Arabic text

أَتَيْنَاكَ بِالْفَقْرِ يَاذَا الْغِنَى
وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي لَمْ تَزَلْ مُحْسِنَا
مَسَكِينُكَ الشُّعْثُ قَدْ وُلِّهُوْا
بِحُبِّكَ إِذْ هُوَ أَقْصَى الْمُنَى
وَعَوَّدْتَنَا كُلَّ فَضْلٍ عَسَى
يَدُومُ الَّذِي مِنْكَ عَوَّدْتَنَا
فَمَا فِي الْغِنَى أَحَدٌ مِثْلُكُمْ
وَفِي الْفَقْرِ لَا عُصْبَةٌ مِثْلُنَا
رَأَيْنَاكَ فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ بَدَا
وَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ لَنَا
إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ مَعِي
فَعَنْ حَمْلِ زَادِي أَنَا فِي غِنَى
سَتَرْتُ اسْمَكُمْ غَيْرَةً هَا أَنَا
أُمَوِّهُ بِالشِّعْبِ وَالْمُنْحَنَى
فَأَنتُمْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ لَا غَيْرُكُمْ
فَيَالَيْتَ شِعْرِي أَنَا مَنْ أَنَا
فَيَا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى الْمُصْطَفَى
صَلَاةً تَكُونُ أَمَانًا لَنَا
فَيَا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى الْمُصْطَفَى
صَلَاةً تَكُونُ شِفَاءً لَنَا
فَيَا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى الْمُصْطَفَى
صَلَاةً تَكُونُ فُتُوحًا لَنَا

English translation

We have come to You in need, O Possessor of all wealth,
And You are the One whose kindness never ends.

Your dust-covered, destitute servants are enraptured
By love for You, the loftiest of hopes.

You have accustomed us to every grace
May the favour You have taught us endure.

In riches none can rival You,
And in poverty no band resembles us.

We behold You in every unfolding matter,
And none of those matters belongs to us.

If in every state You are with me,
I have no need to carry my own provisions.

I have hidden Your Name out of jealous care,
Masking it among the ravines and winding paths.

For You alone are the Truth, there is none but You
Ah, would that I knew who, then, am I?

O Lord, send blessings upon the Chosen One,
A prayer that will be our safety.

O Lord, send blessings upon the Chosen One,
A prayer that will be our healing.
O Lord, send blessings upon the Chosen One,
A prayer that will be our opening to every good.
