O He who gives to a servant who asks from Him,
وَإِذَا أَمَّلَ مَا عِنْدَهُ بَلَّغَهُ مُنَاهُ
wa-idhā ammala mā `indahu ballaghahu munāh
takes him to his wish when he expectantly hopes for what is with Him,
وَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَرَّبَهُ وَأَدْنَاهُ
wa-idhā aqbala `alayhi qarrabahu wa-adnāh

wa-idhā jāharahu bil `iṣyāni satara `alā dhanbihi waghaṭṭāh

wa-idhā tawakkala `alayhi aḥsabahu wakafāh
and satisfies and suffices him when he has confidence in Him!

ayaḥsunu an ar-ji`a `an bābika bil khaybati maṣrūfā
Is it good that I come back from Your door, turned away in disappointment,

walastu a`rifu siwāka mawlan bil iḥsāni mawṣūfā

How should I expect from others, when Yours are the creation and the command?
أَأَقْطَعُ رَجَائِيْ مِنْكَ
a-aqṭa`u rajā-ī mink
Should I cut off my hope for You,
وَقَدْ أَوْلَيْتَنِيْ مَا لَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
waqad awlaytanī mā lam as-alhu min faḍlik
when You have shown me of Your bounty that for which I have not asked?
أَمْ تُفْقِرُنِيْ إِلَى مِثْلِي

Would You make me have need for my like?

biraḥmatika yā ar-ḥamar rāḥimīn
By Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful!
