Qad Kafani 'ilmu Rabbi |
My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me |
from asking or choosing |
For my supplication and my neediness |
attest to my poverty. |
By this secret I supplicate |
in times of ease and in times of difficulty |
I am a slave whose pride |
is in his poverty and obligation |
O my Lord, my King |
You know of my state. |
And with what has overwhelmed my heart |
of distress and preoccupations. |
Acknowledge me with a kindness |
from You, O Lord of Lords! |
O countenance of Generosity! |
Save me! |
before I exhaust my patience. |
My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me |
from asking or choosing |
O the Swift in sending aid! |
Grant me aid |
from you which will reach me quickly! |
Defeating all difficulty |
and it will bring all that I hope for |
O the One who is Near! |
O the One Who Answers! |
O the All-Knowing! |
O the All-Hearing! |
I acknowledge my incapacity, |
my lack of power and my brokenness |
My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me |
from asking or choosing |
And here I stand at Your door, |
so have mercy, my Lord on my standing |
And I reside in the valley of generosity, |
So, make my retreat here abiding. |
With a good opinion (of My Lord) which is binding, |
For He is my Friend and Ally. |
And He is my Intimate and One Who is with me, |
throughout the day and throughout the night. |
My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me |
from asking or choosing |
There is a need in my soul! |
O Lord! |
So fulfil it, for You are the best of those who fulfil! |
And comfort my heart and my soul |
from the burning fire inside me. |
With pleasure and happiness |
and with what You are pleased with |
And make joy and expansion my state |
my disposition and that which I’m enveloped with. |
My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me |
from asking or choosing. |
