I was indeed one of those who are wrong!”

فَٱسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَنَجَّيْتَهُ مِنَ ٱلغَمِّ

So, You responded to him and delivered him from the grief

وَكَذٰلِكَ  تُنْجِي ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

wa kadh¡lika tunj¢ almu'min¢na

and thus do You deliver the believers;

وَخَرَّ لَكَ سَاجِداً فَغَفَرْتَ لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ

wa kharra laka s¡jidan faghafarta lah£ dhanbah£

and as he fell down prostrating himself to You, You rectified it for him;

وَبِٱسْمِكَ ٱلَّذِي دَعَتْكَ بِهِ آسِيَةُ ٱمْرَاةُ فِرْعَوْنَ

wa bismika alladh¢ da`atka bih¢ ¡siyatu imra'atu fir`awna

in the name of Your Name by which ªsiyah, the wife of Pharaoh, besought You,

wa najjin¢ min alqawmi al¨¨¡lim¢na

and deliver me from the unjust people.”

فَٱسْتَجَبْتَ لَهَا دُعَاءَهَا

fastajabta lah¡ du`¡'ah¡

So, You responded to her prayer;

وَبِٱسْمِكَ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكَ بِهِ ايُّوبُ إِذْ حَلَّ بِهِ ٱلْبَلاَءُ

wa bismika alladh¢ da`¡ka bih¢ ayy£bu idh ¦alla bih¢ albal¡'u

fa`¡faytah£ wa ¡taytah£ ahlah£ wa mithlahum ma`ahum

so, You healed him and gave him his family and the like of them with them:

So, You gifted him kingdom that none else should never gain,

إِنَّكَ انْتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ

for You are verily the Granter of bounties;

وَبِٱسْمِكَ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرْتَ بِهِ ٱلْبُرَاقَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ
