وَالْمَنْزِلَ الرَّفِيعَ وَالْوَسِيْلَةَ
walmanzilar rafī`a walwasīlah
a lofty standing, and a means (of nearness to Him).
إِنِّيْ أَنْقَلِبُ عَنْكُمَا
innī anqalibu `ankumā
I will now leave you both,
مُنْتَظِرًا لِتَنَجُّزِ الْحَاجَةِ

expecting my request to be granted,
وَقَضَائِهَا وَنَجَاحِهَا مِنَ اللَّهِ
waqaḍā-ihā wanajāḥihā minallāh
settled, and made successful by Allah
بِشَفَاعَتِكُمَا لِيْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ
bishafā`atikumā lī ilallāhi fī dhālik
on account of your intercession for me with Allah in that;

so, do not let me down
وَلَا يَكونُ مُنْقَلَبِيْ مُنْقَلَبًا خَائِبًا خَاسِرًا
walā yakunu munqalabī munqalaban khā-iban khāsirā
and do not make me leave with disappointment and loss;
بَلْ يَكُونُ مُنْقَلَبِيْ مُنْقَلَبًا رَاجِحًا
bal yakūnu munqalabī munqalaban rājiḥā
rather, make me leave with achievement,
مُفْلِحًا مُنْجِحًا مُسْتَجَابًا

prosperity, success, and response (of my prayers)
بِقَضَاءِ جَمِيْعِ حَوَائِجِي

by having all my requests granted.
وَتَشَفَّعَا لِيْ إِلَى اللَّهِ

And (please) intercede for me with Allah recurrently.
اِنْقَلَبْتُ عَلٰى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ

I now leave on ‘whatever is willed by Allah shall come to pass’
وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

and ‘there is neither might nor power except with Allah’,
مُفَوِّضًا أَمْرِيْ إِلَى اللَّهِ
mufawwiḍan amrī ilallāh
relegating all my affairs to Allah,
مُلْجِئًا ظَهْرِيْ إِلَى اللَّهِ

referring all my power to Allah,
مُتَوَكِّلًا عَلَى اللَّهِ
mutawakkilan `alallāh
depending upon Allah,
وَأَقُولُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَكَفىٰ
wa-aqūlu ḥasbiyallāhu wakafā
and repeating, ‘Allah is only sufficient to me,’
سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ دَعَا

and ‘May Allah respond to him who prays Him.’
لَيْسَ لِيْ وَرَاءَ اللَّهِ
laysa lī warā-allāh
Other than Allah
وَوَرَاءَكُمْ يَا سَادَتِيْ مُنْتَهَى
wawarā-akum yā sādatī muntahā
and other than you all, O my masters, I have nothing to put my hope in.
مَا شَاءَ رَبِّيْ كَانَ
mā shā-a rabbī kān
Only that which my Lord wills shall come to pass,
وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
wamā lam yasha-lam yakun
and whatever He does not will shall never be.
وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
walā ḥawla walā quwwata illā billāh
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمَا اللّٰهَ
astawdi`ukumallāh
I entrust you both with Allah.
وَلَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّيْ إِلَيْكُمَا
walā ja`alahullāhu-ākhiral `ahdi minnī ilaykumā
May Allah never decide this time of my visit to you both to be the last.
اِنْصَرَفْتُ يَا سَيِّدِيْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَمَوْلَايَ
inṣaraftu yā sayyidī yā amīral mu-minīna wamawlāy
May I now leave, O my master, O Commander of the faithful
وَأَنْتَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِاللَّهِ يَا سَيِّدِي
wa-anta yā abā `abdillāhi yā sayyidī
and you O Abu-`Abdullah, O my master.
وَسَلامِيْ عَلَيْكُمَا مُتَّصِلٌ
wasalāmī `alaykumā muttaṣil
My greetings to you both are as continuous
مَا اتَّصَلَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ
mattaṣalal laylu wan nahār
as night and day.
وَاصِلٌ ذٰلِكَ إِلَيْكُمَا
wāṣilun dhālika ilaykumā
May my greetings reach you both (all the time)
غَيْرُ مَحْجُوبٍ عَنْكُمَا سَلامِي
ghayru maḥjūbin `ankumā salāmī
and my salutation never be screened from reaching you both,
إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
in shā-allāh
Allah willing.
وَأَسْأَلُهُ بِحَقِّكُمَا أَنْ يَشَاءَ ذٰلِكَ وَيَفْعَلَ
wa-as-aluhu biḥaqqikumā an yashā-a dhālika wayaf`al
I also beseech Him in your names to determine and do that,
فَإِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
fa-innahu ḥamīdun majīd
for He is verily the owner of praise and the owner of glory.
اِنْقَلَبْتُ يَا سَيِّدَيَّ عَنْكُمَا
inqalabtu yā sayyidayya `ankumā
I am now leaving you both, O my masters,
تَائِبًا حَامِدًا لِلّٰهِ
tā-iban ḥāmidan lillāh
repenting to and praising Allah,
شَاكِرًا رَاجِيًا لِلْإِجَابَةِ
shākiran rājiyan lil-ijābah
and thanking Him and hoping Him to respond to me;
غَيْرَ آيِسٍ وَلَا قَانِطٍ
ghayra-āyisin walā qāniṭ
I neither despair nor lose hope,
آئِبًا عَائِدًا رَاجِعًا إِلٰى زِيَارَتِكُمَا
ā-iban `ā-idan rāji`an ilā ziyāratikumā
and I intend to come back, return, revisit you both,
غَيْرَ رَاغِبٍ عَنْكُمَا وَلَا مِنْ زِيَارَتِكُمَا
ghayra rāghibin `ankumā walā min ziyāratikumā
while I have never desired to leave you or to abandon visiting you;
بَلْ رَاجِعٌ عَائِدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
bal rāji`un `ā-idun in shā-allāh
rather, I shall return and come back, if Allah wills.
وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
walā ḥawla walā quwwata illā billāh
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
يَا سَادَتِيْ رَغِبْتُ إِلَيْكُمَا وَإِلٰى زِيَارَتِكُمَا
yā sādatī raghibtu ilaykumā wa-ilā ziyāratikumā
O my masters, I do desire for both of you and for visiting you
بَعْدَ أَنْ زَهِدَ فِيكُمَا وَْفِيْ زِيَارَتِكُمَا أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا
ba`da an zahida fīkumā wafī ziyāratikumā ahlud dunyā
although the people of this world (may) abandon you both or abandon visiting you.
فَلَا خَيَّبَنِيَ اللَّهُ مٰا رَجَوْتُ وَمَا أَمَّلْتُ فِيْ زِيَارَتِكُمَا
falā khayyabaniyallāhu mā rajawtu wamā ammaltu fī ziyāratikumā
May Allah never make me fail to attain what I have hoped and desired in visiting you both.
إِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ
innahu qarībun mujīb
Verily, He is All-nigh, All-responding.
