wa qad alja'atni adhdhunubu ila attashabbuthi bi-adhyali `afwika

Sins have made me seek asylum in laying hold on the skirts of Your pardon,

wa da`atni al-isa'atu ila al-inakhati bifina'i `izzika

evildoing has summoned me to dismount in the courtyard of Your might,

وَحَمَلَتْنِي ٱلْمَخَافَةُ مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ عَلَىٰ ٱلتَّمَسُّكِ بِعُرْوَةِ عَطْفِكَ

wa ma ahaqqu man i`tasama bihablika an yukhdhala

It is not right for him who holds fast to Your cord to be abandoned,

وَلاَ يَلِيقُ بِمَنِ ٱسْتَجَارَ بِعِزِّكَ أَنْ يُسْلَمَ أَوْ يُهْمَلَ

wa la yaliqu biman istajara bi`izzika an yuslama aw yuhmala

nor proper for him who seeks the sanctuary of Your might to be surrendered or disregarded.

My God, empty us not of Your defending,

Your angels and the righteous among Your creatures,

أَنْ تَجْعَلَ عَلَيْنَا وَاقِيَةً

tunjina min alhalakati

through which You will deliver us from destructions,

وَتُجَنِّبُنَا مِنَ ٱلآفَاتِ

wa tujannibuna min al-afati

turn aside from us blights,

وَتُكِنُّنَا مِنْ دَوَاهِي ٱلْمُصِيبَاتِ

وَأَنْ تُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ سَكِينَتِكَ

wa an tunzila `alayna min sakinatika

to send down upon us some of Your tranquility,

وَأَنْ تُغَشِّيَ وُجُوهَنَا بِأَنْوَارِ مَحَبَّتِكَ

wa an tughashshiya wujuhana bi-anwari mahabbatika

to wrap our faces in the lights of love for You,

وَأَنْ تُؤْوِيَنَا إِلَىٰ شَدِيدِ رُكْنِكَ

By Your clemency and Your mercy!
