يا إِلهِي غَلَبَتْ إِرادَتُكَ إِرادَتِي وَظَهَرَ مِنِّيْ ما ابْتُلِيْتُ بِهِ فَارْحَمْنِي يا أَرْحَمَ الَّراحِمِينَ،

Thy will hath overruled my will, O my God, and I have shown forth what hath grievously vexed me. Have mercy, then, upon me, O Thou Who of all those who show mercy art the Most Merciful!
