Ḥizb al-Shakwā

حزب الشكوى

Clause 31 of 99 · Far from home

مُذْنِبٌ أَسْأَلُ مِنْكَ الْغُفْرَانَ جَانٍ خَائِفٌ أَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ الصَّفْحَ وَالْأَمَانَ مُسِيءٌ عَاصٍ فَعَسَى قُرْبَةٌ تَجْلُو بِأَنْوَارِهَا ظُلُمَاتِ الْإِسَاءَاتِ وَالْعِصْيَانِ

A sinner, I ask You for forgiveness; a wrongdoer, afraid, I seek Your pardon and safety; one who has done ill and disobeyed: perhaps a nearness will clear away with its lights the darknesses of wrongs and disobedience.

Mudhnibun asʾalu minka l-ghufrāna jānin khāʾifun aṭlubu minka ṣ-ṣafḥa wa-l-amāna musīʾun ʿāṣin fa-ʿasā qurbatun tajlū bi-anwārihā ẓulumāti l-isāʾāti wa-l-ʿiṣyān
