طفلٌ تسابقتِ الهمومُ إليهْ
تجري دموعُ اليُتْمِ في خدَّيه
تتلعثمُ الكلماتُ في فمهِ
وتُرى حياةُ البؤسِ في عينيه

ألمٌ وفقرٌ حالُه ودموعْ
ظمأٌ وجوعٌ قلبُه موجوع
من ذا يضيءُ له الحياةَ شموع
من ذا يواسيهِ ومن يؤويه؟

كن بلسما يمحو الأنينْ
وسعادةً للآخرين
ذا رحمةٍ وفضيلةٍ
كالماسِ كالدُّرِ الثمين

كن في حياتِك غيمةً
تروي الحنايا والحنين
ما أجملَ الدنيا إذا
عشنا بها متراحمين

وهنا احتوتْهُ قلوبُ من تهوى
فعلَ الجميلِ وزادها التقوى
جعَلَتْ لهُ في حُضنِها مأوى
قلبا رحيما كي يحنَّ عليه

وبلحظةٍ عادَ الحنانُ إليه
وتفجّر الإحساس بين يديه
حتى رأينا نورَ بسمتِهِ
متلألأً يبدو على شفتيه

في رحمة الإنسان
نستلهم الإحسان
والرحمون المحسنون
يرحمهم الرحمن

Romanization:
Tiflun tasabaqatil humumu ilayh
Tajri dumu’l yutmi fi khaddayh
Tatala’thamul kalimatu fi famihi
Wa tura hayatul bu’si fi ‘aynayh
Alamun wa faqrun haluhu wa dumu’
Dhama’un wa ju’on qalbuhu mawju’
Man tha yudhi’u lahul hayata shumu’
Man tha yuwasihi wa man you’wih
Kun balsaman yamhul aneen
Wa sa’adatan lil akhareen
Tha rahmatin wa fadhilatin
Kal maasi kaddurri-ththameen
Kun fi hayatika ghaymatan
Tarwil hanaya wal haneen
Ma ajmalad-dunya itha
‘Ishna biha mutarahimeen
Wa huna ihtawat-hu qulubu man tahwa
Fe’lal jameeli wa zaduhat taqwa
Ja’alat lahu fi hudhniha ma’wa
Qalban rahiman kay yahinna ‘alayh
Wa bilahdhatin ‘aadal hananu ilayh
Wa tafajjaral ihsasu bayna yadayh
Hatta ra’ayna noora basmatihi
Mutala’li’an yabdu ‘ala shafatayh
Kun balsaman yamhul aneen
Wa sa’adatan lil akhareen
Tha rahmatin wa fadhilatin
Kal maasi kaddurri-ththameen
Kun fi hayatika ghaymatan

Fi rahmatil insan nastalhimul ihsan
Warrahimunal muhsinuna yarhamuhumur Rahman
Fi rahmatil insan nastalhimul ihsan
Warrahimunal muhsinuna yarhamuhumur Rahman

Translation:
Though still a child, grief fills his heart
An orphan, his tears streaming down his cheek
Words from his lips refuse to part
His eyes of misery and agony speak
His lot is pain, poverty and tears,
Thirst, hunger and heartbreak
Who will light a candle to remove his fears
Who will comfort him and relieve his ache
Be a healing balm for pain
Bring happiness to the world
Your mercy and benevolence
Are dearer than gems and pearls
Be a rain-bearing cloud
That waters a thirsty soul
How wonderful life would be
If we were to show mercy to all
Then he was embraced by hearts fond of
Doing good deeds, driven by piety
Giving him refuge in their embrace
With a merciful heart, showering him with tenderness
In a moment he felt warmth and hope returning
Love flowed through him ardently,
Till a smile lit his face,
And sparkled like pearls on his lips
Be a healing balm for pain
Bring happiness to the world
Your mercy and benevolence
Are dearer than gems and pearls
Be a rain-bearing cloud
That waters a thirsty soul
How wonderful life would be
If we were to show mercy to all
By having mercy on others we learn to be truly human
And the merciful, kind ones are granted the mercy of the Most Merciful
By having mercy on others we learn to be truly human
And the merciful, kind ones are granted the mercy of the Most Merciful
