إِلَيْكَ نَشْكُو ضَعْفَ قُوَّتِنَا وَقِلَّةَ حِيلَتِنا وَهَوَانَنا عَلَى النَّاسِ،
يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ، أَنْتَ رَبُّ المُسْتَضْعَفِين
Ilayka nashku da'fa quwwatina, wa qillata heelatina, wa hawanana ‘alan-naas, ya arhamar-rahimeen. Anta rabbul-mustad'afeen
To You we complain of our weakness, our failure, our
shame before the people. O Most Merciful! You are the Lord of the weak
and oppressed.
