alssamawatu lakhtatafatni

if heavens knew about them, they would snatch me;

أَوِ ٱلْبِحَارُ َلأَغْرَقَتْنِي

aw albiharu la'aghraqatni

and if oceans knew about them, they would down me!

سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي

sayyidi sayyidi sayyidi

My Master! My Master! My Master!

مَوْلاَيَ مَوْلاَيَ مَوْلاَيَ

mawlaya mawlaya mawlaya

My Lord! My Lord! My Lord!

قَدْ تَكَرَّرَ وُقُوفِي لِضِيَافَتِكَ

qad takarrara wuqufi lidiyafatika

Frequent has been my standing up in Your hospitability;

فَلاَ تَحْرِمْنِي مَا وَعَدْتَ ٱلْمُتَعَرِّضِينَ لِمَسْأَلَتِكَ

fala tahrimni ma wa`adta almuta`arridina limas'alatika
