    على المحبه والسلام

    يا رب ذكر قلوب البشر

    على الأمل والايمان

    يا رب   يا رب   يا ر

    Where there is doubt let me be faith

    Where there is despair let me be hope

    Where there is darkness let me be light

    And where there is sadness let me be joy

     

    یارب از عرفان مرا پیمانه ای سرشار ده

    چشم بینا، جان آگاه و دل بیدار ده

    سینه ای چون چنگ لبریز از فغانم داده ای

    O Lord, give me a full cup of wisdom.

    Give me a seeing eye, a conscious soul, and an awakened heart.

    Give me a chest like a harp filled with my prayers.

    Give me a hundred mouths to sing like musicians.
