Plea to the Mighty Lord from the Weak servant

قصدت باب الرجاء والناس قد رقدوا
وبت أشكو إلى مولاى مـا أجــــــــد
وقلت يـا أملـى فـى كـل نائبــــــــــة
يامن عليه لكشـف الضـر أعتمـــــد
أشكو إليـك أمـــوراً أنـت تعلمهـــــا
مالى على حملها صبـر ولا جلــــــد
مــــــــددت يدى بـالــــذل مفـتـقـرا
يـا خيـــرمـن مـــــــددت إليـه يــد
فـلا تردنـــــــــهـا يـاربـى خائـبـة
فبحر جودك يروى كل مـن يـــــرد
To the door of hope, I turned while others asleep
And to the Mighty Lord, I discolsed what I keep
O My Unfailing Hope in all times of unease
On Whom I place my trust, to cure from disease
To You I complain of things, which you already know
My patience and will are out, and have no place to go
In need and humility, for sure, I do raise my hand
You are the Bountous Giver, at the door I do stand
Fail me not , My Lord, and never send me away
At the river of Your bounty, every soul does stay
(Translated from Arabic by: Sheikh Ahmed Saad)
