مَا مَعِي وَجَهْ قَابِل بِهْ سِوَى حُسُنْ ظَنِّي

مَا مَعِي وَجَهْ قَابِل بِهْ سِوَى حُسُنْ ظَنِّيفِيكْ يَا رَبِّ فَارْحَمْنِي وَلَا تَمْتَحِنِّي

Mā maʿī wajah qābil bih siwā ḥusun ẓannī, Fīk yā rabbi farḥamnī walā tamtaḥinnī

I have no face to come before You with except my good opinion of You, O Lord; so have mercy on me and do not test me.

تُبْتْ يَا رَبِّ فَاقْبَلْ تَوْبَتِي وَاعْفُ عَنِّيوَامْحُ ذَنْبِي وَسَامِحْ كُلَّ تَقْصِيرْ مِنِّي

Tubt yā rabbi faqbal tawbatī waʿfu ʿannī, Wamḥu dhanbī wasāmiḥ kulla taqṣīr minnī

I have repented, O Lord, so accept my repentance and pardon me, erase my sin and forgive all my shortcomings.

خِفِتْ مِنْ عَاقِبَةْ أَمْرِي فَجُدْ لِي بِأَمْنِيمَحِضْ فَضْلٍ وَإِحْسَانٍ وَجُودٍ وَمَنِّ

Khifit min ʿāqiba amrī fajud lī biʾamnī, Maḥiḍ faḍlin waʾiḥsānin wajūdin wamanni

I fear the outcome of my affair, so grant me safety, purely out of bounty, kindness, generosity and grace.

آه مِنْ عَثْرَتِي يَا رَبِّ مِنْهَا أَقِلْنِيزَادْ ذَنْبِي وَمِنْ كُثْرِ الْخَطَا حَارْ ذِهْنِي

ʾāh min ʿathratī yā rabbi minhā aqilnī, Zād dhanbī wamin kuthri al-khaṭā ḥār dhihnī

Ah, my stumbling! O Lord, lift me up from it; my sins have increased, and my mind is bewildered by so many faults.

أَدْرِكْ أَدْرِكْ بِتَعْجِيلِ الْفَرَجْ وَانْتَقِدْنِيوَاعْطِنِي عِلِمْ مِنْكَ يَا إِلَهِي لَدُنِّي

Adrik adrik bitaʿjīli al-faraj wantaqidnī, Waʿṭinī ʿilim minka yā ilahī ladunnī

Rescue me, rescue me with swift relief, and choose me, and grant me knowledge from Your own presence, O my God,

يَنْجَلِي بِهْ عَنِ الْقَلْبِ الصَّدِي كُلَّ رَيْنِيَا سَمِيعَ الدُّعَاءْ سَلْكَ اسْتَجِبْ وَاسْتَمِعْنِي

Yanjalī bih ʿani al-qalbi aṣ-ṣadī kulla rayni, Yā samīʿa ad-duʿāʾ salka stajib wastamiʿnī

By which every stain of rust is cleared from the heart; O Hearer of prayer, I ask You: answer me and hear me.

مَا لِي إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُعْطِيمَا لِي إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُغْنِي

Mā lī illā anta muʿṭī, Mā lī illā anta mughnī

I have no giver but You, I have none to enrich me but You.
