waḥdaka lāsharīka lak
alone, without having any partner,
وَأَنَّكَ وَاحِدٌ أَحَدٌ صَمَدٌ

Just as You decided to confer upon me with Your favor
بِأَنْ جَعَلْتَنِيْ مِنْ أَهْلِ إِجَابَتِكَ
bi-an ja`altanī min ahli ijābatik
when You included me with those to whom You responded,
وَأَهْلِ دِينِكَ
wa-ahli dīnik
the company of Your religion,
وَأَهْلِ دَعْوَتِكَ
wa-ahli da`watik

You had led me to this in the beginning of Your creation of me
تَفَضُّلًا مِنْكَ وَكَرَمًا وَجُودًا

so You renewed all that for me over again

after You renewed my creation

be that You perfect this for me and never deprive me of it
حَتَّىٰ تَتَوَفَّانِيْ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ
ḥattā tatawaffānī `alā dhālik
until You cause me to die on this faith
