Yā Khāliqa al-akwān
يَا خَالِقَ الْأَكْوَان
Arabic text
يَا خَالِقَ الْأَكْوَان بِاللُّطْفِ عَامِلْنِي
مَا لِي عَمَل يُرْضِيك أَنْتَ الْغَنِيّ عَنِّي
يَا خَالِقَ الْأَكْوَان
بِالْمُصْطَفَى الْمُخْتَار مِنْ خِيرَةِ الْأَخْيَار
لَا تَكْشِفَ الْأَسْتَار وَاغْفِرْ وَسَامِحْنِي
يَا خَالِقَ الْأَكْوَان
يَا وَاهِبَ الْإِحْسَان تَقْوَاكَ أَلْهِمْنِي
قَدْ خَابَ مَنْ يَعْصِيك سُبْحَانَكَ ارْحَمْنِي
يَا خَالِقَ الْأَكْوَان
يَا رَبُّ يَا رَحْمٰن صَلِّ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ
عَلَى الرُّوحِ فِي الْأَبْدَان وَالنُّورِ فِي الْعَيْنِ
يَا خَالِقَ الْأَكْوَان
بِمَنْ حَوَى الْأَنْوَار وَالْفَضْلَ وَالْأَسْرَار
أَحْمَد ضِيَا الْأَبْصَار مَنْ مَدْحُهُ فَنِّي
يَا خَالِقَ الْأَكْوَانِ
مَا شَعْشَعَتْ أَنْوَار مِنْ رَوْضَةِ الْمُخْتَار
وَغَرَّدَتْ أَطْيَار نَشْدُوا عَلَى الْغُصْنِ
يَا خَالِقَ الْأَكْوَانِ
