Clause 57 of 99 · No lord but You

رَبِّ ذُلَّ حَيْرَةِ هٰذَا الْمُكَابِرِ وَجُدْ بِاللُّطْفِ وَالْهِدَايَةِ وَالتَّوْفِيقِ وَالْعِنَايَةِ عَلَى عَبْدٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْكَ بُدٌّ وَهُوَ إِلَيْكَ صَائِرٌ

My Lord, [see] the lowliness of this struggler's bewilderment, and grant gentleness, guidance, success and care to a servant who cannot do without You and who is on his way to You.

Rabbi dhulla ḥayrati hādhā l-mukābiri wa-jud bi-l-luṭfi wa-l-hidāyati wa-t-tawfīqi wa-l-ʿināyati ʿalā ʿabdin laysa lahu minka buddun wa-huwa ilayka ṣāʾir

    The reading is uncertain: the opening words look like «ذل حيرة هذا المكابر»; the last word could be «المكابد» (the one who endures). The English is tentative.
