waz-nam-biwaz-niw-wa mith-lam-bimith-l wa a'w-wiz''-hoo min fi'-lihee

measure for measure, like for like, and recompense him for his act

عِوَضاً حَاضِراً يَتَعَجَّلُ بِهِ نَفْعَ مَا قَدَّمَ،

i'waz''ana h'aaz''iray-yataa'j-jalu bihee naf-a' maa qad-dama

with an immediate compensation through which he will hasten to the profit of what he has sent forth

وَسُرُورَ مَا أَتَى به، إلَى أَنْ يَنْتَهِيَ بِهِ الْوَقْتُ

wa suroora maaa ataa biheee ilaaa ay-yantaheea bihil-waq-tu

and the joy of what he has given, till the present moment takes him

إلَى مَاأَجْرَيْتَ لَـهُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ،

ilaa maa aj-ray-ta lahoo min faz''-lik

O God, and if the affair of Islam should worry a Muslim

but frailty keeps him seated, neediness keeps him waiting,

أَوْ أَخَّرَهُ عَنْهُ حَادِثٌ،

aw akh-kharahoo a'n-hoo h'aadith

a mishap delays him,

أَوْ عَرَضَ لَهُ دُونَ إرَادَتِهِ مَانِعٌ،

aw a'raz''a lahoo doona iraadatihee maania'

or an obstruction prevents him from his wish,

فَاكْتُبِ اسْمَـهُ فِي الْعَابِدِينَ

fak-tubi as-mahoo fil-a'abideen

write his name among the worshipers,

وَأوْجبْ لَهُ ثَوَابَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ

make incumbent for him the reward of the strugglers,
