We`ve come to you, in need of you, by your generosity bound,
You are thē One, Who`s been doing us, all the good around.
So poor we are, nothing we have, except our love for You,
The best of all, we wish is that, Your love for us is due.

And You have accustomed us to every virtue:
We have hopes that what You have accustomed us will continue.
In independance there is no one like You,
And in poverty there is no one like us.

We see You revealed in everything
While we have no share in anything.
If You are with me in every state,
I do not need to carry with me any other means.

I concealed Thy name out of jealousy:
This is why I am alluding to the valleys and the roads
For You are al-Haqq, none but You,
If only I knew (the meaning of) “I” !

O My Lord, pray upon the Elect,
a prayer that becomes a safety for us
O My Lord, pray upon the Elect
a prayer that becomes a cure for us
O My Lord, pray upon the Elect
a prayer that becomes an opening for us.
