And do not let it approach me until I meet You.
Basi isininikaribie mpaka nikukutane nawe.
وَاززُقْنِىْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ زَهَّدْنِى فِيْهَا
Wāzzuqniā mina ad-dunyā wa zahhadniā fīhā
And provide for me from the world and make me ascetic in it.
Na uniruzuku kutoka duniani na unifanye kutokuwa na pupa nayo.
وَ لَا تَزْوِهَا عَنَّى وَ رَغْبَتِى فِيْهَا يَآ رَخْمْنُ
Wa lā tazwihā ʿannā wa raghbatiā fīhā yaʾā rakhmnu
And do not withhold it from me while my desire is for it, O Most Gracious.
Na usininyime hilo wakati matamanio yangu yako kwalo, Ewe Mwingi wa Rehema.

anamuabudu Yeye, na amefuzu yule anayemtii Yeye, na yuko salama yule anayeshikamana Naye. Ee Allah, Ewe Mwenye ukarimu, utukufu, na sifa njema,

uso wake, na akaidhalilisha nafsi yake kwako, na ambaye machozi yake yametiririka kwa kukuogopa, na kilio chake kimezunguka, na akakiri kwako
بِذُنُوبِهِ وَ فَضَحَتَهُ عِنْدَكَ خَطِيْئَتُهُ وَ شَآنَتهُ عِنْدَكَ جَرِيْرِتُهُ فَضَعْفَتْ عِنْدَ ذلِكَ قُوَتُهُ

his sins, and his faults have exposed him before You, and his crimes have made him wretched before You, so his strength weakened at that,
dhambi zake, na makosa yake yamemfedhehesha mbele yako, na makosa yake yamemfanya duni mbele yako, hivyo nguvu zake zikadhoofika wakati huo,
وَ قَلَّثْ جِيْلَتُهُ وَ انْقَطَعَتْ عَنْهُ اَسْبَابُ خَدَائِعِهِ وَاضْمَحَلً عَنْهُ كُلِّ بَاطِلٍ وَ الْجَاتْهُ ذُ

and his schemes dwindled, and the reasons for his deceptions were cut off, and all falsehood vanished from him, and his sins compelled him
na hila zake zikapungua, na sababu za udanganyifu wake zikakatika, na kila ubatili ukatoweka kwake, na dhambi zake zikampeleka
نُوْبُهُ إِلَى ذُلَّ مَقَامِهِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ خُضُوْعِهِ لَدَيْكَ وَابْتِهَالِهِ اِلَيْكَ اَسْئَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ سُؤَالَ

kwenye unyenyekevu wa daraja yake mbele yako, na utiifu wake kwako, na maombi yake kwako. Nakuomba Ee Allah, ombi la
مَنْ هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ اَرغَبُ اِلَيْكَ كَرَغْبَتِهِ وَ ٱَتَضَرَعُ اِلَيْكَ كَتَضَرُّعِهِ وَاَبْتَهِلُ اِلَيْكَ كَاشَدَّ

yule aliye katika daraja yake. Ninakutamani kama yeye anavyokutamani, na nakuomba kwa unyenyekevu kama yeye, na nakuomba kwa dhati kama
ابْتِهَالِهِ، اَللّهُمَّ
Abtihālihi, Allāhumma
intense of his supplications. O Allah,
maombi yake ya dhati. Ee Allah,

So have mercy on the weakness of my speech, the humility of my station, my seat, and the submissiveness of my neck to You. I ask You,
Basi rehemu unyonge wa kauli yangu, na udhalili wa daraja yangu, kikao changu, na unyenyekevu wa shingo yangu kwako. Nakuomba,
اللَّهُمَّ الْهُدْى مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَالْبَصِيْرَةَ مِنَ الْعَمَى وَالرُّشْدَ مِنَ الْغِوَايَةِ وَاَسْئَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ

O Allah, for guidance from misguidance, insight from blindness, and right conduct from deviation. And I ask You, O Allah,
Ee Allah, uongofu kutoka kwenye upotofu, uoni kutoka kwenye upofu, na uelekeo sahihi kutoka kwenye upotevu. Nakuomba Ee Allah,
اَكْثَرَ الْحَمْدِ عِنْدَ الرَّخَاءِ وَاَجْمَلَ الصَّبْرِ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيْبَةِ وَ اَفْضَلَ الشُّكْرِ عِنْدَ مَوْضِع

sifa nyingi wakati wa raha, subira nzuri zaidi wakati wa msiba, na shukrani bora zaidi kwenye mahali

Ash-shukri wa at-taslīma ʿinda ash-shubhāti wa asʾaluka al-quwata fiā ṭāʿatika wālḍḍaʿfa ʿan
of thanks, and submission during doubts. And I ask You for strength in Your obedience, and weakness from
pa kushukuru, na kusalimu amri wakati wa shaka. Nakuomba nguvu katika utiifu wako, na udhaifu kutoka kwenye
مَعْصِيَتِكَ وَالْهَرَبَ إِلَيْكَ مِئْكَ وَ التَّقَرُّبَ اِلَيْكَ رَبَّ لِتَرْضى وَالتَّحَرَّى لِكُلَّ مَا يُرْضِيْكَ

Your disobedience, and flight to You from You, and drawing near to You, Lord, that You may be pleased, and seeking everything that pleases You
maasi kwako, na kukimbilia kwako kutoka kwako, na kujikurubisha kwako, Ee Mola ili uridhike, na kutafuta kila kinachokuridhisha

kwangu, hata katika kuwakasirisha viumbe wako, kwa kutafuta radhi zako. Ee Mola, nani nimtarajie ikiwa hutonirehemu, au nani

atanirudia ikiwa utanitupa mbali, au msamaha wa nani utaniufaisha ikiwa utanuadhibu, au zawadi za nani nizitarajie ikiwa

You deprive me, or who possesses my honor if You humiliate me, or whom his disgrace will harm me if You honor me? Lord,
utaninyima, au nani anayemiliki heshima yangu ikiwa utanidhalilisha, au nani ambaye dharau yake itanidhuru ikiwa utanitukuza? Ee Mola,
مَآ آَسْوَءَ فِعْلِى وَ اَقْبَحَ عَمَلِى وَ اَقْسى قَلْبِىْ وَ ٱَطوَلَ
Maʾā āswaʾa fiʿliā wa aqbaḥa ʿamaliā wa aqsā qalbiā wa aṭwala
How evil is my deed, how ugly is my work, how hardened is my heart, and how long
Ni mabaya vipi vitendo vyangu, ni maovu vipi amali zangu, ni mgumu vipi moyo wangu, na ni marefu vipi
آَمَلِى وَ اَقْصَرَ آَجَلِى وَ آَجْرَآَنِى عَلَى عِضيَانٍ مَنْ خَلَقَنِى رَبِّ وَ مَآ آَحسَنَ بَلَائَكَ

matamanio yangu, ni mfupi vipi muda wangu wa kuishi, na nini kilichonipa ujasiri wa kumuasi aliyeniumba? Ee Mola, na ni nzuri vipi mitihani yako.
عِنْدِى وَ اَظْهَرَ نَعْمَائَكَ عَلَىَّ كَثَرَثْ عَلَىَّ مِئكَ النَّعَمُ فَمَا أُحْصِيْهَا وَ قَلَّ مِنَّى الشُّكْرُ

With me, and manifested Your favors upon me. Your countless bounties increased upon me, so I cannot count them, and my gratitude for them was little.
Kwangu, na ukaidhihirisha neema zako juu yangu. Neema zako nyingi zimeongezeka juu yangu, hivyo siwezi kuzihesabu, na shukrani yangu ilikuwa ndogo.
فِيْمَآ اَوْلَيْتَنِيْهِ فَبَطِرْتُ بِالنَّعَمِ وَ تَعَرَّضْتُ لِلنَّقَمِ وَ سَهَوْتُ عَنِ الذَّكْرِ وَ رَكِبْتُ الْجَهْلَ
Fīmaʾā awlaytanīhi fabaṭirtu biālnnaʿami wa taʿarraḍtu lilnnaqami wa sahawtu ʿani adh-dhakri wa rakibtu al-jahla
Regarding what You bestowed upon me, I became ungrateful for the favors, exposed myself to Your wrath, became heedless of remembrance, and rode the path of ignorance.
Kuhusu ulichonipa, nilikufuru neema hizo, nikajikuta katika maangamizo, nikasahau ukumbusho, na nikafuata njia ya ujinga.
بَعْدَ الْعِلْمِ وَ جُزْتُ مِنَ الْعَدْلِ إِلَى الظِّلْمِ وَ جَاوَزْتُ الْبِرَّ إِلَى الْاِثْمِ وَ صِرْتُ إِلَى اللَّهْوِ
Baʿda al-ʿilmi wa juztu mina al-ʿadli ʾilā aẓ-ẓilmi wa jāwaztu al-birra ʾilā al-āthmi wa ṣirtu ʾilā al-lahwi
After having knowledge, I transgressed from justice to injustice, crossed from righteousness to sin, and turned to diversion.
Baada ya kupata elimu, nilivuka kutoka uadilifu kwenda dhuluma, nikavuka kutoka wema kwenda dhambi, na nikageukia upuuzi.

Nitaleta hoja, na sina udhuru nikijitetea, na sina shukrani nikijaribiwa na kupewa neema, kama wewe hutanisaidia...

The calls of the world called me, so I answered them quickly and inclined towards it obediently, and the calls of the Hereafter called me,
Wito wa dunia ukaniita, nikaitikia haraka na kuelekea humo kwa utiifu, na wito wa Akhera ukaniita,
فَتَتَبَظْتُ عَنْهَا وَ اَبْطَأتُ فِي الْإِجَابَةِ وَالْمُسَارَعَةِ اِلَيْهَا كَمَا سَارَعْتُ إِلْى دَوَاعِن

exalted gardens, and all my deeds accepted, and my good deeds multiplied and pure; I seek refuge in You from trials,
mabustani yaliyoinuka, na matendo yangu yote yakubalike, na mema yangu yazidishwe na yawe safi; najilinda Kwako kutokana na fitna,
كُلَّهَا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ وَ مِنْ رَفِيْعِ الْمَطْعَمِ وَالْمَشْرَبِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَآ اَعْلَمُ وَ مِنْ
Kullahā mā ẓahara minhā wa mā baṭana wa min rafīʿi al-maṭʿami wālmashrabi wa min sharri maʾā aʿlamu wa min

Sharri mā lā āʿlamu wa aʿūdhu bika min an ashtariya al-jahla biālʿilmi wa al-jafā biālḥilmi wāljawra
the evil of what I do not know, and I seek refuge in You from exchanging ignorance for knowledge, cruelty for forbearance, and injustice
shari ya yale nisiyoyajua, na najilinda Kwako nisije nikabadilisha ujinga kwa elimu, na ukatili kwa upole, na dhuluma

Biālʿadhli wālqaṭīʿata biālbirri wāljazaʿa biālṣṣabri awi al-hudhā biālḍḍalālati awi al-kufra biālʾīmāni
for justice, severance of ties for kindness, impatience for patience, or corruption for misguidance, or disbelief for faith.
kwa uadilifu, kukata jamaa kwa wema, kukosa subira kwa subira, au upotofu kwa upotovu, au ukafiri kwa imani.
