آَنْ اَفْتَقِرَ فِى غِنَاكَ
Ān aftaqira fiā ghināka
lest that I may be needy while Your riches are there for me,
nisije nikawa mhitaji hali ya kuwa utajiri wako upo kwa ajili yangu,
اَوْ اَضِلَّ فِى هُدَاكَ
Aw aḍilla fiā hudāka
I may be led astray while Your guidance is there for me,
nisije nikapotea hali ya kuwa mwongozo wako upo kwa ajili yangu,
اَوْ اَذِلً فِي عِزِّكَ
Aw adhilan fī ʿizzika
I may be humiliated while Your honoring is there for me,
nisije nikadhalilika hali ya kuwa utukufu wako upo kwa ajili yangu,
اَوْ اَضَامَ فِى سُلْطَانِكَ
Aw aḍāma fiā sulṭānika
I may be subjugated while Your absolute authority is there for me,
nisije nikadhulumiwa hali ya kuwa mamlaka yako yapo kwa ajili yangu,
اَوْ اُضْطَهَدَ وَالْآمْرُ اِلَيْكَ
Aw uḍṭahada wālʾāmru al-yka
or I may be persecuted while the entire affair is Yours.
au nikadhulumiwa hali ya kuwa mambo yote ni yako.
للَهُمَّ إِنِّىّ اَعْوْذُبِك
Llahumma ʾinniā aʿwdhubik
O Allah, I pray Your protection
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, nakuomba ulinzi wako
آَنْ اَقْوْلَ زُوْرًا
Ān aqwla zūran
lest I may say false things,
nisije nikasema uongo,
اَوْ اَغْشى فُجُوْرًا
Aw aghshā fujūran
commit wickedness,
nisije nikafanya uovu,
اوْ اكُوْنَ بِكَ مَغْرُوْرًا.
Aw akūna bika maghrūran.
or be seduced to exceed Your limits.
au nikadanganyika kiasi cha kuvuka mipaka yako.
