O my Aide at hardships!
إِلَيْكَ فَزِعْتُ

To You do I turn,
وَبِكَ اسْتَغَثْتُ
wa bika istaghathtu
Your help do I seek,
وَبِكَ لُذْتُ
wa bika ludhtu
and with You do I take refuge.
لاَ أَلُوذُ بِسِوَاكَ
la aludhu bisiwaka
I seek refuge with none save You
وَلاَ أَطْلُبُ ٱلْفَرَجَ إِلاَّ مِنْكَ
wa la atlubu alfaraja illa minka
and I beseech none for relief save You.
فَأَغِثْنِي وَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي

So, (please) come to my help and free me from cares.
يَا مَنْ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْيَسِيرَ

O He Who accepts even the least efforts
وَيَعْفُو عَنِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ

(Please do) accept my little effort
وَٱعْفُ عَنِّي ٱلْكَثِيرَ
wa`fu `anni alkathira
excuse my much wrongdoing.
إِنِّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
innaka anta alghafuru alrrahimu
Indeed, You are the Oft-forgiving, Merciful (Lord).
اللِّهُمِّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيـمَاناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي
allahumma inni as'aluka imanan tubashiru bihi qalbi
O Allah, I ask for faith with which You may fill my heart
وَيَقِيناً حَتَّىٰ أَعْلَمَ أَنِّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَنِي إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبْتَ لِي
wa yaqinan hatta a`lama annahu lan yusibani illa ma katabta li
and for certitude so that I shall always know that nothing will afflict me save what You have ordained for me.
وَرَضِّنِي مِنَ ٱلْعَيْشِ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي
wa raddini min al`ayshi bima qasamta li
(Please) make me feel satisfied with the living that You decide for me.
يَا أَرْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ

O my ultimate goal whenever I desire for something!
أَنْتَ ٱلسَّاتِرُ عَوْرَتِي
anta alssatiru `awrati
It is You Who is the concealer of my defects,
وَٱلآمِنُ رَوْعَتِي
wal-aminu raw`ati
Who secures me at times of horror,
وَٱلْمُقِيلُ عَثْرَتِي
wal-muqilu `athrati
and Who overlooks my slips.
فَٱغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي
faghfir li khati'ati
So, (please do) forgive my sin.
