My God, I praise You, - and You art worthy of praise -
عَلَى حُسْنِ صَنِيعِكَ إِلَيَّ، وَ سُبُوغِ نَعْمَائِكَ عَلَيَّ
`alā ḥusni ṣanī`ika ilayy, wa subūghi na`mā-ika `alayy
for Your benefaction toward me, the lavishness of Your favours toward me,
وَ جَزِيلِ عَطَائِكَ عِنْدِي
wa jazīli `aṭā-ika `indī
and Your plentiful bestowal upon me,
وَ عَلَى مَا فَضَّلْتَنِيْ بِهِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ

and lavishing Your favour upon me.
فَقَدِ اصْطَنَعْتَ عِنْدِيْ مَا يَعْجِزُ عَنْهُ شُكْرِيْ وَ لَوْ لَا إِحْسَانُكَ إِلَيَّ
faqadiṣṭana`ta `indī mā ya`jizu `anhu shukrī wa law lā iḥsānuka ilayy

wa lākinnakabtada-tanī bil iḥsān
but You began with beneficence toward me,

bal wajadtuka lidu`ā-ī sāmi`ā, wa limaṭālibī mu`ṭiyā
No, 1 found You a hearer of my supplication and a bestower of my requests;
وَ وَجَدْتُ نُعْمَاكَ عَلَيَّ سَابِغَةً
wa wajadtu nu`māka `alayya sābighah
I found Your favours toward me
فِيْ كُلِّ شَأْنٍ مِنْ شَأْنِيْ وَ كُلِّ زَمَانٍ مِنْ زَمَانِي
fī kulli sha-nin min sha-nī wa kulli zamānin min zamānī
lavish in my every situation and in my every time.
فَأَنْتَ عِنْدِيْ مَحْمُودٌ، وَ صَنِيعُكَ لَدَيَّ مَبْرُورٌ
fa-anta `indī maḥmūd, wa ṣanī`uka ladayya mabrūr
So You art praised by me and Your benefaction honoured.
تَحْمَدُكَ نَفْسِيْ وَ لِسَانِيْ وَ عَقْلِيْ، حَمْدًا يَبْلُغُ الْوَفَاءَ وَ حَقِيقَةَ الشُّكْرِ

حَمْدًا يَكُونُ مَبْلَغَ رِضَاكَ عَنِّي
ḥamdan yakūnu mablagha riḍāka `annī
a praise that attains to Your good pleasure with me -
فَنَجِّنِيْ مِنْ سَخْطِكَ يَا كَهْْفِيْ حِيْنَ تُعْيِينِيَ الْمَذَاهِبُ
fanajjinī min sakhṭika yā kahfī ḥīna tu`yīniyal madhāhib
so deliver me from Your displeasure! O my cave when the ways thwart me!
وَ يَا مُقِيلِيْ عَثْرَتِي
wa yā muqīlī `athratī
O He who releases me from my stumble!
فَلَوْ لَا سَتْرُكَ عَوْرَتِيْ لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمَفْضُوحِيْنَ

Were it not for Your helping me, I would be one of the overcome!

fearing His penalties! O worthy of reverent fear!

wa yā man lahul asmā-ul ḥusnā, as-aluka an ta`fuwa `annī
O He to whom belong the names most beautiful! I ask You to pardon me
وَ تَغْفِرَ لِيْ فَلَسْتُ بَرِيئًا فَأَعْتَذِرَ
wa taghfira lī falastu barī-an fa-a`tadhir
and to forgive me, for I am not innocent that I should offer excuses,
وَ لَا بِذِيْ قُوَّةٍ فَأَنْتَصِرَ
wa lā bidhī quwwatin fa-antaṣir

And if You forgivest - You art the Most Merciful of the merciful!
