Original lyrics (Arabic and transliteration), followed by a translation of the meaning.
حنـانـك يـا رب ألأكـوان
Hananaka ya rabb al akwani
حنانك يارب الاكوان اليكَ رفعتُ صلاتي
أنا إن احيا فبالأيمانِ يشرِفُ معنى حياتي
Hanaka ya rabbal akwani ilayka rafa3tou salati
ana in ahya fabilimani youcharifou ma3na hayati
سَمِعتُ نِداءك ياربي يجلجلُ في اعماقي صدىً يتجاوب في قلبي مع النغمِ الخفاقِ
فسِرتُ بهديك في دربي وبي ظماءُ المشتاقِ لمنهلك الصافي العذبِ اُروي بهِ امنياتي
Sami3tou nida’aka ya rabbi youjaljilou fi a3maki
Sadan yatajawabou fi kalbi ma3il naghamil 5afaki
Fasirtou bi hadyika fi darbi wa bi zamaoul mouchtaki Limanhalikal safil 3azbi ourawi bihi oumniyati
يُروعُني صخبُ البحرِ وصوتُ قصيف الرعودِ فأنسُ منكَ مع الفجرِ بفيض الرضا والجودِ
فيا مبدع الكونِ من يدري سِواكَ بسرِ الوجودِ فكم فيك ياربُ من سرٍ وأياتِ مُذهلاتِ
Yourawi3ouni sa5aboul bahri wa saoutou kassifi rou3oudi
Fa anaçou minka ma3il fajri bifaiidil rida wal joudi
Faya moubdi3al kawni man yadri siwaka bisirril woujoudi Fakam fika ya rabbou min sérrin wa ayatin mouzhilati
إلهي إن أدعو فمالي سِواكَ مُجيب نِدائي وحينَ أنوءُ بأثقالي فلي بِرِضاكَ عزائي
طَرحتُ مُناي وأمالي لديكَ وكلُ رجائي فأنتَ ملاذي ومالي إليكَ وفيكَ نجاتي
Ilahya in ad3ou fama li siwaka moujiboun nida i
Wa hina anouhou bi askali fali biridaka 3aza i
Tarahtou mounaya wa amaly ladaika wa koula raja i
Fa anta malazi wa ma’ali ilayka wa fika najati.
Translation of the meaning
Your tenderness, Lord of the worlds! To you I have lifted my prayer.
If I live, it is by faith that the meaning of my life is ennobled.
I heard your call, my Lord, ringing in my depths,
an echo answering in my heart to its beating rhythm.
So I walked by your guidance on my way, with the thirst of one who longs
for your pure, sweet spring, to quench my wishes there.
The roar of the sea and the crash of thunder frighten me,
but with the dawn I find peace in you, in the abundance of your favour and generosity.
O Maker of the universe, who but you knows the secret of existence?
How many mysteries and wondrous signs there are in you, Lord!
My God, when I call, I have no one but you to answer my cry;
and when I sink under my burdens, your favour is my comfort.
I have laid before you my desires, my hopes and all my trust:
you are my refuge and my destiny; my salvation is toward you and in you.
