WA AH'AAT'AT HAWAAJISUHOO BIQAL-BEE يُعاضِدُ لِيَ الْهَوى، He urges me to act on my fantasies YUA'AZ''IDU LEEAL-HAWAA وَيُزَيِّنُ لِي حُبَّ الدُّنْيَا، And entices me to the love of this world, WA YUZAY-YINU LEE H'UB-BAD-DUNYAA وَيَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَالزُّلْفى.
And distances me from obeying and getting close (to you) WA YAH'OOLU BAY-NEE WA BAY-NAT'-T'AAA'TI WAZ-ZUL-FAA إلهِي إلَيْكَ أَشْكُو My God, to you I complain ILAAHEEE ILAY-KA ASH-KOO قَلْبَاً قاسِياً مَعَ الْوَسْواسِ مُتَقَلِّباً، وَبِالرَّيْنِ وَالطَّبْعِ مُتَلَبِّساً، of a heart that is hard, sealed and clothed in rust constantly turning towards tempting evil thoughts, QAL-BANA QAASEEAM-MAA'L-WAS-WAASI MUTAQAL-LIBAW-WA BIR-RAY-NI WAT'-T'AB-I' MUTALAB-BISAA وَعَيْنَاً عَنِ الْبُكآءِ مِنْ خَوْفِكَ جامِدَةً، وَإلى ما تَسُرُّها طامِحَةً.
and of an eye that does not care to weep in fear of you and instead eagerly seeking that which gives it pleasure!
WA A'Y-NANA A'NIL-BUKAAA-I MIN KHAW-FIKA JAAMIDATAW-WA ILAA MAA TASUR-RUHAA T'AAMIH'AH إلهِي لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إلاَّ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، My God, there is no force and no strength except in your power, ILAAHEE LAA H'AW-LA WA LAA QOO-WATA IL-LAA BIQUD-RATIK وَلا نَجاةَ لِي مِنْ مَكارِهِ الدُّنْيا إلاَّ بِعِصْمَتِكَ، And I now realize that there is no rescue for me, from the detested things of this world, except through your protection.
WA LAA NAJAATA LEE MIM-MAKAARIHID-DUNYAAA IL-LAA BII'S'-MATIK فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِبَلاغَةِ حِكْمَتِكَ، وَنَفاذِ مَشِيَّتِكَ، So I ask you by your all reaching wisdom and your all penetrating will FAAS-ALUKA BIBALAAGHATI H'IK-MATIKA WA NAFAAD'I MASHEE-YATIKA لا تَجْعَلَنِي لِغَيْرِ جُودِكَ مُتَعَرِّضاً، Dot not expose me to anything except your generosity ALAA TAJ-A'L-NEE LIGHAY-RI JOODIKA MUTAA'R-RIZ''AA وَلا تُصَيِّرَنِي لِلْفِتَنِ غَرَضاً، and not to turn me into a target for trials!
WA LAA TUS'AY-YIR-NEE LIL-FITANI GHARAZ''AA وَكُنْ لِي عَلَى الأَعْداءِ ناصِرَاً And you please be for me a helper against my enemies WA KUL-LEE A'LAAL-AA'-DAAA-I NAAS'IRAAN وَعَلَى الْمَخَازِي وَالْعُيُوبِ ساتِراً، And provide me protection to cover over my shameful deeds and faults, WA A'LAAL-MAKHAAZEE WAL-U'YOOBI SAATIRAA وَمِنَ الْبَلاءِ واقِياً، And be my protector against calamities WA MINAL-BALAAYAA WAAQEEAA وَعَنِ الْمَعاصِي عاصِمَاً، And save me from all acts of disobedience!
WAA'NIL-MAA'AS'EE A'AS'IMANA بِرَأْفَتِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ By your leniency and mercy, BIRAA-FATIKA WA RAH'-MATIKA يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
