Ḥizb al-Shakwā

حزب الشكوى

Clause 69 of 99 · Take my hand

رَبِّ ارْحَمْ مَنْ ضَاقَتْ بِهِ الْحِيَلُ وَتَشَابَهَتْ لَدَيْهِ السُّبُلُ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ لِقَلْبِهِ قَرَارًا لَا عِلْمٌ وَلَا عَمَلٌ

My Lord, have mercy on one who has run out of ways, for whom the paths all look alike, who finds no rest for his heart, with neither knowledge nor deeds.

Rabbi rḥam man ḍāqat bihi l-ḥiyalu wa-tashābahat ladayhi s-subulu wa-lam yajid li-qalbihi qarāran lā ʿilmun wa-lā ʿamal
