Ḥizb al-Shakwā

حزب الشكوى

Clause 24 of 99 · When the ways narrow

وَأَنْتَ الْمَرْجُوُّ لِكَشْفِ هٰذَا الْمُصَابِ يَا مَنْ إِذَا دُعِيَ أَجَابَ يَا سَرِيعَ الْحِسَابِ يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ يَا عَظِيمَ الْجَنَابِ

You are the one hoped for to lift this affliction, You who answer when called, Swift in reckoning, Lord of lords, Great in Your court.

Wa-anta l-marjuwwu li-kashfi hādhā l-muṣābi yā man idhā duʿiya ajāba yā sarīʿa l-ḥisābi yā rabba l-arbābi yā ʿaẓīma l-janāb

    The last word is read «الجناب» (court), which the rhyme needs; the final letter could be taken for nūn («الجنان»).
