ya sayyidi 
ya rasulallahi 
khudh bi yadi 
ma li siwaka 
wa la alwi `ala ahadi
fa anta nur al-huda 
fi kulli ka'inatin 
wa anta sirru al-nada 
ya khayra mu`tamadi
wa anta haqqan ghiyathu al-khalqi ajma`ihim 
wa anta hadi al-wara lillahi dhi al-madadi
ya man yaqumu 
maqam al-hamdi 
munfaridan li al-wahidi 
al-fardi lam yulad wa lam yalid
ya man tafajjarat al-anharu nabi`atan min isba`ayhi fa rawwa al-jaysha dha al-`adadi
inni idha samani daymun yurawwi`uni aqulu 
ya sayyida al-sadati 
ya sanadi
kun li shafi`an ila al-rahmani min zalali wamnun `alayya bi ma la kana fi khaladi
wanzur bi `ayn al-rida li da'iman abadan wastur bi fadlika taqsiri mada al-amadi
wa`tuf `alayya bi `afwin minka yashmuluni fa innani `anka ya mawlaya lam uhaddi
inni tawassaltu bi al-mukhtari ashrafi man raqa al-samawati sirri al-wahid al-ahadi
rabbu al-jamali ta`alallahu khaliquhu fa mithlahu fi jami` al-khalqi lam ajidi
khayru al-khala'iqi a`la al-mursalina dhuran dhukhru al-anami wa hadihim ila al-rashadi
bihi iltaja'tu la`allallaha yaghfiru li hadha al-ladhi huwa fi zhanni wa mu`taqadi
fa madhuhu lam yazal da'bi mada `umri wa hubbuhu `inda rabbi al-`arshi mustanadi
`alayhi azka salatin lam tazal abadan ma` al-salami bila hasrin wa la `adadi
wal-ali wal-sahbi ahli al-majdi qatibatin bahri al-samahi wa ahl al-judi wal-madadi


O my master, O Messenger of Allah, take my hand ... 
I have none besides you ...
Nor will I pause to rely on anyone but you ...
For you are the light of guidance in everything that exists 
And you are the secret of munificence and the best reliance ...
And you are in truth the helper of all creation ... 
And you are the guide of mortals to Allah ... 
Owner of help ...

O you who stand on the Station of Praise ... 
Singled out by the One Who is Single ... 
Who is not begotten and does not beget ...

O you from whose fingers rivers burst forth 
So that he quenched the thirst of the numerous army ...

Verily if I am faced with harm and fearful injustice I say: 
O Master of masters ... 
O my support ...
Be my intercessor with the Merciful regarding my mistakes ...
And grace me with what eludes my heart ...
And look upon me always ... 
And ever with kind eyes ... 
And cover with your favor my shortcomings all my life ...
Kindly bestow on me encompassing forgiveness for from you 
O my master 
I was never separated ...
I have sought as my means the elect one ... 
The noblest of any that ascended the heavens ... 
The secret of the Unique One ???

O Lord of beauty ... 
Exalted is Allah Who created him ... 
For such as him in all creation I have never seen ???
The best of creatures ...
The apex of Messengers ... 
The treasure of humankind and their guide to integrity ...

In him I have taken refuge ...
Perhaps Allah will forgive me ... 
This is what I count on and firmly believe ...
Therefore his tireless praise shall never cease to be my task 
And love of him sustains me in the presence of the Lord of the Throne ...
Upon him the purest of endless blessings without cease together 
With greetings that cannot be stemmed nor counted ...
And upon his Family and Companions ... 
A glorious folk all ... 
The ocean of forgiveness ... 
The people of generosity and aid ...
