Ya Rabbi bi al-Siddiq

يا رب بالصديق

Arabic text

يَا رَبِّ بِالصِّدِّيقِ مَوْلَانَا الْعَتِيقِ
حَاوِي الْبَهَا وَالْفَضْلِ وَالْعِلْمِ الْحَقِيقِ
فَرِّجْ إِلَٰهَ الْعَرْشِ عَنَّا كُلَّ ضِيقٍ
وَالْطُفْ بِنَا يَا رَبَّنَا فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ
يَا رَبِّي وَامْنَحْ جَمْعَنَا كَشْفَ الْحِجَابِ
وَارِدْ لَنَا فِي وِرْدِنَا صَافِي الشَّرَابِ
وَافْتَحْ لَنَا مِنَ السُّلُوكِ خَيْرَ بَابٍ
وَاخْتِمْ لَنَا بِالْخَيْرِ يَا مَوْلَى الْمَوَالِي

English translation

O my Lord, by the truthful one, our noble friend,
The one who embodies beauty, virtue, and true knowledge
Relieve us, O God of the Throne, from every distress
And be gentle with us, O our Lord, in every situation
O my Lord, grant our gathering the removal of the veil
And return to us in our abundance the pure drink
And open for us the best door of the path
And conclude for us with goodness, O Master of all masters
