اَللَّهُمّ إِنَّي آَسْآلُكَ يَا مَنِ اخْتَجَبَ بِشُعَاعِ نُوْرِهِ عَنْ نَوَاظِرٍ خَلْقِهِ
Allāhumma ʾinnay āsʾāluka yā mani akhtajaba bishuʿāʿi nūrihi ʿan nawāẓirin khalqihi
O Allah, I ask You, O He Who veiled Himself with the rays of His Light from the eyes of His creation,
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, hakika mimi nakuomba, Ewe Ambaye amejificha kwa miale ya mwanga Wake kutokana na macho ya viumbe Vyake,

Yā man tasarbala biāljalāli wa al-ʿaẓamati wa ashtahara biālttajabburi fī qudysihi
O He Who clothed Himself with majesty and greatness, and became famous for His omnipotence in His holiness,
Ewe Ambaye amevaa vazi la utukufu na ukubwa, na akajulikana kwa uwezo mkuu katika utakatifu Wake,
يَا مَنْ تَعَالَى بِالْجَلَالِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَآءِ فِي تَفَرُّدِ مَجْدِهِ

يَا مَنِ انْقَادَتِ الْأُمُوْرُ بِاَزِمَّتِهَا طَوْعًا لآمْرِهِ
Yā mani anqādati al-ʾumūru biāzimmatihā ṭawʿan lʾāmrihi
O He to Whose command all affairs submit willingly by their reins,
Ewe Ambaye mambo yote yanatii amri Yake kwa hiari kupitia hatamu zao,
يَا مَنْ قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الاَرَضُوْنَ مُجِيْبَاتٍ لِدَعْوَتِهِ
Yā man qāmati as-samāwātu wa al-āraḍūna mujībātin lidaʿwatihi
O He for Whose call the heavens and the earths stood up in obedience,
Ewe Ambaye mbingu na ardhi zilisimama zikiitikia wito Wake,
يَا مَنْ زَيَّنَ السَّمَآءَ بِالنُّجُوْمِ الطَالِعَةِ وَ جَعَلَهَا هَادِيَةً لِخَلْقِهِ
Yā man zayyana as-samaʾāʾa biālnnujūmi aṭ-ṭāliʿati wa jaʿalahā hādiyatan likhalqihi
O He Who adorned the sky with rising stars and made them a guide for His creation,
Ewe Ambaye amepamba mbingu kwa nyota zinazochomoza na akazifanya kuwa mwongozo kwa viumbe Vyake,
يَا مَنْ اَنَارَ الْقَمَرَ الْمُنِيْرَ فِي سَوَادِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ بِلُظفِهِ
Yā man anāra al-qamara al-munīra fī sawādi al-layli al-muẓlimi biluẓfihi

وَ جَعَلَهَا مُفَرَّقَةً بَيْنَ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ بِعَظَمَتِهِ
Wa jaʿalahā mufarraqatan bayna al-layli wa an-nahāri biʿaẓamatihi
And divided by it between night and day by His greatness,
Na akalifanya kuwa lenye kupambanua kati ya usiku na mchana kwa ukubwa Wake,
يَا مَنِ اسْتَوْجَبَ الشُّكْرَ بِنَشْرِ سَحَائِبِ نِعَمِهِ
Yā mani astawjaba ash-shukra binashri saḥāʾibi niʿamihi
O He Who deserved gratitude by spreading the clouds of His blessings,
Ewe Ambaye amestahili shukrani kwa kueneza mawingu ya neema Zake,
أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزَّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ
ʾasʾaluka bimaʿāqidi al-ʿizza min ʿarshika wa muntahā ar-raḥmati min kitābika
I ask You by the seats of honor of Your Throne and the utmost limit of mercy from Your Book,
Nakuomba kwa mahali pa heshima katika Kiti Chako cha Enzi (Arshi) na upeo wa mwisho wa rehema katika Kitabu Chako,
وَ بِكُلّ اسْمِ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ
Wa bikull asmi huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka
And by every Name that is Yours, which You have named Yourself with,
Na kwa kila Jina ambalo ni Lako, ulilojitaja Kwalo Mwenyewe,
آَوِ اسْتَأثَزْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ
Āwi astaʾthazta bihi fī ʿilmi al-ghaybi ʿindaka
Or which You have kept chosen in the knowledge of the unseen with You,
Au ulilolihifadhi katika elimu ya ghaibu iliyoko Kwako,
وَ بِكُلَّ اسمِ هُوَ لَكَ اَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ
Wa bikulla asmi huwa laka anzaltahu fī kitābika
And by every Name that is Yours, which You have revealed in Your Book,
Na kwa kila Jina ambalo ni Lako, uliloliteremsha katika Kitabu Chako,
آَوْ اَثْبَتَهُ فِي قُلُوْبِ الصَافَيْنَ الْحَآفَيْنَ حَوْلَ عَرْشِكَ
Āw athbatahu fī qulūbi aṣ-ṣāfayna al-ḥaʾāfayna ḥawla ʿarshika
Or established in the hearts of those aligned and surrounding Your Throne,
Au ulilolithibitisha katika nyoyo za waliosafika wanaozunguka Kiti Chako cha Enzi,
فَتَرَاجَعَتِ الْقُلُوْبُ إِلَى الصُّدُوْرِ عَنِ الْبَيَانِ بِإِخْلَاصِ الْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ وَتَحْقِيْقِ الْفَرْدَانِيَّةِ
Fatarājaʿati al-qulūbu ʾilā aṣ-ṣudūri ʿani al-bayāni biʾikhlāṣi al-waḥdāniyyati wataḥqīqi al-fardāniyyati
And so the hearts recoiled back into the chests, falling short of expression, out of sincere belief in Your Oneness and realization of Your Solitariness,
Hadi nyoyo zikarudi vifuani zikishindwa kueleza, kwa sababu ya ikhlasi ya kukuamini kuwa mmoja na kutambua upweke Wako,
مُقِرَّةً لَكَ بِالْعُبُوْدِيَّةِ وَ اِنَّكَ آَنْتَ اللهُ اَنْتَ اللهُ اَنْتَ اللهُ لَا اِلَهَ اِلَّا آَنْتَ
Muqirratan laka biālʿubūdiyyati wa innaka ānta Allāhu anta Allāhu anta Allāhu lā al-ha al-ā ānta
Acknowledging servitude to You, and that indeed You are Allah, You are Allah, You are Allah, there is no god but You.
Zikikiri Kwako utumishi, na kwamba hakika Wewe ndiye Allah, Wewe ndiye Allah, Wewe ndiye Allah, hapana mungu ila Wewe tu,
وَ اَسْاَلُكَ بِالْأَسْمَاءِ الّتِي تَجَلَّيْتَ بِهَا لِلْكَلِيْمِ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ الْعَظِيمِ
Wa asāluka biālʾasmāʾi at-tī tajallayta bihā lilkalīmi ʿalā al-jabali al-ʿaẓīmi
And I ask You by the Names with which You manifested Yourself to the one who spoke with You (Moses) on the mighty mountain,
Na nakuomba kwa Majina ambayo ulijidhihirisha kwayo kwa yule aliyesema nawe (Musa) juu ya mlima mkubwa,
فَلَمَا بَدَا شُعَاعُ نُوْرِ الْحُجُبِ مِنْ بَهَاءِ الْعَظَمَةِ
Falamā badā shuʿāʿu nūri al-ḥujubi min bahāʾi al-ʿaẓamati
And when the ray of light from the veils appeared from the splendor of His Greatness,
Na wakati ulipoonekana miale ya mwanga wa pazia kutokana na uzuri wa ukubwa Wako,
خَرَّتِ الْجِبَالُ مُتَدَكْدِكَةً لِعَظَمَتِكَ وَ جَلَالِكَ وَ هَيْبَتِكَ وَ خَوْفًا مِنْ سَطوَتِكَ رَاهِبَةً مِنْكَ
Kharrati al-jibālu mutadakdikatan liʿaẓamatika wa jalālika wa haybatika wa khawfan min saṭwatika rāhibatan minka
The mountains fell down crumbled to pieces out of Your Greatness, Your Majesty, and Your awe, and in fear of Your power, dreading You,
Milima ilianguka vipande vipande kwa ajili ya ukubwa Wako, utukufu Wako, na hofu Yako, na kwa kuogopa nguvu Zako zikikuogopa Wewe,
فَلَا اِلْهَ اِلَّا أَنْتَ فَلَآ إِلْهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ
Falā al-ha al-ā ʾanta falaʾā ʾilha al-ā anta
So there is no god but You, there is no god but You,
Basi hapana mungu ila Wewe, basi hapana mungu ila Wewe,
فَلَا اِلْهَ اِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ اسْالُكَ بِالاسمِ الَّذِيْ فَتَقْتَ بِهِ رَثْقَ عَظِيْمِ جُفُوْنِ عُيُوْنِ النَّاظِرِيْنَ
Falā al-ha al-ā ʾanta wa asāluka biālāsmi adh-dhī fataqta bihi rathqa ʿaẓīmi jufūni ʿuyūni an-nāẓirīna
There is no god but You; and I ask You by the Name with which You opened the closed immense eyelids of the eyes of the observers,
Basi hapana mungu ila Wewe, na nakuomba kwa Jina ambalo ulifungua kwalo kope kubwa zilizofumbwa za macho ya watazamaji,
الَذِيْ بِهِ تَدْبِيْرُ حِكْمَتِكَ وَ شَوَاهِدُ حُجَجِ اَنْبِيَآئِكَ
Adh-dhī bihi tadbīru ḥikmatika wa shawāhidu ḥujaji anbiyaʾāʾika
By which is the management of Your wisdom and the evidence of the proofs of Your prophets,
Ambamo kwayo mna uendeshaji wa hekima Yako na ushahidi wa hoja za Mitume Wako,
يَعْرِفُوْنَكَ بِفِطَنِ الْقُلُوْبِ وَ اَنْتَ فِي غَوَامِضِ مُسَرَّاتِ سَرِيْرَاتِ الْغُيُوْبِ
Yaʿrifūnaka bifiṭani al-qulūbi wa anta fī ghawāmiḍi musarrāti sarīrāti al-ghuyūbi
They know You through the discernment of hearts, while You are in the deep secrets of the hidden mysteries of the unseen,
Wanakujua Wewe kwa utambuzi wa nyoyo, wakati Wewe ukiwa katika siri kubwa kabisa za ghaibu zilizofichika,
أَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزَّةِ ذَلِكَ الْاِسْمِ آَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
ʾasʾaluka biʿizzati dhalika al-āsmi ān tuṣalliya ʿalā muḥammadin wa ali muḥammadin
I ask You by the honor of that Name to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
Nakuomba kwa utukufu wa Jina hilo umshushie rehema Muhammad na Alizote za Muhammad,
وَ اَنْ تَضْرِفَ عَنّي وَ عَنْ اَهْلِ حُزَانَتِيْ وَ جَمِيْعِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
Wa an taḍrifa ʿanny wa ʿan ahli ḥuzānatī wa jamīʿi al-muʾminīna wa al-muʾmināti
And to turn away from me, and from the members of my household, and all believing men and believing women,
Na uniepushe mimi, na watu wa nyumba yangu, na waumini wote wanaume na wanawake,
جَمِيْعَ الْأقَاتِ وَ الْعَاهَاتِ وَ الْاَعْرَاضِ وَ الْاَمْرَاضِ
Jamīʿa al-ʾqāti wa al-ʿāhāti wa al-āʿrāḍi wa al-āmrāḍi
All calamities, defects, ailments, diseases,
Kutokana na majanga yote, kasoro, maradhi na magonjwa,
وَ الْخَطَايَا وَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الشَكَ وَ الشَّرْكِ
Wa al-khaṭāyā wa adh-dhunūbi wa ash-shaka wa ash-sharki
And errors, sins, doubt, and polytheism,
Na makosa, madhambi, shaka, na ushirikina,
وَ الْكُفْرِ وَ الشَّقَاقِ وَ النَّفَاقِ وَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ الْجَهْلِ وَ الْمَقْتِ وَ الْغَضَبِ
Wa al-kufri wa ash-shaqāqi wa an-nafāqi wa aḍ-ḍalālati wa al-jahli wa al-maqti wa al-ghaḍabi
And disbelief, discord, hypocrisy, misguidance, ignorance, hatred, and anger,
Na ukafiri, ugomvi, unafiki, upotevu, ujinga, chuki, na ghadhabu,
وَ الْعُسْرِ وَ الضَّيْقِ وَ فَسَادِ الضَمِيْرِ وَ حُلُولِ النَّقِمَةِ وَ شَمَاتَةِ الْاَعْدَاءِ وَ غَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ
Wa al-ʿusri wa aḍ-ḍayqi wa fasādi aḍ-ḍamīri wa ḥulūli an-naqimati wa shamātati al-āʿdāʾi wa ghalabati ar-rijāli
And hardship, distress, corruption of the heart, the descent of wrath, the gloating of enemies, and being overcome by men,
Na uzito, dhiki, uharibifu wa nia, kushuka kwa adhabu, kufurahiwa na maadui, na kushindwa na watu,
إِنَّكَ سَمِيْعُ الدُّعَآءِ لَطِيْفٌ لِمَا تَشَآءُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيَّ الْعَظِيمِ.
ʾinnaka samīʿu ad-duʿaʾāʾi laṭīfun limā tashaʾāʾu wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata al-ā biāllhi al-ʿaliyya al-ʿaẓīmi.
Indeed You are the Hearer of supplications, Benevolent to whatever You will, and there is no power nor strength except with Allah, the Most High, the Almighty.
Hakika Wewe ni Mwenye kusikia maombi, Mpole kwa kile Utakacho, na hapana nguvu wala uwezo isipokuwa kwa msaada wa Allah, Aliye Juu, Mkuu.
