201not in contention with You, nor to display pride toward You;

بَلْ دَعَاهُ هَوَاهُ إلَى مَا زَيَّلْتَهُ، وَإلَى مَا حَذَّرْتَهُ،

bal daa'ahoo hawaahooo ilaa maa zay-yal-tahoo wa ilaa maa h'ad'-d'ar-tah

202on the contrary, his caprice called him to that which You hadst set apart and cautioned against,

وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَى ذالِكَ عَدُوُّكَ وَعَدُوُّهُ،

wa aa'anahoo a'laa d'alika a'doo-wuka waa'doo

203and he was helped in that by Your enemy and his enemy.

فَأَقْدَمَ عَلَيْهِ عَارِفاً بِوَعِيْدِكَ، رَاجِياً لِعَفْوِكَ،

wuh faaq-dama a'lay-h a'arifam-biwae'edik raajeeal-lia'f-wik

204So he went ahead with it knowing Your threat, hoping for Your pardon,

وَاثِقاً بِتَجَاوُزِكَ، وَكَانَ أَحَقَّ عِبَادِكَ ـ

waathiqam-bitajaawuzik wa kaana ah'aq-qa i'baadika

205and relying upon Your forbearance, though he was the most obligated of Your servants

مَعَ مَا مَنَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ ـ أَلاَّ يَفْعَلَ،

maa' maa mananta a'lay-heee al-laa yaf-a'l

206- given Your kindness toward him - not to do so.

وَهَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ صَاغِراً،

wa haaa ana d'aa bay-na yaday-ka s'aaghirana

207Here I am, then, before You, despised,

ذَلِيلاً، خَاضِعَاً، خَاشِعاً، خَائِفَاً،

d'aleelana khaaz''ia'na khaashia'na khaaa-ifana

208lowly, humble, abject, fearful,

مُعْتَرِفاً بِعَظِيم مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ تَحَمَّلْتُهُ،

mua'-tarifam-bi 'z'eemim-minad'-d'unoobi tah'am-mal-tuh

209confessing the dreadful sins with which I am burdened

وَجَلِيْل مِنَ الْخَطَايَا اجْتَرَمْتُهُ،

wa jaleelim-minal-khat'aayaa aj-taram-tuh

210and the great offenses that I have committed,

مُسْتَجِيراً بِصَفْحِكَ، لائِذاً بِرَحْمَتِكَ،

mus-tajeeram-bis'af-h'ik laaa-id'am-birah'-matik

211seeking sanctuary in Your forgiveness, asking shelter in Your mercy,

مُوقِناً أَنَّهُ لاَ يُجِيرُنِي مِنْكَ مُجِيرٌ،

mooqinan an-nahoo laa yujeerunee minka mujeer

212and certain that no sanctuary-giver will give me sanctuary from You

وَلاَ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ مَانِعٌ .

wa laa yam-nau'nee minka maaniu'n

213and no withholder will hold me back from You.

فَعُدْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا تَعُودُ بِهِ عَلَى مَنِ اقْتَرَفَ مِنْ تَغَمُّدِكَ،

fau'd a'lay-ya bimaa tau'wdu bihee a'laa mani aq-tarafa min tagham-mudik

214So act kindly toward me, just as You actest kindly by Your shielding him who commits sins,

وَجُدْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا تَجُودُ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ أَلْقَى بِيَدِهِ إلَيْكَ مِنْ عَفْوِكَ،

wa jud a'lay-ya bimaa tajoodu bihee a'laa man al-qaa beeadiheee ilay-ka min a'f-wik

215be munificent toward me, just as You art munificent by pardoning him who throws himself before You,

وَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا لاَ يَتَعَاظَمُكَ

wam-nun a'lay-ya bimaa laa yataa'az'amuka

216and show kindness to me, just as it is nothing great for You

أَنْ تَمُنَّ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ أَمَّلَكَ مِنْ غُفْرَانِكَ،

an tamun-na bihee a'laa man am-malaka min ghuf-raanik

217to show kindness by forgiving him who expectantly hopes in You!

وَاجْعَلْ لِي فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ نَصِيباً أَنَالُ بِهِ حَظّاً مِنْ رِضْوَانِكَ،

waj-a'l-lee fee had'aal-yaw-mi nas'eeban anaalu bihee h'az'-z'am-mir-riz''-waanik

218Appoint for me in this day an allotment through which I may attain a share of Your good pleasure,

وَلاَ تَرُدَّنِي صِفْراً مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُ بِهِ الْمُتَعَبِّدُونَ لَكَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ،

wa laa tarud-danee s'if-ram-mim-maa yanqalibu bihil-mutaa'b-bidoona lka min i'baadik

219and send me not back destitute of that with which Your worshipers return from among Your servants!

وَإنِّي وَإنْ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ مَا قَدَّمُوهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ،

wa in-nee wa il-lam uqad-dim maa qad-damoohoo minas'-s'aalih'aati

220Though I have not forwarded the righteous deeds which they have forwarded,

فَقَد قَدَّمْتُ تَوْحِيدَكَ،

faqad qad-dam-tu taw-h'eedaka

221I have forwarded the profession of Your Unity

وَنَفْيَ الاَضْدَادِ وَالاَنْدَادِ وَالاشْبَاهِ عَنْكَ،

wa naf-yal-az''-daadi wal-andaadi wal-ash-baahee a'nk

222and the negation from You of opposites, rivals, and likenesses,

وَأَتَيْتُكَ مِنَ الاَبْوَابِ الَّتِي أَمَرْتَ أَنْ تُؤْتى مِنْها،

wa atay-tuka minal-ab-waabi al-lateee amar-ta an too-taa min-haa

223I have come to You by the gateways by which You hast commanded that people come,

وَتَقَرَّبْتُ إلَيْكَ بِمَا لاَ يَقْرُبُ ،

wa taqar-rab-tu ilay-ka bimaa laa yaq-rubu biheee

224and I have sought nearness to You through that, without seeking nearness through which,

أَحَدٌ مِنْكَ إلاَّ بِالتَّقَرُّبِ بِهِ

ah'adum-minka il-laa bit-taqar-rubi bih

225none gains nearness to You.

ثُمَّ أَتْبَعْتُ ذلِكَ بِالاِنابَةِ إلَيْكَ،

thum-ma at-baa'-tu d'alika bil-inaabati ilay-k

226Then I followed all this with repeated turning toward You,

وَالتَّذَلُّلِ وَالاسْتِكَانَةِ لَكَ، وَحُسْنِ الظَّنِّ بِكَ، وَالثِّقَةِ بِمَا عِنْدَكَ،

wat-tad'al-luli walis-tikaanati lak wa h'us-niz'-z'an-ni bik wath-thiqati bimaa i'ndak

227lowliness and abasement before You, good opinion of You, and trust in what is with You;

وَشَفَعْتُهُ بِرَجآئِكَ

wa shafaa'-tuhoo birajaaa-ika

228and to that I coupled hope in You,

الَّذِي قَلَّ مَا يَخِيبُ عَلَيْهِ رَاجِيْكَ،

al-lad'ee qal-la maa yakheebu a'lay-hee raajeek

229since the one who hopes in You is seldom disappointed!

وَسَأَلْتُكَ مَسْأَلَةَ الْحَقِيرِ الذّلِيلِ

wa saal-tuka mas-alatal-h'aqeerid'-d'aleel

230I asked You with the asking of one vile, lowly,

الْبَائِسِ الْفَقِيْرِ الْخَائِفِ الْمُسْتَجِيرِ،

al-baaa-isil-faqeeril-khaaa-ifil-mus-tajeer

231pitiful, poor, fearful, seeking sanctuary;

wa maa' d'alika kheefataw-wataz''ar-rua'a wa taa'w-wud'aa watalaw-wud'aa

wa laa muta'aleeam-bidaaal-latil-mut'eee'en

234nor exalting myself with the boldness of the obedient,

وَلاَ مُسْتَطِيلاً بِشَفَاعَةِ الشَّافِعِينَ،

wa laa mus-tat'eelam-bishafaaa'tish-shaafie'en

235nor presumptuous of the intercession of the interceders.

wa ana baa'-du aqal-lul-aqal-leen wa ad'al-lul-ad'al-leen

236For I am still the least of the least and the lowliest of the lowly,

وَمِثْلُ الذَّرَّةِ أَوْ دُونَهَا.

wa mith-lud'-d'ar-rati aw doonahaa

237like a dust mote or less!

anaal-lad'ee haaba i'baadaka wa aminak

244I am he who was awed by Your servants and felt secure from You!
