although perhaps slowing down may be a blessing in disguise,
لِعِلْمِكَ بِعَاقِبَةِ الْاُمُوْرِ
li`ilmika bi`āqibatil umūr
because You alone know the consequences of all matters.

as if You are overreaching me!
فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ ذٰلِكَ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِي

doing favors to me,
وَالتَّفَضُّلِ عَلَيَّ بِجُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ

So, (please) have mercy on Your ignorant servant
وَجُدْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ إِحْسَانِكَ
wajud `alayhi bifaḍli iḥsānik
and bestow upon him with the favors of Your beneficence.
إِنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ
