My God, I have no mediation with You but the tender acts of Your clemency,

ilaahee  

lay-sa lee waseelatun ilay-ka il-laa a'waat'ifu raa-fatika

إِلـٰهِي لَيْسَ لِي وَسِيلَةٌ إلَيْكَ إلاَّ عَواطِفُ رَأفَتِكَ،

nor any way to come to You but the gentle favours of Your mercy

wa laa lee d'areea'tun ilay-ka il-laa a'waarifu rah'-matika

وَلا لِي ذَرِيعَةٌ إلَيْكَ إلاَّ عَوارِفُ رَحْمَتِكَ،

and the intercession of Your Prophet, the prophet of mercy,

wa shafaaa'tu nabee-yika nabee-yir-rah'-mati

وَشَفاعَةُ نَبِيّـِكَ نَبِيّ ِ الرَّحْمَةِ،

who rescued the community from confusion.

wa munqid'il-um-mati minal-ghum-mah

وَمُنْقِذِ الأُمَّةِ مِنَ الْغُمَّةِ،

Make these two my tie to attaining Your forgiveness

faj-a'l-humaa lee sababan ilaa nay-li ghuf-raanik

and let them take me to triumph through Your good pleasure!

وَصَيّـِرْهُمَا لِي وُصْلَةً إلَىٰ الْفَوْزِ بِرِضْوانِكَ،

My hope has dismounted in the sacred precinct of Your generosity,

wa qad h'al-la rajaaa-ee bih'arami karamik

وَقَدْ حَلَّ رَجائِي بِحَرَمِ كَرَمِكَ،

فَحَقّـِقْ فِيكَ أَمَلِيْ

seal my works with good,

wa akh-tim bil-khay-ri a'malee

وَاخْتِمْ بِالْخَيْرِ عَمَلِي،

and place me among Your selected friends, those whom You have set down in the midst of Your Garden,

waj-a'l-nee min s'af-watikal-lad'eena ah'-lal-tahum buh'-booh'ata jan-natik

وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ صَفْوَتِكَ الَّذِينَ أَحْلَلْتَهُمْ بُحْبُوحَةَ جَنَّتِكَ،

and settled in the abode of Your honour,

wa baw-waa-tahum daara karaamatik

وَبَوَّأْتَهُمْ دارَ كَرامَتِكَ

whose eyes You have gladdened by gazing upon You on the day of meeting You,

wa aq-rar-ta aa'-yunahum bin-naz'ari ilay-ka yaw-ma liqaaa-ika

and whom You have made heirs to the sure stations in Your neighbourhood!

wa aw-rath-tahum manaazilas'-s'id-qi fee jiwaarik

وَأَوْرَثْتَهُمْ مَنازِلَ الصّـِدْقِ فِي جِوارِكَ

O He none more generous than whom is reached by the reachers

يا خَيْرَ مَنْ خَلا بِهِ وَحِيدٌ،

wa yaaa aa'-t'afa man aaawaaa ilay-hee t'areed

وَيا أَعْطَفَ مَنْ أَوىٰ إلَيْهِ طَرِيدٌ،

Toward the expanse of Your pardon have I extended my hand,

ilaa saa'ti a'f-wika madat-tu yadee

إلىٰ سَعَةِ عَفْوِكَ مَدَدْتُ يَدِي

upon the skirt of Your generosity have I fastened my grasp!

wa bid'ay-li karamika aa'-laq-tu kaf-fee

وَبِذَيْلِ كَرَمِكَ أَعْلَقْتُ كَفّـِي،

Show me no deprivation

fala toolineel-h'ir-maan

فَلا تُولِنِي الْحِرْمانَ،

يا سَمِيعَ الدُّعاءِ

O Most Merciful of the merciful!

yaaa ar-h'amar-raah'imeen

يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
