My Lord's knowledge has sufficed me from asking or choosing For my du'a and my agonising supplication is a witness to my poverty. For this secret (reason) I make supplication in times of ease and times of difficulty I am a slave whose pride is in his poverty and obligation O my Lord and my King You know my state And what has settled in my heart of agonies and preoccupations Save me with a gentleness from You, O Lord of Lords Oh save me, Most Generous before I run out of patience (with myself) My Lord's knowledge has sufficed me from asking or choosing O One who is swift in sending aid I ask for aid that will arrive to me swiftly It will defeat all difficulty and it will bring all that I hope for O Near One Who answers and All-Knowing and All-Hearing I have attained realisation through my incapacity, my submission and my brokenness My Lord's knowledge has sufficed me from asking or choosing I am still standing by the door, so please my Lord have mercy on my standing And in the valley of generosity, I am in i'tikaf (solitary retreat) So, Allah, make my retreat here permanent And I'm abiding by good opinion (of You) For it is my friend and ally And it is the one that sits by me and keeps me company All day and night My Lord's knowledge has sufficed me from asking or choosing There is a need in my soul, O Allah so please fulfil it, O Best of Fulfillers And comfort my secret and my heart from its burning and its shrapnel In pleasure and in happiness and as long as You are pleased with me For joy and expansion is my state and my motto and my cover My Lord's knowledge has sufficed me from asking or choosing (Imam AlHaddad Poem)
