اَللّهُمَّ لَخَظَةً مِنْ لَحَظَاتِكَ
Allāhumma laḥẓatan min laḥaẓātika
O Allah, (please grant me) one of Your looks
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, (tafadhali nijaalie) mtazamo mmoja wa Mitazamo Yako
تُيَسِّرُ عَلَى غُرَمَآئِى بِهَا الْقَضَآءَ
Tuyassiru ‘alā ghuramā’ī bihā al-qaḍā’
by which You may make it easy for my debtors to settle their debts
ambayo kwayo Unaweza kuwarahisishia wadai wangu kulipa madeni yao
وَ تُيَسِّرُ لِى بِهَا الاِقْتِضَاءَ
Wa tuyassiru lī bihā al-iqtiḍā’
and for me to recover my loans.

Innaka ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr.
You verily have power over all things.
Hakika Wewe una uwezo juu ya kila kitu.

اَللَّهُمَّ ازْدُذْ اِلْى جَمِيْعٍ خَلْقِكَ
Allāhumma addi ilā jamī‘i khalqika
O Allah, (please) help me pay back to all of Your creatures
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, (tafadhali) nisaidie kulipa kwa viumbe vyako vyote
مَظَالِمَهُمُ الْتِىْ قِبَلِىْ
Maẓālimahumu al-latī qibalī
their dues for which I am liable,
haki zao ambazo nina wajibu kuzilipa,
صَغِيْرَهَا وَ كَبِيْرَهَا
Ṣaghīrahā wa kabīrahā
both the insignificant and the large,
zote ndogo na kubwa,
فِىْ يُسْرٍ مَنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ
Fī yusrin minka wa ‘āfiyah
with easiness and wellbeing from Your Presence.
kwa urahisi na afya njema kutoka Kwako.
وَ مَالَمْ تَبْلُغَهُ قُوَّتِىٰ
Wa mā lam tablughu quwwatī
As for the dues that I am too weak to settle,
Ama haki ambazo mimi ni dhaifu mno kuzilipa,
وَ لَمْ تَسَعْهُ ذَاثُ يَدِىْ
Wa lam tasa‘hu dhātu yadī
I am too poor to make up,
sina uwezo wa kutosha kuzilipa,
وَ لَمْ يَقْوَ عَلَيْهِ بَدَنِى وَ يَقِيْنِى وَ نَفْسِىْ
Wa lam yaqwa ‘alayhi badanī wa yaqīnī wa nafsī
and my physique, certitude, and self are too short to satisfy,
na mwili wangu, yakini yangu, na nafsi yangu havina uwezo wa kutosha kuzitimiza,
فَآَدّهِ عَنَّى مِنْ جَزِيْلِ مَا عِنْدَكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
Fa'addihā ‘annī min jazīli mā ‘indaka min faḍlika
(please) settle them on behalf of me out of the abundant favor You own.
(tafadhali) zilipe kwa niaba yangu kutokana na fadhila Zako nyingi ulizonazo.
ثُمَّ لَا تُخَلِّفُ عَلَىَّ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا تَقْضِيْهِ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِى
Thumma lā tukhallif ‘alayya minhu shay'an taqḍīhi min ḥasanātī
Then, (please) do not cut off any amount of it from my good deeds.
Kisha, (tafadhali) usikate kiasi chochote chake kutoka katika matendo yangu mema.
يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ
Yā Arḥama al-Rāḥimīn
O most merciful of all those who show mercy!
Ee Mwingi wa Rehema kuliko wote wenye kurehemu!
آَشهَدُ اَنْ لَا اِلْهَ إِلَا اللَهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ
Ashhadu an lā ilāha illā Allāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, One and Only and having no associate with Him.
Nashuhudia kuwa hakuna mungu ila Allah, Mmoja na Pekee na hana mshirika naye.
وَ اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهُ
Wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadan ‘abduhu wa rasūluhu
I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger,
Na nashuhudia kuwa Muhammad ni mja wake na mjumbe wake,
وَ انَّ الدِّيْنَ كَمَا شَرَعَ
Wa anna al-dīna kamā shara‘a

na dini ni kama alivyoiweka sheria,
وَ اَنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ كَمَا وَصَفَ
Wa anna al-Islāma kamā waṣafa
Islam is as exactly as He has described,
na Uislamu ni kama alivyoelezea,

na kauli ni kama alivyosema,
وَاَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِيْنُ
Wa anna Allāha huwa al-Ḥaqqu al-Mubīn
and Allah is the manifest truth.
na hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye ukweli dhahiri.
ذَكَرَ اللهُ مُحَمَّدًا وَ اَهلَ بَيْتِهِ بِخَيْرٍ
Dhakara Allāhu Muḥammadan wa Ahla Baytihi bi khayrin
May Allah make good mention of Muhammad and his Household
Mwenyezi Mungu awataje kwa wema Muhammad na Ahlul Bayt wake
وَ حَيًّا مُحَمَّدًا وَ آَهلَ بَيْتِهِ بِالسَّلَامِ.
Wa ḥayyā Muḥammadan wa Ahla Baytihi bi al-salām.
