Waʾastashfiʿu bika ʾilay nafsika

Waʾasʾluka bijūdika ʾan tudniyanī min qurbika

وَتَجْعلَنِي بِقَسَمِكَ رَاضِياً قَانِعاً، وَفِي جَمِيعِ الأَحْوَاِل مُتَوَاضِعاً
Watajʿlanī biqasamika rāḍī qāniʿ, wafī jamīʿi al-ʾaḥwāl mutawāḍiʿ
and make me content and satisfied with what You have decreed for me, and humble in all circumstances.
na unifanye niwe radhi na nimeridhika na yale uliyoniandikia, na niwe mnyenyekevu katika hali zote.
اللَّهُمَّ وَأَسْألُكَ سُؤَالَ مَنِ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتُهُ
Allāhumma waʾasʾluka suʾāla mani ashtaddat fāqatuhu
O Allah, I ask You as one whose need has become intense,
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, nakuomba kama yule ambaye dhiki yake imekuwa kubwa,
وَأَنزَلَ بِكَ عِنْدَ الشَّدَائِدِ حَاجَتَهُ
Waʾanzala bika ʿinda ash-shadāʾidi ḥājatahu
who has presented his need to You in hardships,
ambaye amekuletea haja yake wakati wa matatizo,
وَعَظُمَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ رَغْبَتُهُ
Waʿaẓuma fīmā ʿindaka raghbatuhu
and whose great longing is for what is with You.
na tamaa yake kubwa iko katika yale yaliyo kwako.
اللَّهُمَّ عَظُمَ سُلْطَانُكَ وَعَلاَ مَكَانُكَ
Allāhumma ʿaẓuma sulṭānuka waʿalā makānuka
O Allah, great is Your authority and exalted is Your station,
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, ni kuu mamlaka yako na umetukuka cheo chako,
وَخَفِي مَكْرُكَ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُكَ
Wakhafī makruka waẓahara ʾamruka
Your plan is hidden while Your command is manifest,
Hila zako zimefichika ilhali amri yako imeonekana wazi,
وَغَلَبَ قَهْرُكَ وَجَرَتْ قُدْرَتُكَ
Waghalaba qahruka wajarat qudratuka
Your overpowering force prevails, and Your power flows through all things.
Nguvu zako za kushinda zinatawala, na uweza wako unatekelea mambo yote.
وَلا يُمْكِنُ الْفِرَارُ مِنْ حُكُومَتِكَ
Walā yumkinu al-firāru min ḥukūmatika
and there is no escape from Your dominion.
na hakuna pa kukimbilia mbali na utawala wako.
اللَّهُمَّ لا أَجِدُ لِذُنُوبِي غَافِراً
Allāhumma lā ʾajidu lidhunūbī ghāfir
O Allah, I find no forgiver of my sins,
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, sipati wa kusamehe dhambi zangu,
وَّلا لِقَبَائِحِي سَاتِراً
Wwalā liqabāʾiḥī sātir
nor a concealer of my shameful deeds,
wala kufunika maovu yangu,
وَّلا لِشَيٍْء مِّنْ عَمَلِي الْقَبِيحِ بِالْحَسَنِ مُبَدِّلاً غَيْرَكَ
Wwalā lishayinʾ mmin ʿamalī al-qabīḥi biālḥasani mubaddil ghayraka
nor a transformer of my ugly deeds into good ones besides You.
wala wa kubadilisha matendo yangu mabaya kuwa mema isipokuwa Wewe.
لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنتَ
Lā ʾilaha ʾilā ʾanta
There is no god but You.
Hakuna mungu ila Wewe.
سُبْحَانَكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ
Subḥānaka wabiḥamdika
Glory be to You and praise be to You.
Umetakasika Wewe na sifa zote ni zako.
ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي
Ẓalamtu nafsī
I have wronged myself,
Nimejidhalimu nafsi yangu,
وَتَجَرَّأْتُ بِجَهْلِي
Watajarraʾtu bijahlī
and I have dared due to my ignorance,
na nimekuwa na ujasiri kwa ujinga wangu,
وَسَكَنتُ إِلَي قَدِيمِ ذِكْرِكَ لِي وَمَنِّكَ عَلَيَّ
Wasakantu ʾilay qadīmi dhikrika lī wamannika ʿalayya
and I relied upon Your past remembrance of me and Your blessings upon me.
na nimetegemea kumbukumbu zako za kale juu yangu na neema zako ulizonijalia.
اللَّهُمَّ مَوْلايَ
Allāhumma mawlāya
O Allah, my Master,
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, Mola wangu,
كَم مِّن قَبِيحٍ سَتَرْتَهُ
Kam mmin qabīḥin satartahu
How many ugly deeds You have covered for me,
Ni mara ngapi makosa mabaya umenifunika nayo,
وَكَم مِّن فَاِدحٍ مِّنَ البَلاءِ أَقَلْتَهُ
Wakam mmin fādḥin mmina al-balāʾi ʾaqaltahu
And how many grievous afflictions You have relieved me from,
Na ni misiba mizito mingapi umeniondolea,
وَكَم مِّنْ عِثَارٍ وَّقَيْتَهُ
Wakam mmin ʿithārin wwaqaytahu
And how many stumbles You have prevented,
Na ni kukwama ngapi umenilinda kwayo,
وَكَم مِّن مَّكْرُوهٍ دَفَعْتَهُ
Wakam mmin mmakrūhin dafaʿtahu
And how many disliked things You have repelled,
Na ni mambo mangapi mabaya umeyasogeza mbali nami,
وَكَم مِّن ثَنَاٍء جَمِيلٍ لَّسْتُ أَهْلاً لَّهُ نَشَرْتَهُ
Wakam mmin thanāʾ jamīlin llastu ʾahl llahu nashartahu
And how many beautiful praises, which I was not worthy of, You spread,
Na ni sifa nzuri ngapi ambazo sikustahiki, umenienezea,
اللَّهُمَّ عَظُمَ بَلائِي
Allāhumma ʿaẓuma balāʾī
O Allah, my affliction has grown great,
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, dhiki yangu imekuwa kubwa,
وَأَفْرَطَ بِي سُوءُ حَاِلي
Waʾafraṭa bī sūʾu ḥāly
And my bad condition has exceeded limits,
Na hali yangu mbaya imezidi mipaka,
وَقَصُرَتْ بِي أَعْمَاِلي
Waqaṣurat bī ʾaʿmāly
And my deeds have fallen short,
Na matendo yangu yameshindwa kufika,
وَقَعَدَتْ بِي أَغْلاَلِي
Waqaʿadat bī ʾaghlālī
And my chains have held me back,
Na minyororo yangu imenizuia,
وَحَبَسَنِي عَن نَّفْعِي بُعْدُ آمَاِلي
Waḥabasanī ʿan nnafʿī buʿdu āmāly
And my far-off hopes have kept me from my benefit,
Na matumaini yangu ya mbali yamenizuia manufaa yangu,
وَخَدَعَتْنِي الدُّنْيَا بِغُرُورِهَا وَنَفْسِي بِجِنَايَتِهَا وَمِطَاِلي
Wakhadaʿatnī ad-dunyā bighurūrihā wanafsī bijināyatihā wamiṭāly
The world deceived me by its vanities, and my soul by its treacheries and desires.
Dunia ilinidanganya kwa udanganyifu wake, na nafsi yangu kwa hila zake na tamaa zangu.
يَا سَيِّدِي فَأَسْألُكَ بِعِزَّتِكَ أَن لا يَحْجُبَ عَنْكَ دُعَائِي سُوءُ عَمَلِي وَفِعَاِلي
Yā sayyidī faʾasʾluka biʿizzatika ʾan lā yaḥjuba ʿanka duʿāʾī sūʾu ʿamalī wafiʿāly
O my Master, I ask You by Your honour that the evil of my deeds and actions not prevent my supplication from reaching You.
Ee Mola wangu, nakuomba kwa izza yako kwamba ubaya wa matendo yangu na vitendo vyangu usizuie dua yangu kufika kwako.
وَلا تَفْضَحَنِي بِخَفِيِّ مَا اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سِرِّي
Walā tafḍaḥanī bikhafiyyi mā aṭṭalaʿta ʿalayhi min sirrī
And do not disgrace me by exposing what of my secret You have come to know.
Na usinifichue kwa kufichua yale ya siri yangu uliyoyajua.
وَلا تُعَاجِلْنِي بِالْعُقُوبَةِ عَلَى مَا عَمِلْتُهُ فِي خَلَوَاتِي
Walā tuʿājilnī biālʿuqūbati ʿalā mā ʿamiltuhu fī khalawātī
And do not hasten punishment upon me for what I did in my private seclusions.
Na usinishukumu kwa adhabu kwa haraka kwa kile nilichofanya nikitengwa.
مِنْ سُوءِ فِعْلِي وَإِسَاءَتِي،
Min sūʾi fiʿlī waʾisāʾatī,
From the evil of my actions and my wrongdoings,
Kutokana na ubaya wa matendo yangu na makosa yangu,
وَدَوَامِ تَفْرِيطِي وَجَهَالَتِي
Wadawāmi tafrīṭī wajahālatī
and from the continuance of my negligence and my ignorance,
na kutokana na kudumu kwa uzembe wangu na ujinga wangu,
وَكَثْرَةِ شَهَوَاتِي وَغَفْلَتِي
Wakathrati shahawātī waghaflatī
and from the abundance of my passions and my heedlessness,
na kutokana na wingi wa tamaa zangu na uzembe wangu,
وَكُنِ اللَّهُمَّ بِعِزَّتِكَ لِي فِي كُلِّ الأَحْوَاِل رَؤُوفاً
Wakuni Allāhumma biʿizzatika lī fī kulli al-ʾaḥwāl raʾūf
O Allah, by Your honour be compassionate to me in every circumstance,
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, kwa izza yako uje huruma kwangu katika hali zote,
وَّعَلَيَّ فِي جَمِيعِ الأُمُورِ عَطُوفاً
Wwaʿalayya fī jamīʿi al-ʾumūri ʿaṭūf
and be tender and merciful toward me in all affairs.
na uwe mwenye huruma kwangu katika mambo yote.
إِلَهِي وَرَبِّي مَن لِّي غَيْرُكَ أَسْألُهُ كَشْفَ ضُرِّي وَالْنَّظَرَ فِي أَمْرِي!
ʾilahī warabbī man llī ghayruka ʾasʾluhu kashfa ḍurrī wālnnaẓara fī ʾamrī!
My God and my Lord! Who do I have besides You to ask to remove my distress and to look into my affairs?
Mola wangu na Mola Wangu! Ni nani mwingine niliye naye isipokuwa Wewe, nimuombe aondoe dhiki yangu na aangalie mambo yangu?
إِلَهِي وَمَوْلاي أَجْرَيْتَ عَلَيَّ حُكْماً اتَّبَعْتُ فِيهِ هَوَى نَفْسِي،
ʾilahī wamawlāy ʾajrayta ʿalayya ḥukm attabaʿtu fīhi hawā nafsī,
My God and my Master! You decreed a judgment for me, but I followed the desires of my soul in it,
Mola wangu na Bwana wangu! Ulinipangia hukumu, lakini nikaifuata matamanio ya nafsi yangu ndani yake,
وَلَمْ أَحْتَرِسْ فِيهِ مِن تَزْيينِ عَدُوِّي،
Walam ʾaḥtaris fīhi min tazyyni ʿaduwwī,
And I did not guard myself against the adornment of my enemy in it,
Wala sikujilinda humo kutokana na kupambwa kwa adui yangu,
فَغَرَّنِي بِمَا أَهْوَى وَأَسْعَدَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ القَضَاءُ
Fagharranī bimā ʾahwā waʾasʿadahu ʿalā dhalika al-qaḍāʾu
So he deceived me with what I desired, and the judgment helped him against me in that,
Hivyo alinidanganya kwa yale niliyoyataka, na hukumu ikamsaidia dhidi yangu katika hilo,
فَتَجَاوَزْتُ بِمَا جَرَى عَلَيَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بَعْضَ حُدُودِكَ
Fatajāwaztu bimā jarā ʿalayya min dhalika baʿḍa ḥudūdika
Thus, by what befell me through that, I transgressed some of Your limits,
Hivyo, kwa yaliyoniangukia kutokana na hayo, nikavuka baadhi ya mipaka Yako,
وَخَالَفْتُ بَعْضَ أَوَامِرِكَ
Wakhālaftu baʿḍa ʾawāmirika
And I opposed some of Your commands,
Na nikakhalifu baadhi ya amri Zako,
فَلَكَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيَّ فِي جَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ
Falaka al-ḥujjatu ʿalayya fī jamīʿi dhalika
So You have the argument against me in all of that,
Basi una hoja juu yangu katika hayo yote,
وَلا حُجَّةَ لِي فِيمَا جَرَي عَلَيَّ فِيهِ قَضَاؤُكَ،
Walā ḥujjata lī fīmā jaray ʿalayya fīhi qaḍāʾuka,
And I have no argument regarding what Your judgment has brought upon me,
Wala sina hoja juu ya yale yaliyoniangukia kutokana na hukumu Yako,
وَأَلْزَمَنِي حُكْمُكَ وَبَلاؤُكَ
Waʾalzamanī ḥukmuka wabalāʾuka
And Your decree and trial have bound me,
Na hukumu Yako na mtihani Wako umenifunga,
وَقَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ يَا إِلَهِي بَعْدَ تَقْصِيرِي وَإِسْرَافِي عَلَى نَفْسِي
Waqad ʾataytuka yā ʾilahī baʿda taqṣīrī waʾisrāfī ʿalā nafsī
Yet I have come to You, O my God, after my shortcomings and my extravagance against myself,
Lakini nimekujia Wewe, Ee Mola wangu, baada ya mapungufu yangu na kupitiliza kwangu juu ya nafsi yangu,
مُعْتَذِراً نَّادِماً،
Muʿtadhir nnādim,
Repenting and remorseful,
Nikilia na nikisikitika,
مُّنْكَسِراً مُّسْتَقِيلاً
Mmunkasir mmustaqīl
Humbled and resigned,
Nikiwa mnyenyekevu na nimekubali,
مُّسْتَغْفِراً مُّنِيباً،
Mmustaghfir mmunīb,
Seeking forgiveness and turning to You,
Nikitafuta msamaha na nikirudi kwako,
مُّقِرّاً مُّذْعِناً مُّعْتَرِفاً
Mmuqirr mmudhʿin mmuʿtarif
Acknowledging, submitting, and admitting my faults,
Nikikiri, nikikubali, na nikitambua makosa yangu,
لا أَجِدُ مَفَرّاً مِّمَّا كَانَ مِنِّي
Lā ʾajidu mafarr mmimmā kāna minnī
I find no escape from what I have done,
Sina kimbilio kutokana na yale niliyofanya,
وَلا مَفْزَعاً أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْهِ في أَمْرِي
Walā mafzaʿ ʾatawajjahu ʾilayhi fy ʾamrī
Nor any refuge to turn to in my affairs,
Na hakuna kimbilio cha kugeukia katika mambo yangu,
غَيْرَ قَبُولِكَ عُذْرِي، وَإِدخَاِلكَ إِيَاي فِي سَعَةٍ مِّن رَّحْمَتِكَ
Ghayra qabūlika ʿudhrī, waʾidkhālka ʾiyāy fī saʿatin mmin rraḥmatika
Except Your acceptance of my excuse, and admitting me into the vastness of Your mercy.
Bila ya kukubali kwako kwa kisingizio changu, na kuniruhusu katika wingi wa rehema zako.
اللَّهُمَّ فَاقْبَل عُذْرِي
Allāhumma fāqbal ʿudhrī
O Allah, accept my excuse,
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, kubali udhuru wangu,
وَارْحَمْ شِدَّةَ ضُرِّي
Wārḥam shiddata ḍurrī
and have mercy on the severity of my affliction,
na unirehemu katika ukali wa dhiki yangu,
وَفُكَّنِي مِن شَدِّ وَثَاقِي
Wafukkanī min shaddi wathāqī
and release me from the tightness of my bonds,
na unikomboe kutokana na minyororo yangu iliyo ngumu,
يَا رَبِّ ارْحَمْ ضَعْفَ بَدَنِي وَرِقَّةَ جِلْدِي وَدِقَّةَ عَظْمِي
Yā rabbi arḥam ḍaʿfa badanī wariqqata jildī wadiqqata ʿaẓmī
O Lord, have mercy on the weakness of my body, the delicacy of my skin, and the frailty of my bones,
Ee Mola, unirehemu kwa udhaifu wa mwili wangu, laini ya ngozi yangu, na udogo wa mifupa yangu,
يَا مَنْ بَدَأَ خَلْقِي وَذِكْرِي وَتَرْبِيَتِي وَبِرِّي وَتَغْذِيَتِي
Yā man badaʾa khalqī wadhikrī watarbiyatī wabirrī wataghdhiyatī
O You who originated my creation, remembrance, upbringing, goodness, and nourishment,
Ee Uliyeanzisha uumbaji wangu, ukumbusho wangu, malezi yangu, wema wangu, na kunilisha kwako,
هَبْنِي لابْتِدَاءِ كَرَمِكَ وَسَاِلفِ بِرِّكَ بِي
Habnī lābtidāʾi karamika wasālfi birrika bī
grant me, for the sake of the beginning of Your generosity and the past of Your goodness to me,
nipa, kwa ajili ya mwanzo wa ukarimu Wako na yaliyopita ya wema Wako kwangu,
يَا إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي وَرَبِّي
Yā ʾilahī wasayyidī warabbī
O my God, my Master, and my Lord,
Ee Mola wangu, Bwana wangu, na Mola Wangu,
أَتُرَاكَ مُعَذِّبِي بِنَارِكَ بَعْدَ تَوْحِيدِكَ
ʾaturāka muʿaddhibī binārika baʿda tawḥīdika
Do You really see Yourself tormenting me with Your Fire after I have affirmed Your Oneness,
Je, kweli Wewe utanitesa kwa moto Wako baada ya mimi kuthibitisha upweke Wako,
وَبَعْدَ مَا انْطَوَى عَلَيْهِ قَلْبِي مِن مَّعْرِفَتِكَ
Wabaʿda mā anṭawā ʿalayhi qalbī min mmaʿrifatika
and after my heart has been filled with knowledge of You,
na baada ya moyo wangu kufunikwa kwa maarifa Yako,
وَلَهِجَ بِهِ لِسَانِي مِنْ ذِكْرِكَ
Walahija bihi lisānī min dhikrika
and my tongue has constantly spoken of Your remembrance,
na ulimi wangu umekuwa ukitamka mara kwa mara dhikri Yako,
وَاعْتَقَدَهُ ضَمِيرِي مِنْ حُبِّكَ
Wāʿtaqadahu ḍamīrī min ḥubbika
and my conscience has held fast to Your love,
na dhamiri yangu imekumbatia upendo Wako,
وَبَعْدَ صِدْقِ اعْتِرَافِي وَدُعَائِي خَاضِعاً لِّرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ
Wabaʿda ṣidqi aʿtirāfī waduʿāʾī khāḍiʿ llirubūbiyyatika
and after the sincerity of my confession and my supplication in humility before Your Lordship?
na baada ya ukweli wa kukiri kwangu na dua yangu katika unyenyekevu mbele ya Uola Wako?
هَيْهَاتَ أَنتَ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَن تُضَيِّعَ مَن رَّبَّيْتَهُ
Hayhāta ʾanta ʾakramu min ʾan tuḍayyiʿa man rrabbaytahu
Far be it! You are too generous to neglect one You have nurtured,
Hasha! Wewe ni Mkarimu mno kiasi cha kumpuuza uliyemlea,
أَوْ تُبْعِدَ مَنْ أَدْنَيْتَهُ
ʾaw tubʿida man ʾadnaytahu
or to drive away one You have brought near,
au kumfukuza uliyemkaribisha,
أَوْ تُشَرِّدَ مَنْ آوَيْتَهُ
ʾaw tusharrida man āwaytahu
or to banish one You have given shelter,
au kumtupilia mbali uliyempa hifadhi,
أَوْ تُسْلِّمَ إِلىَ الْبلاءِ مَن كَفَيْتَهُ وَرَحِمْتَهُ
ʾaw tusllima ʾilā al-blāʾi man kafaytahu waraḥimtahu
or to abandon to trials one You have sufficed and shown mercy to.
au kumwachia mitihani yule Uliyetosheleza na kumrehemu.
وَلَيْتَ شِعْرِي يَا سَيِّدِي وَإِلَهِي وَمَوْلاي
Walayta shiʿrī yā sayyidī waʾilahī wamawlāy
Would that I knew, O my Master, my God, and my Lord,
Laiti ningejua, Ee Bwana wangu, Mola wangu, na Mola wangu,
أَتُسَلِّطُ النَّارَ عَلَى وُجُوهٍ خَرَّتْ لِعَظَمَتِكَ سَاجِدَةً
ʾatusalliṭu an-nāra ʿalā wujūhin kharrat liʿaẓamatika sājidatan
will You impose the Fire upon faces that have fallen in prostration before Your greatness?
Je, utaiweka moto juu ya nyuso zilizoinama zikisujudu mbele ya utukufu Wako?
وَعَلَى أَلْسُنٍ نَطَقَتْ بِتَوْحِيدِكَ صَادِقَةً وَبِشُكْرِكَ مَادِحَةً
Waʿalā ʾalsunin naṭaqat bitawḥīdika ṣādiqatan wabishukrika mādiḥatan
And upon tongues that spoke sincerely of Your Oneness and praised You with gratitude,
Na juu ya ndimi zilizoongea kwa ikhlasi kuhusu Tauhidi Yako na kukuimba kwa shukrani,
وَعَلَى قُلُوبٍ اعْتَرَفَتْ بِإِلَهِيَّتِكَ مُحَقِّقَةً
Waʿalā qulūbin aʿtarafat biʾilahiyyatika muḥaqqiqatan
and upon hearts that acknowledged Your divinity with certainty,
na juu ya mioyo iliyokitambua ulione wawezao kwa uhakika,
وَعَلَى ضَمَائِرَ حَوَتْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ بِكَ حَتَّى صَارَتْ خَاشِعَةً
Waʿalā ḍamāʾira ḥawat mina al-ʿilmi bika ḥattā ṣārat khāshiʿatan
and upon consciences that contained knowledge of You until they became humble,
na juu ya dhamiri zilizojazwa maarifa ya Kwako hadi zikawa wanyenyekevu,
وَعَلَى جَوَارِحَ سَعَتْ إِلَى أَوْطَانِ تَعَبُّدِكَ طَائِعَةً وَأَشَارَتْ بِاسْتِغْفَارِكَ مُذْعِنَةً
Waʿalā jawāriḥa saʿat ʾilā ʾawṭāni taʿabbudika ṭāʾiʿatan waʾashārat biāstighfārika mudhʿinatan
and upon limbs that hastened to the abodes of Your worship obediently, and signaled their repentance to You submissively,
na juu ya viungo vilivyojitahidi kufika kwenye makazi ya ibada Yako kwa utii, na vilionyesha toba kwa Wewe kwa ukimya,
مَا هَكَذَا الظَّنُّ بِكَ وَلَا أُخْبِرْنَا بِفَضْلِكَ عَنْكَ
Mā hakadhā aẓ-ẓannu bika walā ʾukhbirnā bifaḍlika ʿanka
This is not how one should think of You, nor have we been informed of Your grace turning away from anyone,
Hivyo si dhana juu Yako wala hatukuwahi kuambiwa kuwa fadhili Yako inamtoka mtu yeyote,
يَا كَرِيمُ، يَا رَبِّ
Yā karīmu, yā rabbi
O Most Generous, O Lord,
Ee Mkarimu, Ee Mola,
وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ ضَعْفِي عَنْ قَلِيلٍ مِن بَلَاءِ الدُّنْيَا وَعُقُوبَاتِهَا،
Waʾanta taʿlamu ḍaʿfī ʿan qalīlin min balāʾi ad-dunyā waʿuqūbātihā,
and You know my weakness in bearing even a little of the trials and punishments of this world,
na Wewe unajua udhaifu wangu hata kuvumilia kidogo ya taabu na adhabu za dunia hii,
وَمَا يَجْرِي فِيهَا مِنَ الْمَكَارِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا
Wamā yajrī fīhā mina al-makārihi ʿalā ʾahlihā
and what evils befall its people,
na yale maovu yanayotokea kwa watu wake,
عَلَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ بَلَاءٌ وَمَكْرُوهٌ، قَلِيلٌ مَكْثُهُ، يَسِيرٌ بَقَاؤُهُ، قَصِيرٌ مُدَّتُهُ
ʿalā ʾanna dhalika balāʾun wamakrūhun, qalīlun makthuhu, yasīrun baqāʾuhu, qaṣīrun muddatuhu
knowing that such things are trials and disliked, their permanence is small, their continuance slight, and their duration brief,
kwa kujua kuwa hayo ni mitihani na yakatukuzwe, ubaki wake ni mdogo, uendelevu wake ni mdogo, na muda wake mfupi,
فَكَيْفَ احْتِمَالِي لِبَلَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَجَلِيلِ وُقُوعِ الْمَكَارِهِ فِيهَا!
Fakayfa aḥtimālī libalāʾi al-ākhirati wajalīli wuqūʿi al-makārihi fīhā!
so how then could I bear the trials of the Hereafter and the mighty occurrence of evils therein!
hivyo vipi ningeweza kuvumilia mitihani ya Akhera na tukio kuu la maovu ndani yake!
وَهُوَ بَلَاءٌ تَطُولُ مُدَّتُهُ، وَيَدُومُ مَقَامُهُ، وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ
Wahuwa balāʾun taṭūlu muddatuhu, wayadūmu maqāmuhu, walā yukhaffafu ʿan ʾahlihi
Whereas that (Hereafter) is a trial whose duration is long, whose state endures, and is not lightened for its people,
Wakati huo (Akhera) ni mtihani ambao muda wake ni mrefu, hali yake inadumu, na hauwezi upunguzwe kwa watu wake,
لأَنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا عَنْ غَضَبِكَ وَانْتِقَامِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ
Lʾannahu lā yakūnu ʾillā ʿan ghaḍabika wāntiqāmika wasakhaṭika
for it will only be because of Your wrath, vengeance, and displeasure,
kwa kuwa utakuwa kutokana na hasira Yako, kisasi Chako, na hasira Yako,
وَهَذَا مَا لا تَقُومُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ
Wahadhā mā lā taqūmu lahu as-samāwātu wālʾarḍu
and this is something the heavens and the earth cannot withstand,
na hili ni jambo ambalo mbingu na dunia haziwezi kuhimili,
يَا سَيِّدِي فَكَيْفَ بِي
Yā sayyidī fakayfa bī
O my Master, then how shall it be with me,
Ee Bwana wangu, basi nitakuwaje mimi,
وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ الضَّعِيفُ الذَّلِيلُ الْحَقِيرُ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُسْتَكِينُ
Waʾanā ʿabduka aḍ-ḍaʿīfu adh-dhalīlu al-ḥaqīru al-miskīnu al-mustakīnu
while I am Your weak, humbled, lowly, poor, and submissive servant,
nikiwa mimi mtumishi Wako dhaifu, aliyenyenyekea, mdogo, maskini, na mtii,
يَا إِلَهِي وَرَبِّي وَسَيِّدِي وَمَوْلاي
Yā ʾilahī warabbī wasayyidī wamawlāy
O my God, my Lord, my Master, and my Protector,
Ee Mungu wangu, Mola wangu, Bwana wangu, na Mlinzi wangu,
لِأَيِّ الأُمُورِ إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو
Liʾayyi al-ʾumūri ʾilayka ʾashkū
To which matters should I complain to You,
Kwa masuala gani niyekelee kwako,
وَلِمَا مِنْهَا أَضِجُّ وَأَبْكِي
Walimā minhā ʾaḍijju waʾabkī
and about which of them should I lament and weep?
na kwa yapi kati yake niite migogoro na kuniambia?
لأَلِيمِ الْعَذَابِ وَشِدَّتِهِ!
Lʾalīmi al-ʿadhābi washiddatihi!
For the painful torment and its severity!
Kwa adhabu yenye uchungu na ukali wake!
أَمْ لِطُولِ الْبَلاءِ وَمُدَّتِهِ!
ʾam liṭūli al-balāʾi wamuddatihi!
Or for the length of the trial and its duration!
Au kwa urefu wa mitihani na muda wake!
فَلَئِن صَيَّرْتَنِي لِلْعُقُوبَاتِ مَعَ أَعْدَائِكَ
Falaʾin ṣayyartanī lilʿuqūbāti maʿa ʾaʿdāʾika
So if You place me for punishment along with Your enemies,
Hivyo iwapo utanifanya niwe kwa adhabu pamoja na maadui zako,
وَجَمَعْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِ بَلائِكَ
Wajamaʿta baynī wabayna ʾahli balāʾika
and gather me with the people of Your affliction,
na unanikusanya mimi na watu wa mitihani Yako,
وَفَرَّقْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَحِبَّائِكَ وَأَوْلِيَائِكَ
Wafarraqta baynī wabayna ʾaḥibbāʾika waʾawliyāʾika
and separate me from Your loved ones and friends,
na unanitenganisha na wapenzi Wako na waja Wako wema,
فَهَبْنِي يَا إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي وَمَوْلاي وَرَبِّي صَبَرْتُ عَلَى عَذَابِكَ،
Fahabnī yā ʾilahī wasayyidī wamawlāy warabbī ṣabartu ʿalā ʿadhābika,
then grant me, O my God, my Master, my Lord, and my Protector, that I were to endure Your punishment,
basi nione Ee Mungu wangu, Bwana wangu, Mola wangu na Mlinzi wangu, nikivumilia adhabu Yako,
فَكَيْفَ أَصْبِرُ عَلَى فِرَاقِكَ
Fakayfa ʾaṣbiru ʿalā firāqika
but how could I endure separation from You?
lakini vipi ningeweza kuvumilia kutengana Nawe?
وَهَبْنِي صَبَرْتُ عَلَى حَرِّ نَارِكَ،
Wahabnī ṣabartu ʿalā ḥarri nārika,
And if I were to endure the heat of Your fire,
Na iwapo ningevumilia joto la moto Wako,
فَكَيْفَ أَصْبِرُ عَنِ النَّظَرِ إِلَى كَرَامَتِكَ
Fakayfa ʾaṣbiru ʿani an-naẓari ʾilā karāmatika
how could I endure being kept from looking upon Your generosity?
vipi ningeweza kuvumilia kunyimwa kuangalia ukarimu Wako?
أَمْ كَيْفَ أَسْكُنُ فِي النَّارِ وَرَجَائِي عَفْوُكَ
ʾam kayfa ʾaskunu fī an-nāri warajāʾī ʿafwuka
Or how could I dwell in the fire while my hope is in Your pardon?
Au vipi nitaishi motoni ilhali matumaini yangu yako katika msamaha Wako?
فَبِعِزَّتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَمَوْلاي أُقْسِمُ صَادِقاً، لَئِن تَرَكْتَنِي نَاطِقاً
Fabiʿizzatika yā sayyidī wamawlāy ʾuqsimu ṣādiq, laʾin taraktanī nāṭiq
So, by Your might, O my Master and Protector, I swear sincerely, if You leave me speaking,
Basi, kwa izza Yako, Ee Bwana wangu na Mlinzi wangu, naapa kwa ukweli, iwapo utaniniacha nikiwa na usemi,
لأَضِجَّنَّ إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهَا ضَجِيجَ الآمِلِينَ
Lʾaḍijjanna ʾilayka bayna ʾahlihā ḍajīja al-āmilīna
I will cry out to You among its inhabitants with the cry of those who hope,
nitakupigia kelele kati ya watu wake kwa kilio cha wenye matumaini,
وَلأَصْرُخَنَّ إِلَيكَ صُرَاخَ المُسْتَصْرِخِينَ
Walʾaṣrukhanna ʾilayka ṣurākha al-mustaṣrikhīna
and I will scream to You with the scream of those who cry for help,
na nitapiga mayowe kwako kwa sauti ya wenye kuomba msaada,
وَلأَبْكِيَنَّ عَلَيْكَ بُكَاءَ الفَاقِدِينَ
Walʾabkiyanna ʿalayka bukāʾa al-fāqidīna
and I will weep before You with the weeping of those who have lost,
na nitakulilia kwa machozi ya waliopoteza,
وَلأُنَادِيَنَّكَ أَيْنَ كُنتَ يَا وَلِيَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Walʾunādiyannaka ʾayna kunta yā waliyya al-muʾminīna
and I will call out to You: Where are You, O Guardian of the believers?
na nitakuita: Uko wapi, Ee Mlezi wa Waumini?
يَا غَايَةَ آمَالِ الْعَارِفِينَ
Yā ghāyata āmāli al-ʿārifīna
O ultimate hope of the gnostics,
Ee mwisho wa matumaini ya wanaomjua Mwenyezi Mungu,
يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ
Yā ghiyātha al-mustaghīthīna
O Helper of those who seek help,
Ee Msaidizi wa wanaotafuta msaada,
يَا حَبِيبَ قُلُوبِ الصَّادِقِينَ
Yā ḥabība qulūbi aṣ-ṣādiqīna
O Beloved of the hearts of the truthful,
Ee Mpenzi wa mioyo ya wakweli,
وَيَا إِلَهَ العَالَمِينَ
Wayā ʾilaha al-ʿālamīna
And O God of the worlds,
Na Ee Mungu wa walimwengu,
أَفَتُرَاكَ، سُبْحَانَكَ يَا إِلَهِي وَبِحَمْدِكَ، تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا صَوْتَ عَبْدٍ مُّسْلِمٍ
ʾafaturāka, subḥānaka yā ʾilahī wabiḥamdika, tasmaʿu fīhā ṣawta ʿabdin mmuslimin
Shall it be imagined, Glory be to You, O my God, and by Your praise, that You hear therein the voice of a Muslim servant,
Je, itawezekana, Ametakasika Wewe, Ee Mungu wangu, na kwa sifa zako, kwamba Usikie humo sauti ya mtumwa Mwislamu,
سُجِنَ فِيهَا بِمُخَالَفَتِهِ
Sujina fīhā bimukhālafatihi
Imprisoned therein because of his disobedience,
Aliyefungwa humo kwa sababu ya uasi wake,
وَذَاقَ طَعْمَ عَذَابِهَا بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ
Wadhāqa ṭaʿma ʿadhābihā bimaʿṣiyatihi
Who has tasted its torment due to his sin,
Ambaye ameonja adhabu yake kwa sababu ya maasi yake,
وَحُبِسَ بَيْنَ أَطْبَاقِهَا بِجُرْمِهِ وَجَرِيرَتِهِ
Waḥubisa bayna ʾaṭbāqihā bijurmihi wajarīratihi
And is confined within its layers because of his crime and offence,
Na amefungwa ndani ya tabaka zake kwa sababu ya kosa na makosa yake,
وَهُوَ يَضِجُّ إلَيْكَ ضَجِيجَ مُؤَمِّلٍ لِّرَحْمَتِكَ
Wahuwa yaḍijju ʾlayka ḍajīja muʾammilin lliraḥmatika
While he cries out to You with the cry of one hopeful for Your mercy,
Wakati analia kwako kwa kilio cha mwenye kutumaini rehema zako,
وَيُنَادِيكَ بِلِسَانِ أَهْلِ تَوْحِيدِكَ
Wayunādīka bilisāni ʾahli tawḥīdika
And calls upon You with the tongue of those who profess Your Oneness,
Na anakuita kwa ulimi wa wenye kukiri upweke wako,
وَيَتَوَسَّلُ إلَيْكَ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ
Wayatawassalu ʾlayka birubūbiyyatika
And seeks to draw near to You through Your Lordship,
Na anataka kukukaribia kupitia Uola wako,
يَا مَوْلاي فَكَيْفَ يَبقَى فِي الْعَذَابِ وَهُوَ يَرْجُو مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ حِلْمِكَ
Yā mawlāy fakayfa yabqā fī al-ʿadhābi wahuwa yarjū mā salafa min ḥilmika
O my Master, how can he remain in punishment while hoping for the patience You have shown before?
Ee Mola wangu, vipi anaweza kubaki katika adhabu huku akitarajia uvumilivu wako uliopita?
أَمْ كَيْفَ تُؤْلِمُهُ النَّارُ وَهُوَ يَامَلُ فَضْلَكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ
ʾam kayfa tuʾlimuhu an-nāru wahuwa yāmalu faḍlaka waraḥmataka
Or how can the fire harm him while he hopes for Your bounty and mercy?
Au vipi moto unaweza kumuumiza huku akitarajia fadhili na rehema zako?
أَمْ كَيْفَ يُحْرِقُهُ لَهِيبُهَا وَأَنتَ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ وَتَرَى مَكَانَهُ
ʾam kayfa yuḥriquhu lahībuhā waʾanta tasmaʿu ṣawtahu watarā makānahu
Or how can its flame burn him while You hear his voice and see his place?
Au vipi moto wake unaweza kumchoma huku Ukisikiliza sauti yake na kuona mahali pake?
أَمْ كَيْفَ يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهِ زَفِيرُهَا وَأَنتَ تَعْلَمُ ضَعْفَهُ
ʾam kayfa yashtamilu ʿalayhi zafīruhā waʾanta taʿlamu ḍaʿfahu
Or how can its exhalation affect him while You know his weakness?
Au vipi pumzi yake inaweza kumkabili huku Ukijua udhaifu wake?
أَمْ كَيْفَ يَتَقَلْقَلُ بَيْنَ أَطْبَاقِهَا وَأَنتَ تَعْلَمُ صِدْقَهُ
ʾam kayfa yataqalqalu bayna ʾaṭbāqihā waʾanta taʿlamu ṣidqahu
Or how can he toss between its layers while You know his sincerity?
Au vipi anaweza kutikisika kati ya safu zake huku Ukijua uaminifu wake?
أَمْ كَيْفَ تَزْجُرُهُ زَبَانِيَتُهَا وَهُوَ يُنَادِيكَ يَا رَبَّهُ
ʾam kayfa tazjuruhu zabāniyatuhā wahuwa yunādīka yā rabbahu
Or how can its guardians drive him away while he calls upon You, O Lord?
Au vipi walinzi wake wanaweza kumukandamiza huku akikuomba, Ee Bwana?
أَمْ كَيْفَ يَرْجُو فَضْلَكَ فِي عِتْقِهِ مِنْهَا فَتَتْرُكُهُ فِيهَا
ʾam kayfa yarjū faḍlaka fī ʿitqihi minhā fatatrukuhu fīhā
Or how can he hope for Your grace to be freed from it, and yet remain within it?
Au vipi anaweza kutarajia neema zako kuachiliwa, lakini bado akabaki ndani yake?
هَيهَاتَ مَا ذَلِكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ
Hayhāta mā dhalika aẓ-ẓannu bika
Far be it! That is not the thought of You,
Hakika si hivyo unavyotarajiwa,
وَلا الْمَعْرُوفُ مِن فَضْلِكَ
Walā al-maʿrūfu min faḍlika
Nor is it known from Your bounty,
Na wala si jambo la kawaida kutokana na fadhili zako,
وَلا مُشْبِهٌ لِمَا عَامَلْتَ بِهِ الْمُوَحِّدِينَ مِنْ بِرِّكَ وَإِحْسَانِكَ
Walā mushbihun limā ʿāmalta bihi al-muwaḥḥidīna min birrika waʾiḥsānika
Nor comparable to how You treated the monotheists with Your kindness and benevolence.
Na si kulinganishwa na jinsi ulivyowatendea waumini wa Tauhidi kwa wema na fadhili zako.
فَبِالْيَقِينِ أَقْطَعُ لَوْلا مَا حَكَمْتَ بِهِ مِن تَعْذِيبِ جَاحِدِيكَ
Fabiālyaqīni ʾaqṭaʿu lawlā mā ḥakamta bihi min taʿdhībi jāḥidīka
By certainty I would assert so — were it not for what You have decreed of the punishment of those who deny You.
Kwa hakika ningesema hivyo — kama si kwa ajili ya hukumu uliyoamua ya adhabu kwa wakukataa Wako.
وَقَضَيْتَ بِهِ مِنْ إِخْلاَدِ مُعَانِدِيكَ
Waqaḍayta bihi min ʾikhlādi muʿānidīka
And by it You have sentenced Your obstinate opponents to abide (there) forever.
Na kwa hiyo Umeamua kuwa wale wanaokataa watadumu (humo) milele.
لَجَعَلْتَ النَّارَ كُلَّهَا بَرْداً وَّسَلاَماً،
Lajaʿalta an-nāra kullahā bard wwasalām,
You could have made the whole Fire cool and safe,
Ungeweza kufanya Moto mzima kuwa baridi na salama,
وَمَا كَانَ لأَحَدٍ فِيهَا مَقَرّاً وَّلا مُقَاماً
Wamā kāna lʾaḥadin fīhā maqarr wwalā muqām
and no one therein would have a dwelling or abode.
na hapakuwa na mwenye makazi wala makao humo.
لَّكِنَّكَ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ أَقْسَمْتَ أَنْ تَمْلأَهَا مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ،
Llakinnaka taqaddasat ʾasmāʾuka ʾaqsamta ʾan tamlʾahā mina al-kāfirīna,
But exalted are Your Names — You have sworn to fill it with disbelievers,
Lakini Majina Yako yatetemeka kwa utukufu — Umeapa kuijaza kwa wasioamini,
مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
Mina al-jinnati wālnnāsi ʾajmaʿīna
from jinn and mankind altogether.
chini ya majini na wanadamu wote pamoja.
وَأَن تُخَلِّدَ فِيهَا الْمُعَانِدِينَ
Waʾan tukhallida fīhā al-muʿānidīna
and to make therein the obstinate live forever.
na kuifanya humo pale wale wanaokataa waishi milele.
وَأَنتَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ قُلْتَ مُبْتَدَئاً، وَّتَطَوَّلْتَ بِالإِنْعَامِ مُتَكَرِّماً:
Waʾanta jalla thanāʾuka qulta mubtadaʾ, wwataṭawwalta biālʾinʿāmi mutakarrim:
And You — glorious is Your praise — declared at the beginning, and in Your bounty You continued, generous:
Na Wewe — utukufu uwe kwako — uliyasema hapo mwanzo, na kwa fadhili Yako uliyainua kwa ukarimu:
أَفَمَن كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَن كَانَ فَاسِقًا ۚ لَّا يَسْتَوُونَ
ʾafaman kāna muʾminan kaman kāna fāsiqan llā yastawūna
Is he who is a believer like him who is a transgressor? They are not equal.
Je, amwaminiye ni sawa na mnafiki/muvunjaji wa sheria? Hawalingani.
إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي فَأَسْألُكَ بِالْقُدْرَةِ الَّتِي قَدَّرْتَهَا
ʾilahī wasayyidī faʾasʾluka biālqudrati at-tī qaddartahā
My God and my Master, I ask You by the power which You have ordained,
Mola wangu na Bwana wangu, nakuomba kwa uwezo uliouweka,
وَبِالْقَضِيَّةِ الَّتِي حَتَمْتَهَا وَحَكَمْتَهَا وَغَلَبْتَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرَيْتَهَا
Wabiālqaḍiyyati at-tī ḥatamtahā waḥakamtahā waghalabta man ʿalayhi ʾajraytahā
and by the decree which You have made certain and judged and by which You prevailed over those upon whom You carried it out,
na kwa hukumu uliyoikamilisha na kuiamuru, na kwa ile umewashinda wale uliowatekeleza kwake,
أَن تَهَبَ لِي، فِي هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ
ʾan tahaba lī, fī hdhihi al-laylati, wafī hadhihi as-sāʿati
that You grant me, in this night and in this hour,
utuboreshe kwangu, usiku huu na saa hii,
كُلَّ جُرْمٍ أَجْرَمْتُهُ
Kulla jurmin ʾajramtuhu
every crime I have committed,
kila kosa nililofanya,
وَكُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ
Wakulla dhanbin ʾadhnabtuhu
and every sin I have committed,
na kila dhambi niliyotenda,
