Dua Um Dawood as recorded in authentic Shia supplication manuals and traditions of the Holy Infallibles ('a).
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
اِلٰہِیْ لَا تُؤَدِّبْنِيْ بِعُقُوْبَتِكَ
O my God, do not discipline me with Your punishment
وَ لَا تَمْكُرْ بِيْ فِيْ حِيْلَتِكَ
and do not plot against me with Your stratagem
مِنْ اَيْنَ لِيَ الْخَيْرُ يَا رَبِّ
From where can I find goodness, O Lord?
وَ لَا يُوْجَدُ اِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ
while it cannot be found except with You
وَ مِنْ اَيْنَ لِيَ النَّجاةُ
And from where can I find salvation?
وَ لَا تُسْتَطَاعُ اِلَّا بِكَ
while it cannot be attained except through You
لَا الَّذِيْ اَحْسَنَ اسْتَغْنٰى عَنْ عَوْنِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ
The one who does good cannot dispense with Your help and mercy
وَ لَا الَّذِيْ اَسَاۤءَ وَ اجْتَرَا عَلَيْكَ وَ لَمْ يُرْضِكَ خَرَجَ عَنْ قُدْرَتِكَ
nor the one who does evil and dares to disobey You and displeases You escape from Your power
يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ
O Lord! O Lord! O Lord!
بِكَ عَرَفْتُكَ وَ اَنْتَ دَلَلْتَنِيْ عَلَيْكَ وَ دَعَوْتَنِيْ اِلَيْكَ
Through You I have known You, for You guided me to Yourself and called me towards You
وَ لَوْلَا اَنْتَ لَمْ اَدْرِ مَا انْتَ
And had it not been for You, I would not have known what You are
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِيْ اَدْعُوْهُ فَيُجِيْبُنِيْ وَ اِنْ كُنْتُ بَطِيْئًا حِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنِيْ
All praise is due to Allah whom I call and He answers me, even though I am slow when He calls me
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ اَسْاَلُهُ فَيُعْطِيْنِيْ وَ اِنْ كُنْتُ بَخِيْلًا حِيْنَ يَسْتَقْرِضُنِيْ
And praise be to Allah whom I ask and He gives me, even though I am miserly when He asks me for a loan
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِيْ اُنَادِيْهِ كُلَّمَا شِئْتُ لِحَاجَتِيْ
And praise be to Allah whom I call upon whenever I wish for my need
وَ اَخْلُوْ بِهٖ حَيْثُ شِئْتُ لِسِرِّيْ بِغَيْرِ شَفِيْعٍ فَيَقْضِىْ لِيْ حَاجَتِيْ
And I confide in Him whenever I wish for my secrets without an intercessor, and He fulfills my need
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِيْ لَا اَدْعُوْ غَيْرَهُ وَ لَوْ دَعَوْتُ غَيْرَهُ لَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لِيْ دُعَاۤئِـيْ
All praise is due to Allah whom I do not call upon anyone besides Him, and if I did, they would not answer my prayer
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِيْ لَا اَرْجُوْ غَيْرَهُ وَ لَوْ رَجَوْتُ غَيْرَهُ لَاَخْلَفَ رَجَاۤئِـيْ
And praise be to Allah in whom I place my hope and not others, for if I had hoped in others, my hope would have been in vain
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِيْ وَكَلَنِيْ اِلَيْهِ فَاَكْرَمَنِيْ وَ لَمْ يَكِلْنِيْ اِلَى النَّاسِ فَيُهِيْنُوْنِيْ
And praise be to Allah who entrusted me to Himself and so honored me, and did not entrust me to people who would humiliate me
وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِيْ تَحَبَّبَ اِلَىَّ وَ هُوَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِّيْ
And praise be to Allah who shows affection towards me though He has no need of me
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِيْ يَحْلُمُ عَنِّيْ حَتّٰى كَاَنِّيْ لَا ذَنْبَ لِيْ
And praise be to Allah who is forbearing with me as though I have no sin
فَرَبِّيْ اَحْمَدُ شَيْئٍ عِنْدِيْ وَ اَحَقُّ بِحَمْدِيْ
So my Lord is the most deserving of praise and the most worthy of my gratitude
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَجِدُ سُبُلَ الْمَطَالِبِ اِلَيْكَ مُشْرَعَةٌ
O Allah, I find the ways to my requests opened before You
وَ مَنَاهِلَ الرَّجَاۤءِ اِلَیْكَ مُتْرَعَةً
and the fountains of hope flowing abundantly towards You
وَ الْاِسْتِعَانَةَ بِفَضْلِكَ لِمَنْ اَمَّلَكَ مُبَاحَةً
and seeking help from Your grace is open to whoever hopes in You
وَ اَبْوابَ الدُّعَاۤءِ اِلَيْكَ لِلصَّارِخِيْنَ مَفْتُوْحَةً
And the doors of supplication to You are open for those who cry out
وَ اَعْلَمُ اَنَّكَ لِلرَّاجِيْ بِمَوْضِعِ اِجَابَةٍ
And I know that for the hopeful, You have a place of response
وَ لِلْمَلْهُوْفِيْنَ بِمَرْصَدِ اِغَاثَةٍ
And for the distressed, You are an observant helper
وَ اَنَّ فِي اللهْفِ اِلٰى جُوْدِكَ وَالرِّضَا بِقَضَاۤئِكَ عِوَضًا مِنْ مَنْعِ الْبَاخِلِيْنَ
And that yearning for Your generosity and acceptance of Your decree compensates for the withholding of the stingy
وَ مَنْدُوْحَةً عَمَّا فِيْ اَيْدِيْ الْمُسْتَاْثِرِيْنَ
And a relief from what is in the hands of the hoarders
وَ اَنَّ الرَّاحِلَ اِلَيْكَ قَرِيْبُ الْمَسَافَةِ
And that the one who journeys towards You is near in distance
وَ اَنَّكَ لَا تَحْتَجِبُ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَحْجُبَهُمُ الْاَعْمَالُ دُوْنَكَ
And that You do not hide from Your creation except that their deeds may conceal them from You
وَقَدْ قَصَدْتُ اِلَيْكَ بِطَلِبَتِي، وَ تَوَجَّهْتُ اِلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي
And I have directed myself to You with my request, and turned to You with my need
وَ جَعَلْتُ بِكَ اسْتِغاثَتِيْ، وَ بِدُعَاۤئِكَ تَوَسُّلِيْ مِنْ غَيْرِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ لِاسْتِمَاعِكَ مِنِّي
And I have made my plea through You, and my intercession by Your supplication without entitlement to Your listening to me
وَ لَا اسْتِيْجَابٍ لِعَفْوِكَ عَنِّيْ، بَلْ لِثِقَتِيْ بِكَرَمِكَ، وَ سُكُوْنِيْ اِلٰى صِدْقِ وَعْدِكَ
And it is not for response due to Your forgiveness of me, but because of my trust in Your generosity, and my reliance on the truth of Your promise
وَلَجَاۤئِـيْ اِلَى الْاِيْمَانِ بِتَوْحِيْدِكَ، وَ يَقِيْنِيْ بِمَعْرِفَتِكَ مِنِّيْ اَنْ لَا رَبَّ لِيْ غَيْرُكَ
And my refuge is in faith in Your Oneness, and my certainty in knowing that I have no Lord besides You
وَ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ
And there is no god but You alone; You have no partner
اَللّٰہُمَّ اَنْتَ الْقَاۤئِلُ وَ قَوْلُكَ حَقٌّ، وَ وَعْدُكَ صِدْقٌ
O Allah, You are the One Who speaks and Your word is true, and Your promise is truthful
وَاسْئَلُوْا اللّٰهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِیْمًا
And ask Allah from His bounty; indeed Allah has been Merciful to you
وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ صِفاتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِيْ اَنْ تَاْمُرَ بِالسُّؤَالِ وَ تَمْنَعَ الْعَطِيَّةَ
And it is not among Your attributes, my Master, to command asking and then withhold the gift
وَ اَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بِالْعَطِيّاتِ عَلٰى اَهْلِ مَمْلِكَتِكَ، وَ الْعَاۤئِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِتَحَنُّنِ رَاْفَتِكَ
And You are the Bestower of gifts to the people of Your dominion, and You return to them with Your compassionate mercy
اِلٰہِیْ رَبَّيْتَنِيْ فِيْ نِعَمِكَ وَ اِحْسَانِكَ صَغِيْرًا، وَ نَوَّهْتَ بِاسْمِيْ كَبِيْرًا
O my God, You nurtured me in Your blessings and kindness as a child, and made my name known as a great one
فَيَا مَنْ رَبَّانِيْ فِيْ الدُّنْيَا بِاِحْسَانِهِ وَ تَفَضُّلِهِ وَ نِعَمِهِ، وَ اَشارَلِيْ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلٰى عَفْوِهِ وَ كَرَمِهِ
O You who raised me in this world with Your kindness, favor, and blessings, and guided me in the Hereafter to Your forgiveness and generosity
مَعْرِفَتِيْ يَا مَوْلَايَ دَلِيْلِيْ عَلَيْكَ، وَ حُبِّيْ لَكَ شَفِيْعِيْ اِلَيْكَ
My knowledge of You, O my Master, is my guide to You, and my love for You is my intercessor with You
وَ اَنَا وَاثِقٌ مِنْ دَلِيْلِيْ بِدَلَالَتِكَ، وَ سَاكِنٌ مِنْ شَفِيْعِيْ اِلٰى شَفَاعَتِكَ
And I am confident in my guide by Your guidance, and at peace with my intercession through Your intercession
اَدْعُوْكَ يَا سَيِّدِيْ بِلِسَانٍ قَدْ اَخْرَسَهُ ذَنْبُهُ، رَبِّ اُنَاجِيْكَ بِقَلْبٍ قَدْ اَوْبَقَهُ جُرْمُهُ
I call upon You, O my Master, with a tongue silenced by its sins, and I converse with You with a heart pierced by its guilt
اَدْعُوْكَ يا رَبِّ رَاهِبًا رَاغِبًا، رَاجِيًا خَاۤئِفًا
I call upon You, O Lord, as one who is reverent and desirous, hopeful and fearful
اِذَا رَاَيْتُ مَوْلَايَ ذُنُوْبِيْ فَزِعْتُ، وَ اِذَا رَاَيْتُ كَرَمَكَ طَمِعْتُ
When I see, my Master, my sins, I panic; and when I see Your generosity, I am hopeful
فَاِنْ عَفَوْتَ فَخَيْرُ رَاحِمٍ، وَ اِنْ عَذَّبْتَ فَغَيْرُ ظَالِمٍ
If You forgive, You are the best of the merciful; and if You punish, You are not unjust
حُجَّتِيْ يَا اَللهُ فِيْ جُرْاَتِيْ عَلٰى مَسْئَلَتِكَ
My proof, O Allah, is in my boldness to ask of You
مَعَ اِتْيَانِيْ مَا تَكْرَهُ جُوْدُكَ وَ كَرَمُكَ
Along with my coming to You, may Your generosity and bounty not dislike it
وَ عُدَّتِيْ فِيْ شِدَّتِيْ مَعَ قِلَّةِ حَيَاۤئِـيْ رَافَتُكَ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ
And my support in my hardship, along with my modesty, is Your kindness and mercy
وَ قَدْ رَجَوْتُ اَنْ لَّا تَخِيْبَ بَيْنَ ذَيْنِ وَ ذَيْنِ مُنْيَتِيْ، فَحَقِّقْ رَجَاۤئِـيْ
And I have hoped that You will not disappoint my expectations, so fulfill my hopes
وَاسْمَعْ دُعَاۤئِـيْ ياَ خَيْرَ مَنْ دَعَاهُ دَاعٍ، وَ اَفْضَلَ مَنْ رَجَاهُ رَاجٍ
And hear my supplication, O best of those whom the caller calls, and the most excellent of those whom the hopeful hopes for
عَظُمَ يا سَيِّدِيْ اَمَلِيْ، وَ سٰۤاۤءَ عَمَلِيْ، فَاَعْطِنِيْ مِنْ عَفْوِكَ بِمِقْدَارِ اَمَلِيْ
My hope is great, O my Master, and my deeds are poor, so grant me from Your forgiveness in proportion to my hope
وَلَا تُؤَاخِذْنِيْ بِاَسْوَءِ عَمَلِيْ
And do not punish me for my bad deeds
فَاِنَّ كَرَمَكَ يَجِلُّ عَنْ مُجَازَاةِ الْمُذْنِبِيْنَ
Indeed, Your generosity surpasses the retribution of the sinners
وَ حِلْمَكَ يَكْبُرُ عَنْ مُكَافَاةِ الْمُقَصِّرِيْنَ
And Your forbearance exceeds the recompense for the negligent
وَ اَنَا يَا سَيِّدِيْ عَاۤئِذٌ بِفَضْلِكَ، هَارِبٌ مِنْكَ اِلَيْكَ
And I, O my Master, seek refuge in Your grace, fleeing from You to You
مُتَنَجِّزٌ مَا وَعَدْتَ مِنَ الصَّفْحِ عَمَّنْ اَحْسَنَ بِكَ ظَنًّا
And I cling to what You have promised of pardon for those who think well of You
وَمَا اَنَا يَا رَبِّ وَمَا خَطَرِيْ، هَبْنِيْ بِفَضْلِكَ
And what am I, O Lord, and what is my danger? Grant me Your grace
وَ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ
And bestow upon me Your forgiveness
اَيْ رَبِّ جَلِّلْنِيْ بِسَتْرِكَ
O Lord, envelop me with Your protection
وَاعْفُ عَنْ تَوْبِيْخِيْ بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ
And pardon my reprimand with the generosity of Your countenance
فَلَوِ اطَّلَعَ الْيَوْمَ عَلٰى ذَنْبِيْ غَيْرُكَ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ
If anyone else today had witnessed my sin, I would not have committed it
وَ لَوْ خِفْتُ تَعْجِيْلَ الْعُقُوْبَةِ لَاجْتَنَبْتُهُ
And if I feared the hastening of punishment, I would have avoided it
لَا لِاَنَّكَ اَهْوَنُ النَّاظِرِيْنَ وَ اَخَفُّ الْمُطَّلِعِيْنَ
Not because You are lenient among observers and the gentlest among those who behold
بَلْ لِاَنَّكَ يَا رَبِّ
But because You, O Lord...
خَيْرُ السَّاتِرِيْنَ، وَاَحْكَمُ الْحَاكِمِيْنَ، وَ اَكْرَمُ الْاَكْرَمِيْنَ، سَتَّارُ الْعُيُوْبِ، غَفّارُ الذُّنُوْبِ، عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوْبِ
The best of those who conceal faults, the wisest of judges, the most generous of the generous, Concealer of faults, Forgiver of sins, Knower of the unseen
تَسْتُرُ الذَّنْبَ بِكَرَمِكَ، وَ تُؤَخِّرُ الْعُقُوْبَةَ بِحِلْمِكَ
You conceal sin with Your generosity, and delay punishment with Your forbearance
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلٰى حِلْمِكَ بَعْدَ عِلْمِكَ، وَ عَلٰى عَفْوِكَ بَعْدَ قُدْرَتِكَ
So praise is for You for Your forbearance after Your knowledge, and for Your pardon after Your power
وَ يَحْمِلُنِيْ وَ يُجَرِّئُنِيْ عَلٰى مَعْصِيَتِكَ حِلْمُكَ عَنِّيْ
And Your forbearance carries me and emboldens me in disobedience to You
وَ يَدْعُوْنِيْ اِلٰى قِلَّةِ الْحَيَاۤءِ سِتْرُكَ عَلَيَّ
And it invites me to lack of modesty, while Your covering protects me
وَ يُسْرِعُنِيْ اِلَى التَّوَثُّبِ عَلٰى مَحَارِمِكَ مَعْرِفَتِيْ بِسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَ عَظِيْمِ عَفْوِكَ
And it hastens me toward violating Your prohibitions, while my knowledge of Your vast mercy and great pardon restrains me
يَا حَلِيْمُ يَا كَرِيْمُ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ، يَا غَافِرَ الذَّنْبِ، يَا قَابِلَ التَّوْبِ، يَا عَظِيْمَ الْمَنِّ، يَا قَدِيْمَ الْاِحْسَانِ
O Forbearing, O Generous, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, O Forgiver of sins, O Acceptor of repentance, O Magnificent in bounty, O Ancient in kindness
اَيْنَ سِتْرُكَ الْجَمِيْلُ، اَيْنَ عَفْوُكَ الْجَلِيْلُ، اَيْنَ فَرَجُكَ الْقَرِيْبُ، اَيْنَ غِيَاثُكَ السَّرِيْعُ
Where is Your beautiful covering, where is Your glorious pardon, where is Your near relief, where is Your swift succor
اَيْنَ رَحْمَتُكَ الْوَاسِعَةُ، اَيْنَ عَطَايَاكَ الْفَاضِلَةُ، اَيْنَ مَوَاهِبُكَ الْهَنِيْئَةُ
Where is Your vast mercy, where are Your excellent gifts, where are Your felicitous bounties
اَيْنَ صَنَاۤئِعُكَ السَّنِيَّةُ، اَيْنَ فَضْلُكَ الْعَظِيْمُ، اَيْنَ مَنُّكَ الْجَسِيْمُ، اَيْنَ اِحْسَانُكَ الْقَدِيْمُ، اَيْنَ كَرَمُكَ يَا كَرِيْمُ، بِهِ فَاسْتَنْقِذْنِيْ، وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَخَلِّصْنِيْ
Where are Your glorious deeds, where is Your great bounty, where is Your immense favor, where is Your ancient kindness, O Generous One? By them, rescue me, and by Your mercy, deliver me
يَا مُحْسِنُ يَا مُجْمِلُ، يَا مُنْعِمُ يَا مُفْضِلُ، لَسْتُ اَتَّكِلُ فِيْ النَّجاةِ مِنْ عِقابِكَ عَلٰى اَعْمَالِنَا، بَلْ بِفَضْلِكَ عَلَيْنَا
O Benefactor, O Beautifier, O Bestower, O Favourer, I do not rely on our deeds for safety from Your punishment, but on Your grace upon us
لِاَنَّكَ اَهْلُ التَّقْوٰى وَ اَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ تُبْدِئُ بِالْاِحْسَانِ نِعَمًا، وَ تَعْفُوْ عَنِ الذَّنْبِ كَرَمًا
Because You are worthy of piety and forgiveness, You begin with good deeds as blessings and pardon sin with generosity
فَمَا نَدْرِيْ مَا نَشْكُرُ، اَجَمِيْلَ مَا تَنْشُرُ، اَمْ قَبِيْحَ مَا تَسْتُرُ، اَمْ عَظِيْمَ مَا اَبْلَيْتَ وَ اَوْلَيْتَ، اَمْ كَثِيْرَ مَا مِنْهُ نَجَّيْتَ وَ عَافَيْتَ
So I do not know whether to thank for the beauty You spread, or the ugliness You conceal, or the greatness You inflict and bestow, or the abundance from which You save and protect
يَا حَبِيْبَ مَنْ تَحَبَّبَ اِلَيْكَ، وَ يَا قُرَّةَ عَيْنِ مَنْ لَّاذَ بِكَ وَانْقَطَعَ اِلَيْكَ، اَنْتَ الْمُحْسِنُ وَ نَحْنُ الْمُسِيْئُوْنَ
O beloved of those who love You, O joy of the eyes of those who seek refuge in You and turn to You, You are the Benefactor and we are the wrongdoers
فَتَجاوَزْ يَا رَبِّ عَنْ قَبِيْحِ مَا عِنْدَنَا بِجَمِيْلِ مَا عِنْدَكَ، وَ اَيُّ جَهْلٍ يَا رَبِّ لَا يَسَعُهُ جُوْدُكَ
So forgive, O Lord, the evil in us with the beauty of what You have, and any ignorance, O Lord, which Your generosity cannot contain
اَوْ اَيُّ زَمَانٍ اَطْوَلُ مِنْ انَاتِكَ، وَ مَا قَدْرُ اَعْمالِنَا فِيْ جَنْبِ نِعَمِكَ، وَ كَيْفَ نَسْتَكْثِرُ اَعْمالًا نُقَابِلُ بِهَا كَرَمَكَ
Or any time longer than Your patience, and the measure of our deeds beside Your blessings, and how can we increase deeds to match Your generosity
بَلْ كَيْفَ يَضِيْقُ عَلَى الْمُذْنِبِيْنَ مَا وَسِعَهُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ
Rather, how can what encompasses Your mercy be constraining for the sinners
يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ، يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، فَوَ عِزَّتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِيْ، لَوْ نَهَرْتَنِيْ مَا بَرِحْتُ مِنْ بَابِكَ
O Expansive in forgiveness, O One who extends hands with mercy, by Your glory, O my Lord, even if You scold me, I would not leave Your door
وَلَا كَفَفْتُ عَنْ تَمَلُّقِكَ، لِمَا انْتَهٰى اِلَيَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ بِجُوْدِكَ وَ كَرِمِكَ
Nor would I cease from seeking Your favor, for the knowledge that reaches me of Your generosity and bounty
وَ اَنْتَ الْفاعِلُ لِمَا تَشَاۤءُ تُعَذِّبُ مَنْ تَشَاۤءُ بِمَا تَشَاۤءُ كَيْفَ تَشَاۤءُ، وَ تَرْحَمُ مَنْ تَشَاۤءُ بِمَا تَشَاۤءُ كَيْفَ تَشَاۤءُ
And You are the doer of what You will; You punish whom You will with whatever You will, and You have mercy on whom You will with whatever You will
لَا تُسْئَلُ عَنْ فِعْلِكَ، وَ لَا تُنازَعُ فِيْ مُلْكِكَ، وَ لَا تُشارَكُ فِيْ اَمْرِكَ، وَ لَا تُضَاۤدُّ فِيْ حُكْمِكَ، وَ لَا يَعْتَرِضُ عَلَيْكَ اَحَدٌ فِيْ تَدْبِيْرِكَ
You are not questioned about Your actions, not disputed over Your dominion, not shared in Your matter, not opposed in Your judgment, and no one interferes in Your planning
لَكَ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْاَمْرُ، تَبارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ
All creation and command belong to You, Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds
يَا رَبِّ هٰذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ لَّاذَ بِكَ، وَاسْتَجَارَ بِكَرَمِكَ، وَ اَلِفَ اِحْسَانَكَ وَ نِعَمَكَ
O Lord, this is the station of one who seeks refuge in You, seeks Your grace, and is familiar with Your goodness and blessings
وَ اَنْتَ الْجَوادُ الَّذِيْ لَا يَضِيْقُ عَفْوُكَ، وَ لَا يَنْقُصُ فَضْلُكَ، وَ لَا تَقِلُّ رَحْمَتُكَ
And You are the Generous One whose pardon is never narrow, whose bounty never decreases, and whose mercy never lessens
وَ قَدْ تَوَثَّقْنَا مِنْكَ بِالصَّفْحِ الْقَدِيْمِ، وَ الْفَضْلِ الْعَظيمِ، وَ الرَّحْمَةِ الْواسِعَةِ
And we have relied on You for Your ancient pardon, Your great bounty, and Your vast mercy
اَفَتُرَاكَ يَا رَبِّ تُخْلِفُ ظُنُوْنَنَا
Do You, O Lord, fail the expectations we place in You?
اَوْ تُخَيِّبُ اَمَالَنَا، كَلَّا يَا كَرِيْمُ، فَلَيْسَ هٰذَا ظَنُّنَا بِكَ، وَ لَا هٰذَا فِيْكَ طَمَعُنَا يَا رَبِّ
Or do You disappoint our hopes? No, O Generous One, this is not our thought of You, nor is this our expectation of You, O Lord
اِنَّ لَنَا فِيْكَ اَمَلًا طَوِيْلًا كَثِيْرًا، اِنَّ لَنَا فِيْكَ رَجَاۤءً عَظِيْمًا
Indeed, we have in You a long and abundant hope, indeed we have in You a great expectation
عَصَيْنَاكَ وَ نَحْنُ نَرْجُوْ اَنْ تَسْتُرَ عَلَيْنَا، وَ دَعَوْنَاكَ وَ نَحْنُ نَرْجُوْ اَنْ تَسْتَجِيْبَ لَنَا
We have disobeyed You, yet we hope that You will cover us; we have called upon You, yet we hope that You will answer us
فَحَقِّقْ رَجَاۤءَنَا مَوْلَانَا، فَقَدْ عَلِمْنا مَا نَسْتَوْجِبُ بِاَعْمَالِنَا، وَ لٰكِنْ عِلْمُكَ فِيْنَا وَ عِلْمُنَا بِاَنَّكَ لَا تَصْرِفُنَا عَنْكَ
So fulfill our hope, our Master; for we know what we deserve by our deeds, but Your knowledge of us and our knowledge of You assures us that You will not turn us away
وَ اِنْ كُنَّا غَيْرَ مُسْتَوْجِبِيْنَ لِرَحْمَتِكَ، فَاَنْتَ اَهْلٌ اَنْ تَجُوْدَ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى الْمُذْنِبِيْنَ بِفَضْلِ سَعَتِكَ
And even if we are undeserving of Your mercy, You are worthy to bestow Your bounty upon us and the sinners by the vastness of Your grace
فَامْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِمَا اَنْتَ اَهْلُهُ، وَ جُدْ عَلَيْنَا فَاِنَّا مُحْتَاجُوْنَ اِلٰى نَيْلِكَ
So bestow upon us what You are worthy of, and be generous to us, for we are in need of attaining You
يَا غَفَّارُ بِنُوْرِكَ اهْتَدَيْنَا، وَ بِفَضْلِكَ اسْتَغْنَيْنَا، وَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ اَصْبَحْنَا وَ اَمْسَيْنَا
O Forgiver, by Your light we are guided, by Your grace we are enriched, and by Your blessing we begin our day and end our day
ذُنُوْبُنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ اللّٰهُمَّ مِنْهَا وَ نَتُوْبُ اِلَيْكَ
Our sins are before You; we seek Your forgiveness, O Allah, and turn to You in repentance
تَتَحَبَّبُ اِلَيْنَا بِالنِّعَمِ وَ نُعَارِضُكَ بِالذُّنُوْبِ
You bestow Your favors upon us while we oppose You with sins
خَيْرُكَ اِلَيْنَا نازِلٌ، وَ شَرُّنَا اِلَيْكَ صَاعِدٌ
Your good descends upon us, while our evil ascends to You
وَ لَمْ يَزَلْ وَ لَا يَزَالُ مَلَكٌ كَرِيْمٌ يَاْتِيْكَ عَنَّا بِعَمَلٍ قَبِيْحٍ
And there has always been, and still is, a noble angel who brings to You from us an evil deed
فَلَا يَمْنَعُكَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اَنْ تَحُوْطَنَا بِنِعَمِكَ، وَ تَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بِاٰلَاۤئِكَ
Yet that does not prevent You from surrounding us with Your blessings and favoring us with Your bounties
فَسُبْحَانَكَ مَا اَحْلَمَكَ وَ اَعْظَمَكَ وَ اَكْرَمَكَ مُبْدِئًا وَ مُعِيْدًا
So glory be to You; how patient, great, and generous You are, the Originator and Restorer
تَقَدَّسَتْ اَسْمَاؤُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ، وَ كَرُمَ صَنَاۤئِعُكَ وَ فِعَالُكَ
Glorified are Your names, exalted is Your praise, and noble are Your deeds and actions
اَنْتَ اِلٰہِیْ اَوْسَعُ فَضْلًا، وَ اَعْظَمُ حِلْمًا مِنْ اَنْ تُقَايِسَنِيْ بِفِعْلِيْ وَ خَطِيْئَتِيْ، فَالْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ
You, my God, are more generous in bounty and greater in forbearance than to measure me by my deeds and mistakes; pardon, pardon, pardon
سَيِّدِيْ سَيِّدِيْ سَيِّدِيْ۔ اَللّٰہُمَّ اشْغَلْنَا بِذِكْرِكَ، وَ اَعِذْنَا مِنْ سَخَطِكَ، وَ اَجِرْنَا مِنْ عَذَابِكَ
My Master, my Master, my Master. O Allah, occupy us with Your remembrance, protect us from Your wrath, and save us from Your punishment
وَ ارْزُقْنَا مِنْ مَوَاهِبِكَ، وَ اَنْعِمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
And grant us from Your gifts, and bless us with Your bounty
وَ ارْزُقْنَا حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ، وَ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتُكَ وَ رِضْوانُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلٰى اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
And grant us Hajj to Your House, and visitation of the grave of Your Prophet, may Your blessings, mercy, forgiveness, and pleasure be upon him and his household
اِنَّكَ قَرِيْبٌ مُجِيْبٌ، وَارْزُقْنَا عَمَلًا بِطَاعَتِكَ، وَ تَوَفَّنَا عَلٰى مِلَّتِكَ، وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ
Indeed, You are near and responsive. Grant us deeds of obedience, and let us die upon Your faith and the Sunnah of Your Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family
اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْلِيْ وَ لِوالِدَيَّ وَارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِيْ صَغِيْرًا، نِ اجْزِهِمَا بِالْاِحْسَانِ اِحْسَانًا وَ بِالسَّيِّئَاتِ غُفْرَانًا
O Allah, forgive me and my parents, and have mercy upon them as they raised me when I was small; reward them for good with goodness and for sins with forgiveness
اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْاَحيَاۤءِ مِنْهُمْ وَالْاَمْوَاتِ، وَ تابِعْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْخَيْراتِ
O Allah, forgive the believing men and women, living and deceased, and link us with them through good deeds
اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَ مَيِّتِنَا، وَ شَاهِدِنَا وَ غاۤئِبِنَا، ذَكَرِنَا وَ اُنْثَانَا، صَغِيْرِنَا وَ كَبِيْرِنَا، حُرِّنَا وَ مَمْلُوْكِنَا
O Allah, forgive our living and dead, our present and absent, our male and female, our young and old, our free and our servants
كَذَبَ الْعادِلُوْنَ بِاللهِ وَ ضَلُّوْا ضَلَالًا بَعِيْدًا، وَ خَسِرُوْا خُسْرَانًا مُبِيْنًا
Those who deny the truth about Allah have gone far astray and suffered evident loss
اَللّٰہُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَ اخْتِمْ لِيْ بِخَيْرٍ، وَ اكْفِنِيْ مَا اَهَمَّني مِنْ اَمْرِ دُنْيَايَ وَ اٰخِرَتِيْ
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family, conclude for me with good, and suffice me in what concerns me of my worldly and hereafter affairs
وَلَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ مَنْ لَّا يَرْحَمُنِيْ، وَاجْعَلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ وَاقِيَةً بَاقِيَةً، وَلَا تَسْلُبْنِيْ صَالِحَ مَا اَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ، وَارْزُقْنِيْ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ رِزْقًا وَاسِعًا حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا
And do not let over me anyone who will not have mercy on me, and make for me a lasting protection from You, and do not take away the good You have bestowed upon me, and grant me from Your bounty ample, lawful, and good sustenance
اَللّٰہُمَّ احْرُسْنِيْ بِحَرَاسَتِكَ، وَاحْفَظْنِيْ بِحِفْظِكَ، وَاكْلَانِيْ بِكِلٰۤاۤئَتِكَ
O Allah, guard me with Your guarding, preserve me with Your preservation, and sustain me with Your provision
وَارْزُقْنِيْ حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فِيْ عَامِنَا هذَا وَ فِيْ كُلِّ عَامٍ، وَ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ وَالْاَئِمَّةِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ، وَ لَا تُخْلِنِيْ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْمَشَاهِدِ الشَّرِيْفَةِ، وَ الْمَوَاقِفِ الْكَرِيْمَةِ
And grant me Hajj to Your Sacred House this year and every year, and the visitation of the grave of Your Prophet and the Imams, and do not forsake me, O Lord, from those noble sites and honored stations
اَللّٰہُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيَّ حَتّٰى لَا اَعْصِيَكَ، وَ اَلْهِمْنِيْ الْخَيْرَ وَ الْعَمَلَ بِهِ، وَ خَشْيَتَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهارِ مَا اَبْقَيْتَنِيْ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ
O Allah, turn me to You in repentance so that I do not disobey You, inspire me with good and to act upon it, and make me fear You day and night as long as You keep me alive, O Lord of the Worlds
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّيْ كُلَّمَا قُلْتُ قَدْ تَهَيَّاتُ وَ تَعَبَّاتُ وَ قُمْتُ لِلصَّلَاةِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ نَاجَيْتُكَ
O Allah, whenever I speak, I have been negligent and weary, and when I rise for prayer before You and supplicate to You
اَلْقَيْتَ عَلَيَّ نُعَاسًا اِذَا اَنَا صَلَّيْتُ، وَ سَلَبْتَنِيْ مُنَاجَاتَكَ اِذَا اَنَا نَاجَيْتُ
Sleep overwhelms me when I pray, and You withhold Your intimate guidance when I supplicate
مَالِيْ كُلَّمَا قُلْتُ قَدْ صَلَحَتْ سَرِيْرَتِيْ، وَ قَرُبَ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ التَّوّابِيْنَ مَجْلِسِيْ
Whenever I say that my state has been corrected, my position approaches the assembly of the repentant
عَرَضَتْ لِيْ بَلِيَّةٌ اَزَالَتْ قَدَمِيْ، وَ حَالَتْ بَيْنِيْ وَ بَيْنَ خِدْمَتِكَ
A calamity presented itself which removed my footing and prevented me from Your service
سَيِّدِيْ لَعَلَّكَ عَنْ بَابِكَ طَرَدْتَنِيْ، وَ عَنْ خِدْمَتِكَ نَحَّيْتَنِيْ
My Lord, perhaps You have driven me from Your door and removed me from Your service
اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَنِيْ مُسْتَخِفًّا بِحَقِّكَ فَاَقْصَيْتَنِيْ، اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَنِيْ مُعْرِضًا عَنْكَ فَقَلَيْتَنِيْ
Or perhaps You saw me neglecting Your right and thus rejected me, or turning away from You and thus diminished me
اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَنِيْ فِيْ مَقَامِ الْكَاذِبِيْنَ فَرَفَضْتَنِيْ، اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَنِيْ غَيْرَ شَاكِرٍ لِنَعْمَاۤئِكَ فَحَرَمْتَنِيْ
Or perhaps You found me among the liars and rejected me, or saw me ungrateful for Your favors and thus deprived me
اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ فَقَدْتَنِيْ مِنْ مَجالِسِ الْعُلَمَاۤءِ فَخَذَلْتَنِيْ، اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَنِيْ فِى الْغَافِلِيْنَ فَمِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ اٰيَسْتَنِيْ
Or perhaps You deprived me from the assemblies of the learned and let me down, or saw me among the heedless so I despaired of Your mercy
اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَنِيْ اٰلِفَ مَجَالِسِ الْبَطَّالِيْنَ فَبَيْنِيْ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ خَلَّيْتَنِيْ
Or perhaps You saw me among countless gatherings of the idle and left me apart from them
اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ لَمْ تُحِبَّ اَنْ تَسْمَعَ دُعَاۤئِيْ فَبَاعَدْتَنِيْ
Or perhaps You did not wish to hear my supplication and thus kept me distant
اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ بِجُرْمِيْ وَ جَرِيْرَتِيْ كَافَيْتَنِيْ، اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ بِقِلَّةِ حَيَاۤئِـيْ مِنْكَ جَازَيْتَنِيْ
Or perhaps You deemed my sins and their consequences sufficient for me, or punished me for my lack of modesty toward You
فَاِنْ عَفَوْتَ يَا رَبِّ فَطَالَ مَا عَفَوْتَ عَنِ الْمُذْنِبِيْنَ قَبْلِيْ، لِاَنَّ كَرَمَكَ اَيْ رَبِّ يَجِلُّ عَنْ مُكَافَاتِ الْمُقَصِّرِيْنَ، وَ اَنَا عَاۤئِذٌ بِفَضْلِكَ، هَارِبٌ مِنْكَ اِلَيْكَ، مُتَنَجِّزٌ مَا وَعَدْتَ مِنَ الصَّفْحِ عَمَّنْ اَحْسَنَ بِكَ ظَنًّا
If You forgive, O Lord, You have long forgiven the sinners before me, for Your generosity, O Lord, is far above requiting the shortcomings of the deficient. I seek refuge in Your bounty, fleeing from You to You, relying upon what You have promised of pardon to those who think well of You.
اِلٰہِیْ اَنْتَ اَوْسَعُ فَضْلًا، وَ اَعْظَمُ حِلْمًا مِنْ اَنْ تُقايِسَنِيْ بِعَمَلِيْ اَوْ اَنْ تَسْتَزِلَّنِيْ بِخَطِيْئَتِيْ، وَ مَا اَنَا يَا سَيِّدِيْ وَ مَا خَطَرِيْ، هَبْنِيْ بِفَضْلِكَ سَيِّدِيْ، وَ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ، وَ جَلِّلْنِيْ بِسِتْرِكَ، وَاعْفُ عَنْ تَوْبِيْخِيْ بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ
My God, You are more bountiful and greater in forbearance than to measure me by my deeds or ensnare me by my sin. What am I, O my Master, and what is my worth? Grant me by Your grace, O my Master, be charitable to me with Your pardon, cover me with Your concealment, and spare me Your reproach by the nobility of Your Face.
سَيِّدِي اَنَا الصَّغِيْرُ الَّذِيْ رَبَّيْتَهُ، وَ اَنَا الْجاهِلُ الَّذِيْ عَلَّمْتَهُ، وَ اَنَا الضَّالُّ الَّذِيْ هَدَيْتَهُ، وَ اَنَا الْوَضِيْعُ الَّذِيْ رَفَعْتَهُ، وَ اَنَا الْخَاۤئِفُ الَّذِيْ اٰمَنْتَهُ
My Master, I am the small one whom You nurtured, the ignorant one whom You taught, the lost one whom You guided, the lowly one whom You elevated, the fearful one whom You secured.
وَ الْجَايِعُ الَّذِيْ اَشْبَعْتَهُ، وَ الْعَطْشَانُ الَّذِيْ اَرْوَيْتَهُ، وَ الْعَارِي الَّذِيْ كَسَوْتَهُ، وَ الْفَقيرُ الَّذِيْ اَغْنَيْتَهُ، وَ الضَّعِيْفُ الَّذِيْ قَوَّيْتَهُ
And I am the hungry one whom You satisfied, the thirsty one whom You quenched, the naked one whom You clothed, the poor one whom You enriched, the weak one whom You strengthened.
وَ الذَّلِيْلُ الَّذِيْ اَعْزَزْتَهُ، وَ السَّقِيْمُ الَّذِيْ شَفَيْتَهُ، وَ السَّاۤئِلُ الَّذِي اَعْطَيْتَهُ، وَ الْمُذْنِبُ الَّذِيْ سَتَرْتَهُ، وَ الْخَاطِئُ الَّذِيْ اَقَلْتَهُ
And the humiliated one whom You honored, the sick one whom You healed, the beggar one whom You gave, the sinner one whom You concealed, the wrongdoer one whom You forgave.
وَ اَنَا الْقَلِيْلُ الَّذِيْ كَثَّرْتَهُ، وَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفُ الَّذِيْ نَصَرْتَهُ، وَ اَنَا الطَّرِيْدُ الَّذِيْ اٰوَيْتَهُ
And I am the little one whom You multiplied, the oppressed one whom You supported, the outcast one whom You sheltered.
اَنَا يَا رَبِّ الَّذِيْ لَمْ اَسْتَحْيِكَ فِى الْخَلَاۤءِ، وَ لَمْ اُرَاقِبْكَ فِى الْمَلَاۤءِ، اَنَا صَاحِبُ الدَّوَاهِي الْعُظْمٰى، اَنَا الَّذِيْ عَلٰى سَيِّدِهِ اجْتَرٰى
I am, O Lord, the one who did not feel shame before You in private, nor observed You in public. I am the companion of great calamities; I am the one who dared against his Master.
اَنَا الَّذِيْ عَصَيْتُ جَبَّارَ السَّمَاۤءِ، اَنَا الَّذِي اعْطَيْتُ عَلٰى مَعَاصِىْ الْجَلِيْلِ الرُّشَا، اَنَا الَّذِيْ حِيْنَ بُشِّرْتُ بِهَا خَرَجْتُ اِلَيْهَا اَسْعٰى
I am the one who disobeyed the Almighty of the heavens; I am the one who offered bribes for the disobedience of the Great One; I am the one who, when given the glad tidings of it, rushed towards it.
اَنَا الَّذِيْ اَمْهَلْتَنِيْ فَمَا ارْعَوَيْتُ، وَ سَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ فَمَا اسْتَحْيَيْتُ، وَ عَمِلْتُ بِالْمَعَاصِيْ فَتَعَدَّيْتُ، وَ اسْقَطْتَنِيْ مِنْ عَيْنِكَ فَمَا بَالَيْتُ
I am the one whom You gave respite but I did not take heed; You covered me but I did not feel shame; I committed sins and transgressed; You dropped me from Your eye but I did not care.
فَبِحِلْمِكَ اَمْهَلْتَنِيْ وَ بِسِتْرِكَ سَتَرْتَنِيْ حَتّٰى كَانَّكَ اَغْفَلْتَنِيْ، وَ مِنْ عُقُوْبَاتِ الْمَعَاصِيْ جَنَّبْتَنِيْ حَتّٰى كَانَّكَ اسْتَحْيَيْتَنِيْ
By Your forbearance You gave me respite, and by Your concealment You covered me until it was as if You overlooked me, and from the consequences of sins You kept me away until it was as if You felt shame on my behalf.
اِلٰہِیْ لَمْ اَعْصِكَ حِيْنَ عَصَيْتُكَ وَ اَنَا بِرُبُوْبِيَّتِكَ جَاحِدٌ، وَ لَا بِاَمْرِكَ مُسْتَخِفٌّ، وَ لَا لِعُقُوْبَتِكَ مُتَعَرِّضٌ، وَ لَا لِوَعِيْدِكَ مُتَهَاوِنٌ
My God, I did not truly disobey You when I sinned, nor did I deny Your Lordship, nor was I careless of Your command, nor did I expose myself to Your punishment, nor did I neglect Your warnings.
لٰكِنْ خَطِيْۤئَةٌ عَرَضَتْ وَ سَوَّلَتْ لِيْ نَفْسِيْ، وَ غَلَبَنِيْ هَوَايَ، وَ اَعَانَنِيْ عَلَيْهَا شِقْوَتِيْ، وَ غَرَّنِيْ سِتْرُكَ الْمُرْخٰى عَلَيَّ، فَقَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ وَ خَالَفْتُكَ بِجُهْدِيْ
But a sin presented itself and tempted my soul, my desire overcame me, my misfortune assisted me in it, and Your gentle concealment deceived me; thus I disobeyed You and opposed You with my effort.
فَالْاٰنَ مِنْ عَذَابِكَ مَنْ يَسْتَنْقِذُنِيْ، وَ مِنْ اَيْدِيْ الْخُصَمَاۤء غَدًا مِنْ يُخَلِّصُنِيْ، وَ بِحَبْلِ مَنْ اَتَّصِلُ اِنْ اَنْتَ قَطَعْتَ حَبْلَكَ عَنِّيْ
So now, from Your punishment, who will rescue me? And from the hands of adversaries tomorrow, who will save me? And by whose rope shall I hold if You cut Your rope from me?
فَوَاسَوْاَتَا عَلٰى مَا اَحْصٰى كِتَابُكَ مِنْ عَمَلِي الَّذِيْ لَوْلَا مَا اَرْجُوْ مِنْ كَرَمِكَ وَ سَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ نَهْيِكَ اِيَّايَ عَنِ الْقُنُوْطِ لَقَنَطْتُ عِنْدَمَا اَتَذَكَّرُهَا
And I have taken comfort in what Your Book has counted of my deeds; were it not for my hope in Your generosity, the vastness of Your mercy, and Your forbidding me from despair, I would have despaired when I remember them.
يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ دَعَاهُ دَاعٍ، وَ اَفْضَلَ مَنْ رَجَاهُ رَاجٍ۔ اَللّٰہُمَّ بِذِمَّةِ الْاِسْلَامِ اَتَوَسَّلُ اِلَيْكَ
O the best of those whom the caller calls, and the most excellent of those whom the hopeful hopes for. O Allah, by the bond of Islam, I supplicate to You.
وَ بِحُرْمَةِ الْقُرْاٰنِ اَعْتَمِدُ اِلَيْكَ، وَ بِحُبِّي النَّبِيَّ الْاُمِّيَّ الْقُرَشِيَّ الْهَاشِمِيَّ الْعَرَبِيَّ التَّهَامِيَّ الْمَكِّيَّ الْمَدَنِيَّ ارْجُوْ الزُّلْفَةَ لَدَيْكَ
And by the sanctity of the Qur'an I rely upon You, and by my love for the unlettered Prophet, the Qurayshi, Hashemi, Arab, Tihami, Makki, and Madani, I hope for nearness to You.
فَلَا تُوْحِشِ اسْتِيْنَاسَ اِيْمَانِيْ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْ ثَوَابِيْ ثَوَابَ مَنْ عَبَدَ سِوَاكَ
So do not make the solace of my faith lonely, and do not make my reward the reward of those who worship others besides You.
فَاِنَّ قَوْمًا اٰمَنُوْا بِاَلْسِنَتِهِمْ لِيَحْقِنُوْا بِهِ دِمَاۤءَهُمْ فَاَدْرَكُوْا مَا اَمَّلُوْا، وَ اِنَّا اٰمَنَّا بِكَ بِاَلْسِنَتِنَا وَ قُلُوْبِنَا لِتَعْفُوَ عَنَّا، فَادْرِكْنَا مَا اَمَلْنَا
For indeed there are people who believed with their tongues to preserve their blood, and they achieved what they hoped for; and we believed in You with our tongues and hearts so that You may forgive us, so fulfill what we hope for.
وَ ثَبِّتْ رَجَاۤئَكَ فِيْ صُدُوْرِنَا، وَ لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوْبَنَا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا، وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْوَهّابُ
And strengthen our hope in You within our hearts, and do not let our hearts deviate after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from Yourself, indeed You are the Bestower.
فَوَعِزَّتِكَ لَوِ انْتَهَرْتَنِيْ مَا بَرِحْتُ مِنْ بَابِكَ، وَ لَا كَفَفْتُ عَنْ تَمَلُّقِكَ لِمَا اُلْهِمَ قَلْبِيْ مِنَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ بِكَرَمِكَ وَ سَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ
By Your honor, if You were to rebuke me, I would not leave Your door, and I would not cease my entreaty to You for what my heart has been inspired with of knowledge of Your generosity and the vastness of Your mercy.
اِلٰى مَنْ يَذْهَبُ الْعَبْدُ اِلَّا اِلٰى مَوْلَاهُ، وَ اِلٰى مَنْ يَلْتَجِئُ الْمَخْلُوْقُ اِلَّا اِلٰى خَالِقِهِ
To whom does the servant go except to his Master? And to whom does the creature seek refuge except to its Creator?
اِلٰہِیْ لَوْ قَرَنْتَنِيْ بِالْاَصْفَادِ، وَ مَنَعْتَنِيْ سَيْبَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْاَشْهَادِ، وَ دَلَلْتَ عَلٰى فَضَايِحِيْ عُيُوْنَ الْعِبَادِ، وَ اَمَرْتَ بِيْ اِلَى النَّارِ، وَ حُلْتَ بَيْنِيْ وَ بَيْنَ الْاَبْرَارِ، مَا قَطَعْتُ رَجَاۤئِـيْ مِنْكَ
My God, even if You were to bind me with chains, withhold Your grace from me among witnesses, expose my faults to the eyes of the servants, order me to the Fire, and separate me from the righteous, I would not abandon my hope in You.
وَمَا صَرَفْتُ تَامِيْلِيْ لِلْعَفْوِ عَنْكَ، وَ لَا خَرَجَ حُبُّكَ مِنْ قَلْبِيْ، اَنَا لَا اَنْسٰى اَيَادِيَكَ عِنْدِيْ، وَ سَتْرَكَ عَلَيَّ فِيْ دَارِ الدُّنْيَا
And I have not turned my desire for Your forgiveness aside, nor has Your love left my heart. I do not forget Your favors upon me, and Your protection remains with me in this world.
سَيِّدِيْ اَخْرِجْ حُبَّ الدُّنْيَا مِنْ قَلْبِيْ، وَاجْمَعْ بَيْني وَ بَيْنَ الْمُصْطَفٰى وَ اٰلِهِ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ
My Master, remove the love of the world from my heart, and unite me with the Chosen One and his family, Your best among Your creation, and the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family.
وَ انْقُلْنِيْ اِلٰى دَرَجَةِ التَّوْبَةِ اِلَيْكَ، وَ اَعِنّي بِالْبُكَاۤءِ عَلٰى نَفْسِيْ، فَقَدْ اَفْنَيْتُ بِالتَّسْوِيْفِ وَالْاٰمَالِ عُمْرِيْ
And transfer me to the station of repentance towards You, and assist me in weeping over myself, for I have spent my life in procrastination and vain hopes.
وَ قَدْ نَزَلْتُ مَنْزِلَةَ الاٰيِسِيْنَ مِنْ خَيْرِيْ، فَمَنْ يَكُوْنُ اَسْوَءَ حَالًا مِنِّيْ اِنْ اَنَا نُقِلْتُ عَلٰى مِثْلِ حَالِيْ
And I have descended to the state of those despairing of my good. Who could be in a worse state than I, if I am transferred to a state like mine?
اِلٰى قَبْرِيْ، لَمْ اُمَهِّدْهُ لِرَقْدَتِيْ، وَ لَمْ اَفْرُشْهُ بِالْعَمَلِ الصّالِحِ لِضَجْعَتِيْ
To my grave, which I did not prepare with my righteous deeds for my resting, nor did I lay it with good works for my repose.
وَ مَالِيْ لَا اَبْكِيْ وَ لَا اَدْرِيْ اِلٰى مَا يَكُوْنُ مَصِيْرِيْ، وَ اَرٰى نَفْسِيْ تُخادِعُنِيْ، وَ اَيَّامِيْ تُخَاتِلُنِيْ
Why do I not weep, and I do not know what my final destiny will be? I see my soul deceiving me, and my days conspiring against me.
وَ قَدْ خَفَقَتْ عِنْدَ رَاسِيْ اَجْنِحَةُ الْمَوْتِ، فَمَالِيْ لَا اَبْكِيْ، اَبْكِيْ لِخُرُوْجِ نَفْسِيْ
And the wings of death have fluttered over my head; why do I not weep? I weep for the departure of my soul.
اَبْكِيْ لِظُلْمَةِ قَبْرِيْ، اَبْكِيْ لِضِيْقِ لَحَدِيْ، اَبْكي لِسُؤَالِ مُنْكَرٍ وَ نَكِيْرٍ اِيَّايَ
I weep for the darkness of my grave, I weep for the narrowness of my tomb, I weep for the questioning by Munkar and Nakir.
اَبْكي لِخُرُوْجِيْ مِنْ قَبْرِيْ عُرْيَانًا ذَلِيْلًا حَامِلًا ثِقْلِيْ عَلٰى ظَهْرِيْ
I weep for my emergence from my grave naked and humiliated, carrying my burdens upon my back.
اَنْظُرُ مَرَّةً عَنْ يَمِيْنِيْ وَ اُخْرٰى عَنْ شِمَالِيْ
I look once to my right and once to my left.
اِذِالْخَلَاۤئِقُ فِيْ شَانٍ غَيْرِ شَانِيْ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَانٌ يُغْنِيْهِ
When the creatures are in a state unlike their usual, each person will have a state that suffices him on that Day.
وُجُوْهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ وَ وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ وَ ذِلَّةٌ
Faces on that Day will be bright, smiling, rejoicing, and other faces will be covered with dust, darkness, and humiliation.
سَيِّدِيْ عَلَيْكَ مُعَوَّلِيْ وَ مُعْتَمَدِيْ وَ رَجَاۤئِيْ وَ تَوَكُّلِيْ، وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَلُّقِيْ
My Master, You are my reliance, my dependence, my hope, and my trust; by Your mercy, I am attached.
تُصِيْبُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مَنْ تَشَاۤءُ وَ تَهْدِيْ بِكَرَامَتِكَ مَنْ تُحِبُّ
You bestow Your mercy upon whom You will, and guide by Your generosity whom You love.
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلٰى مَا نَقَّيْتَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ قَلْبِيْ
All praise is to You for purifying my heart from polytheism.
وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلٰى بَسْطِ لِسَانِيْ
All praise is to You for the extension of my tongue.
اَفَبِلِسَانِيْ هٰذَا الْكَالِّ اَشْكُرُكَ، اَمْ بِغايَةِ جَهْدِيْ فِيْ عَمَلِيْ اُرْضِيْكَ
Should I thank You with this tongue of mine, or by the utmost effort of my deeds to please You?
وَ مَا قَدْرُ لِسَانِيْ يَا رَبِّ في جَنْبِ شُكْرِكَ
And the capacity of my tongue, O my Lord, is insufficient in comparison to Your gratitude.
وَ مَا قَدْرُ عَمَلِيْ فِيْ جَنْبِ نِعَمِكَ وَ اِحْسانِكَ
And what is the worth of my deeds compared to Your blessings and kindness?
اِلٰہِیْ اِنَّ جُوْدَكَ بَسَطَ اَمَلِيْ، وَ شُكْرَكَ قَبِلَ عَمَلِيْ
O my God, indeed Your generosity has extended my hope, and Your gratitude has accepted my deeds.
سَيِّدِيْ اِلَيْكَ رَغْبَتِيْ، وَ اِلَيْكَ رَهْبَتِيْ، وَ اِلَيْكَ تَامِيْلِيْ
My Master, to You is my desire, to You is my fear, and to You is my hope.
وَ قَدْ سَاقَنِيْ اِلَيْكَ اَمَلِيْ، وَ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَاحِدِيْ عَكَفَتْ هِمَّتِيْ، وَ فِيْمَا عِنْدَكَ انْبَسَطَتْ رَغْبَتِيْ
My hope has driven me to You, and upon You, O my One, my resolve has focused, and in what You possess my desire has expanded.
وَ لَكَ خالِصُ رَجَاۤئِـيْ وَ خَوْفِيْ، وَ بِكَ اَنِسَتْ مَحَبَّتِيْ، وَ اِلَيْكَ اَلْقَيْتُ بِيَدِيْ
And to You alone belongs my pure hope and fear, and with You my love has found intimacy, and to You I have surrendered myself.
وَ بِحَبْلِ طَاعَتِكَ مَدَدْتُ رَهْبَتِيْ
And by the rope of Your obedience I have extended my awe.
يَا مَوْلَايَ بِذِكْرِكَ عَاشَ قَلْبِيْ، وَ بِمُنَاجَاتِكَ بَرَّدْتُ اَلَمَ الْخَوْفِ عَنِّيْ
O my Master, by Your remembrance my heart lives, and through Your supplication I have alleviated the pain of fear from me.
فَيَا مَوْلَايَ وَ يَا مُؤَمَّلِيْ وَ يَا مُنْتَهٰى سُؤْلِيْ فَرِّقْ بَيْنِيْ وَ بَيْنَ ذَنْبِيَ الْمَانِعِ لِيْ مِنْ لُزُوْمِ طَاعَتِكَ
So, O my Master, O my hope, and O ultimate goal of my request, separate me from my sin that prevents me from fulfilling Your obedience.
فَاِنَّمَا اَسْئَلُكَ لِقَدِيْمِ الرَّجَاۤءِ فِيْكَ، وَ عَظِيْمِ الطَّمَعِ مِنْكَ، الَّذِيْ اَوْجَبْتَهُ عَلٰى نَفْسِكَ مِنَ الرَّافَةِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ
For I ask You only by the ancient hope in You, and the immense expectation from You, which You have mandated upon Yourself out of grace and mercy.
فَالْاَمْرُ لَكَ، وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ، وَ الْخَلْقُ كُلُّهُمْ عِيالُكَ وَ فِيْ قَبْضَتِكَ، وَ كُلُّ شَيْئٍ خاضِعٌ لَكَ، تَبارَكْتَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ
So the matter is Yours, You alone have no partner, and all creation are Your dependents and in Your control, and everything is subjected to You. Blessed are You, O Lord of the worlds.
اِلٰہِیْ اِرْحَمْنِيْ اِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ حُجَّتِيْ وَ كَلَّ عَنْ جَوابِكَ لِسَانِيْ، وَ طَاشَ عِنْدَ سُؤالِكَ اِيَّايَ لُبِّيْ
O my God, have mercy on me if my proof is cut off, and my tongue fails in answering You, and my heart errs in seeking from You.
فَيَا عَظِيْمَ رَجَاۤئِـيْ لَا تُخَيِّبْنِيْ اِذََا اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتِيْ، وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِيْ لِجَهْلِيْ
So, O Great of my hope, do not disappoint me when my need intensifies, and do not repel me because of my ignorance.
وَ لَا تَمْنَعْنِيْ لِقِلَّةِ صَبْرِيْ، اَعْطِنِيْ لِفَقْرِيْ وَارْحَمْنِيْ لِضَعْفِيْ، سَيِّدِيْ عَلَيْكَ مُعْتَمَدِيْ وَ مُعَوَّلِيْ وَ رَجاۤئِـيْ وَ تَوَكُّلِيْ، وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَلُّقي، وَ بِفَنَاۤئِكَ اَحُطُّ رَحْلِيْ، وَ بِجُوْدِكَ اَقْصِدُ طَلِبَتِيْ، وَ بِكَرَمِكَ اَيْ رَبِّ اَسْتَفْتِحُ دُعَاۤئِـيْ، وَ لَدَيْكَ اَرْجُوْ فَاقَتِيْ، وَ بِغِنَاكَ اَجْبُرُ عَيْلَتِيْ، وَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ عَفْوِكَ قِيَامِيْ، وَ اِلٰى جُوْدِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ اَرْفَعُ بَصَرِيْ، وَ اِلٰى مَعْرُوْفِكَ اُدِيْمُ نَظَرِيْ، فَلَا تُحْرِقْنِيْ بِالنَّارِ وَ اَنْتَ مَوْضِعُ اَمَلي، وَ لَا تُسْكِنِّىِ الْهاوِيَةَ فَاِنَّكَ قُرَّةُ عَيْنِيْ، يَا سَيِّدِيْ لَا تُكَذِّبْ ظَنِّيْ بِاِحْسَانِكَ وَ مَعْرُوْفِكَ فَاِنَّكَ ثِقَتِيْ، وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِيْ ثَوَابَكَ فَاِنَّكَ الْعَارِفُ بِفَقْرِيْ۔
And do not withhold from me because of my little patience. Grant me because of my poverty and have mercy on me because of my weakness. My Master, upon You is my reliance, my trust, my hope, and my dependence. With Your mercy is my attachment, at Your threshold I set down my burden, with Your generosity I seek my need, and by Your nobility, O my Lord, I begin my supplication. With You I hope to fulfill my poverty, with Your richness I mend my destitution, under the shade of Your pardon is my standing. To Your generosity and nobility I raise my sight, to Your kindness I prolong my gaze. So do not burn me in the Fire while You are the source of my hope, and do not lodge me in the pit, for You are the coolness of my eyes. O my Master, do not disappoint my assumption about Your goodness and kindness, for You are my trust. And do not deprive me of Your reward, for You know my poverty.
اِلٰہِیْ اِنْ كَانَ قَدْ دَنَا اَجَلِيْ وَ لَمْ يُقَرِّبْنِيْ مِنْكَ عَمَلِيْ فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ الْاِعْتِرَافَ اِلَيْكَ بِذَنْبِيْ وَسَاۤئِلَ عِلَلِيْ،
O my God, if my appointed time has drawn near and my deeds have not brought me closer to You, then indeed I have made confession to You of my sin and I have placed my excuses before You.
اِلٰہِیْ اِنْ عَفَوْتَ فَمَنْ اَوْلٰى مِنْكَ بِالْعَفْوِ، وَ اِنْ عَذَّبْتَ فَمَنْ اَعْدَلُ مِنْكَ فِي الْحُكْمِ، اِرْحَمْ فِيْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا غُرْبَتِيْ، وَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ كُرْبَتِيْ، وَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَحْدَتِيْ، وَ فِيْ اللَّحْدِ وَحْشَتِيْ،
O my God, if You forgive then who is more worthy than You to forgive? And if You punish then who is more just than You in judgment? Have mercy upon my estrangement in this world, and at death my distress, and in the grave my loneliness, and in the burial my isolation.
وَ اِذَا نُشِرْتُ لِلْحِسَابِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ ذُلَّ مَوْقِفِيْ، وَاغْفِرْ لِيْ مَا خَفِيَ عَلَى الْاٰدَمِيِّيْنَ مِنْ عَمَلِيْ، وَ اَدِمْ لِيْ مَا بِهِ سَتَرْتَنِيْ، وَ ارْحَمْنِيْ سَرِيْعًا عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ تُقَلِّبُنِيْ اَيْدِيْ اَحِبَّتِيْ، وَ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ مَمْدُوْدًا عَلَى الْمُغْتَسَلِ يُقَلِّبُنِيْ صَالِحُ جِيْرَتِيْ،
And when I am raised for the reckoning before You, my position will be one of humility. Forgive me for what is hidden from mankind of my deeds, and continue for me the cover by which You concealed me. Have mercy on me swiftly when on the bed I am turned by the hands of my loved ones, and bestow upon me when extended upon the washing place and turned by my righteous neighbors.
وَ تَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ مَحْموُلًا قَدْ تَنَاوَلَ الْاَقْرِبَاۤءُ اَطْرَافَ جَنَازَتِيْ، وَ جُدْ عَلَيَّ مَنْقُوْلًا قَدْ نَزَلْتُ بِكَ وَحِيْدًا فِيْ حُفْرَتِيْ، وَ ارْحَمْ في ذٰلِكَ الْبَيْتِ الْجَدِيْدِ غُرْبَتِيْ، حَتّٰى لَا اَسْتَانِسَ بِغَيْرِكَ۔
And have compassion on me when carried, as my relatives grasp the edges of my funeral bier. Be generous to me when moved, as I have descended alone into my grave. Have mercy upon my estrangement in that new house, until I find comfort with none but You.
يَا سَيِّدِيْ اِنْ وَكَلْتَنِيْ اِلٰى نَفْسِيْ هَلَكْتُ، سَيِّدِيْ فَبِمَنْ اَسْتَغِيْثُ اِنْ لَمْ تُقِلْنِيْ عَثَرْتِيْ، فَاِلىٰ مَنْ اَفْزَعُ اِنْ فَقَدْتُ عِنَايَتَكَ فِيْ ضَجْعَتِيْ،
O my Master, if You entrust me to myself I am doomed. My Master, then to whom shall I cry for help if You do not forgive my slip? And to whom shall I flee if I lose Your care in my resting place?
وَ اِلٰى مَنْ اَلْتَجِئُ اِنْ لَمْ تُنَفِّسْ كُرْبَتِيْ سَيِّدِيْ مَنْ لِيْ وَ مَنْ يَرْحَمُنِيْ اِنْ لَمْ تَرْحَمْنِيْ، وَ فَضْلَ مَنْ اُؤَمِّلُ اِنْ عَدِمْتُ فَضْلَكَ يَوْمَ فَاقَتِيْ، وَ اِلٰى مَنِ الْفِرَارُ مِنَ الذُّنُوْبِ اِذََا انْقَضٰى اَجَلِيْ، سَيِّدِيْ لَا تُعَذِّبْنِيْ وَ اَنَا اَرْجُوْكَ،
And to whom shall I turn if You do not relieve my distress, my Master? Who else has mercy on me if You do not have mercy? Whose bounty shall I hope for if Your grace is absent on the day of my hardship? And to whom shall I flee from sins if my appointed time passes? My Master, do not punish me while I place my hope in You.
اِلٰہِیْ حَقِّقْ رَجَاۤئِـيْ، وَ اٰمِنْ خَوْفِيْ، فَاِنَّ كَثْرَةَ ذُنُوْبِيْ لَا اَرْجُوْ فِيْهَا اِلَّا عَفْوَكَ، سَيِّدِيْ اَنَا اَسْئَلُكَ مَا لَا اَسْتَحِقُّ وَ اَنْتَ اَهْلُ التَّقْوٰى وَ اَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ،
O my God, fulfill my hope and secure my fear, for in the multitude of my sins I hope only for Your forgiveness. My Master, I ask of You what I do not deserve, and You are the Worthy of piety and the Forgiving.
فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ وَ اَلْبِسْنِيْ مِنْ نَظَرِكَ ثَوْبًا يُغَطِّيْ عَلَيَّ التَّبِعَاتِ، وَ تَغْفِرُهَا لِيْ وَ لَا اُطَالَبُ بِهَا، اِنَّكَ ذُوْ مَنٍّ قَدِيْمٍ، وَ صَفْحٍ عَظِيْمٍ، وَ تَجَاوُزٍ كَرِيْمٍ۔
So forgive me and clothe me with a garment from Your sight that covers my shortcomings, forgive them for me and do not hold me accountable for them. Indeed, You are of Ancient Grace, of Great Forgiveness, and of Noble Pardon.
اِلٰہِیْ اَنْتَ الَّذِيْ تُفيضُ سَيْبَكَ عَلٰى مَنْ لَّا يَسْئَلُكَ وَ عَلَى الْجَاحِدِيْنَ بِرُبُوْبِيَّتِكَ، فَكَيْفَ سَيِّدِيْ بِمَنْ سَئَلَكَ وَ اَيْقَنَ اَنَّ الْخَلْقَ لَكَ، وَ الْاَمْرَ اِلَيْكَ، تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ۔
O my God, You are the One who bestows Your bounty upon those who do not ask and upon those who deny Your Lordship. How then, my Master, shall You treat the one who asks of You and is certain that all creation belongs to You and the command is Yours? Blessed and Exalted are You, O Lord of the worlds.
سَيِّدِيْ عَبْدُكَ بِبَابِكَ اَقَامَتْهُ الْخَصَاصَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ يَقْرَعُ بَابَ اِحْسَانِكَ بِدُعَاۤئِهِ، فَلَا تُعْرِضْ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيْمِ عَنِّيْ، وَاقْبَلْ مِنِّيْ مَا اَقُوْلُ، فَقَدْ دَعَوْتُ بِهٰذَا الدُّعَاۤءِ وَ اَنَا اَرْجُوْ اَنْ لَّا تَرُدَّنِيْ، مَعْرِفَةً مِنِّيْ بِرَافَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ،
My Master, Your servant stands at Your door in need, knocking at the door of Your kindness with his supplication. So do not turn away Your noble face from me, and accept from me what I say, for I have called upon You with this supplication hoping that You will not reject me, in acknowledgment of Your mercy and compassion.
اِلٰہِیْ اَنْتَ الَّذِيْ لَا يُحْفِيْكَ سَاۤئِلٌ، وَ لَا يَنْقُصُكَ نَاۤئِلٌ، اَنْتَ كَمَا تَقُوْلُ وَ فَوْقَ مَا نَقُوْلُ۔
O my God, You are the One whom no petitioner can exhaust, and no seeker can diminish. You are as You say and beyond what we speak.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْئَلُكَ صَبْرًا جَمِيْلًا، وَ فَرَجًا قَرِيْبًا، وَ قَوْلًا صَادِقًا، وَ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا،
O Allah, I ask You for beautiful patience, near relief, truthful speech, and great reward.
اَسْئَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَ مَا لَمْ اَعْلَمْ،
I ask You, O my Lord, for all good, that which I know and that which I do not know.
اَسْئَلُكَ اللّٰہُمَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَئَلَكَ مِنْهُ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُوْنَ،
I ask You, O Allah, for the best of what Your righteous servants have asked from You.
يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ سُئِلَ، وَ اَجْوَدَ مَنْ اَعْطٰى، اَعْطِني سُؤْلِيْ فِيْ نَفْسِيْ وَ اَهْلِيْ وَ وَالِدَيَّ وَ وَلَدِيْ وَ اَهْلِ حُزَانَتِيْ وَ اِخْوَانِيْ فِيْكَ، وَ اَرْغِدْ عَيْشِيْ، وَ اَظْهِرْ مُرُوَّتِيْ، وَ اَصْلِحْ جَمِيْعَ اَحْوَالِيْ، وَاجْعَلْنِيْ مِمَّنْ اَطَلْتَ عُمْرَهُ، وَ حَسَّنْتَ عَمَلَهُ، وَ اَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَتَكَ، وَ رَضِيْتَ عَنْهُ وَ اَحْيَيْتَهُ حَيٰوةً طَيِّبَةً فِيْ اَدْوَمِ السُّرُوْرِ، وَ اَسْبَغِ الْكَرَامَةِ، وَ اَتَمِّ الْعَيْشِ، اِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَشَاۤءُ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ غَيْرُكَ۔
O Best of those asked and Most Generous of those who give, grant me my request for myself, my family, my parents, my children, my loved ones, and my brothers in You. Make my life comfortable, manifest my honor, rectify all my affairs, make me among those whose lives You have prolonged, whose deeds You have beautified, whose blessings You have perfected, who are pleased with You, who You have given a good life full of joy, and grant me generosity and complete livelihood. Truly, You do as You will, and none besides You can act as You do.
اَللّٰہُمَّ خُصَّنِيْ مِنْكَ بِخَاۤصَّةِ ذِكْرِكَ، وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ شَيْئًا مِمَّا اَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ فِيْ اٰنَاۤءِ اللَّيْلِ وَ اَطْرَافِ النَّهَارِ رِيَاۤءً وَ لَا سُمْعَةً وَ لَا اَشَرًا وَ لَا بَطَرًا، وَ اجْعَلْنِيْ لَكَ مِنَ الْخَاشِعِيْنَ۔
O Allah, make me exclusively devoted to You through the remembrance of You. Let nothing I do in the nights or the days be for show, fame, arrogance, or pride, and make me among the humble devoted to You.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اَعْطِنِى السِّعَةَ فِي الرِّزْقِ، وَ الْاَمْنَ فِي الْوَطَنِ، وَ قُرَّةَ الْعَيْنِ فِي الْاَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ، وَ الْمُقَامَ فِيْ نِعَمِكَ عِنْدِيْ، وَ الصِّحَّةَ فِى الْجِسْمِ، وَ الْقُوَّةَ فِي الْبَدَنِ، وَ السَّلَامَةَ فِى الدِّيْنِ، وَاسْتَعْمِلْنِيْ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُوْلِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ اَبَدًا مَّا اسْتَعْمَرَتْنِيْ،
O Allah, grant me abundance in provision, security in my homeland, delight in family, wealth, and children, a lasting enjoyment of Your blessings, health in my body, strength in my limbs, safety in my religion, and make me serve You and obey Your Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) for as long as I live.
وَاجْعَلْنِيْ مِنْ اَوْفَرِ عِبَادِكَ عِنْدَكَ نَصِيْبًا في كُلِّ خَيْرٍ اَنْزَلْتَهُ وَ تُنْزِلُهُ فِيْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِيْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
And make me among Your most favored servants, with a share in every good You have sent down and will send down in the month of Ramadan on the Night of Qadr.
وَمَا اَنْتَ مُنْزِلُهُ فِيْ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ تَنْشُرُهَا، وَ عَافِيَةٍ تُلْبِسُهَا، وَ بَلِيَّةٍ تَدْفَعُهَا، وَ حَسَنَاتٍ تَتَقَبَّلُهَا، وَ سَيِّئَاتٍ تَتَجَاوَزُ عَنْهَا
And whatever You send down each year of mercy to spread, health to clothe, calamity to avert, good deeds to accept, and sins to overlook.
وَارْزُقْنِيْ حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فِيْ عَامِنَا هٰذَا وَ فِيْ كُلِّ عَامٍ
And grant me the pilgrimage to Your Sacred House in this year and every year.
وَارْزُقْنِيْ رِزْقًا وَاسِعًا مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ
And provide me abundant sustenance from Your vast bounty.
وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّيْ يَا سَيِّدِي الْاَسْوَاۤءَ، وَ اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ وَ الظُّلَامَاتِ، حَتّٰى لَا اَتَاَذّٰى بِشَيْئٍ مِنْهُ
And avert from me, O my Master, all evils; and settle my debts and wrongs, so that I am harmed by none of them.
وَخُذْ عَنِّيْ بِاَسْمَاعِ وَ اَبْصَارِ اَعْدَاۤئِـيْ وَ حُسَّادِيْ وَ الْبَاغِيْنَ عَلَيَّ، وَ انْصُرْنِيْ عَلَيْهِمْ
And protect me from the ears and eyes of my enemies, my envious ones, and those who oppress me; and grant me victory over them.
وَ اَقِرَّ عَيْنِيْ وَ فَرِّحْ قَلْبِيْ، وَ اجْعَلْ لِيْ مِنْ هَمِّيْ وَ كَرْبِيْ فَرَجًا وَ مَخْرَجًا
And comfort my eyes, gladden my heart, and provide relief and an outlet for my worries and distress.
وَ اجْعَلْ مَنْ اَرَادَنِيْ بِسُوْۤءٍ مِنْ جَمِيْعِ خَلْقِكَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ
And make whoever intends evil against me from all Your creation under my feet.
وَاكْفِنِيْ شَرَّ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَ شَرَّ السُّلْطَانِ، وَ سَيِّئَاتِ عَمَلِيْ
And protect me from the evil of Satan, the evil of tyrants, and the evil of my own deeds.
وَ طَهِّرْنِيْ مِنَ الذُّنُوْبِ كُلِّهَا، وَ اَجِرْنِيْ مِنَ النَّارِ بِعَفْوِكَ، وَ اَدْخِلْنِى الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، وَ زَوِّجْنِيْ مِنَ الْحُوْرِالْعِيْنِ بِفَضْلِكَ
And purify me from all sins, save me from the Fire by Your forgiveness, admit me into Paradise by Your mercy, and marry me to the pure companions of Paradise by Your bounty.
وَ اَلْحِقْنِيْ بِاَوْلِيَاۤئِكَ الصَّالِحِيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِهِ الْاَبْرَارِ الطَّيِّبِيْنَ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ الْاَخْيَارِ، صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلٰۤى اَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ اَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
And join me with Your righteous friends, Muhammad and his pure, good, and virtuous family, may Your blessings be upon them, their bodies, and their souls, and may Allah’s mercy and blessings be with them.
اِلٰہِیْ وَ سَيِّدِيْ وَ عِزَّتِكَ وَ جَلَالِكَ لَئِنْ طَالَبَتْنِيْ بِذُنُوْبِيْ لَاُطَالِبَنَّكَ بِعَفْوِكَ، وَ لَئِنْ طَالَبَتْنِيْ بِلُؤْمِيْ لَاُطَالِبَنَّكَ بِكَرَمِكَ
My God, my Master, by Your might and majesty, if my sins call me, I will call upon You with Your forgiveness; and if my misdeeds confront me, I will call upon You with Your generosity.
وَلَئِنْ اَدْخَلْتَنِى النَّارَ لَاُخْبِرَنَّ اَهْلَ النَّارِ بِحُبِّيْ لَكَ، اِلٰہِیْ وَ سَيِّدِيْ اِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَغْفِرُ اِلَّا لِاَوْلِيَاۤئِكَ وَ اَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ فَاِلٰى مَنْ يَفْزَعُ الْمُذْنِبُوْنَ
And if You admit me to the Fire, I will inform its inhabitants of my love for You. My God and Master, if You forgive only Your friends and those who obey You, then to whom shall the sinners turn?
وَاِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تُكْرِمُ اِلَّا اَهْلَ الْوَفَاۤءِ بِكَ فَبِمَنْ يَسْتَغيثُ الْمُسِيْۤئُوْنَ
And if You honor only those loyal to You, then whom shall the wrongdoers seek for help?
اِلٰہِیْ اِنْ اَدْخَلْتَنِى النَّارَ فَفِيْ ذٰلِكَ سُرُوْرُ عَدُوِّكَ، وَ اِنْ اَدْخَلْتَنِى الْجَنَّةَ فَفِيْ ذٰلِكَ سُرُوْرُ نَبِيِّكَ
My God, if You admit me to the Fire, it will delight Your enemy; and if You admit me to Paradise, it will delight Your Prophet.
وَ اَنَا وَاللهِ اَعْلَمُ اَنَّ سُرُوْرَ نَبِيِّكَ اَحَبُّ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ سُرُوْرِ عَدُوِّكَ
And I swear by Allah, I know that the delight of Your Prophet is more beloved to You than the delight of Your enemy.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْئَلُكَ اَنْ تَمْلَاَ قَلْبِيْ حُبًّا لَكَ، وَ خَشْيَةً مِّنْكَ، وَ تَصْدِيْقًا بِكِتَابِكَ، وَ اِيْمَانًا بِكَ، وَ فَرَقًا مِنْكَ، وَ شَوْقًا اِلَيْكَ
O Allah, I ask You to fill my heart with love for You, fear of You, belief in Your Book, faith in You, separation from anything contrary to You, and longing for You.
يَا ذَاالْجَلَالِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِ حَبِّبْ اِلَيَّ لِقَاۤءَكَ وَ اَحْبِبْ لِقَاۤئِـيْ، وَ اجْعَلْ لِيْ فِيْ لِقَاۤئِكَ الرّاحَةَ وَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْكَرَامَةَ
O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, make me love meeting You, make meeting me beloved to You, and grant me comfort, relief, and honor in Your presence.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اَلْحِقْنِيْ بِصَالِحِ مَنْ مَضٰى، وَ اجْعَلْنِيْ مِنْ صَالِحِ مَنْ بَقِيَ وَ خُذْ بِيْ
O Allah, join me with the righteous of those who have passed, make me among the righteous of those who remain, and guide me.
وَ طَهِّرْنِيْ مِنَ الذُّنُوْبِ كُلِّهَا، وَ اَجِرْنِيْ مِنَ النَّارِ بِعَفْوِكَ، وَ اَدْخِلْنِى الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، وَ زَوِّجْنِيْ مِنَ الْحُوْرِالْعِيْنِ بِفَضْلِكَ

O Allah, join me with the righteous of those who have passed, make me among the righteous of those who remain, and guide me.
سَبِيْلَ الصّالِحِيْنَ، وَ اَعِنِّيْ عَلٰى نَفْسِيْ بِمَا تُعِيْنُ بِهِ الصَّالِحِيْنَ عَلٰى اَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَاخْتِمْ عَمَلِيْ بِاَحْسَنِهِ، وَاجْعَلْ ثَوَابِيْ مِنْهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ
On the path of the righteous, and help me with what You help the righteous with for themselves; and conclude my deeds with the best, and make my reward from it Paradise by Your mercy.
وَ اَعِنّي عَلٰى صَالِحٍ مَا اَعْطَيْتَنِيْ، وَ ثَبِّتْنِيْ يَا رَبِّ، وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِيْ فِيْ سُوْءٍ اِسْتَنْقَذْتَنِيْ مِنْهُ يَا رَبِّ الْعالَمِيْنَ
And help me to do good with what You have given me, and make me steadfast, O Lord, and do not return me to any evil from which You have rescued me, O Lord of the worlds.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْئَلُكَ اِيْمَانًا لَا اَجَلَ لَهُ دُوْنَ لِقَاۤئِكَ، اَحْيِنِيْ مَا اَحْيَيْتَنِيْ عَلَيْهِ وَ تَوَفَّنِيْ اِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِيْ عَلَيْهِ، وَ ابْعَثْنِيْ اِذَا بَعَثْتَنِيْ عَلَيْهِ
O Allah, I ask You for faith that has no end until meeting You; let me live by it as long as You let me live, and let me die upon it when You cause me to die, and raise me upon it when You resurrect me.
وَاَبْرِءْ قَلْبِيْ مِنَ الرِّيَاۤءِ وَ الشَّكِّ وَ السُّمْعَةِ فِيْ دِيْنِكَ، حَتّٰى يَكُوْنَ عَمَلِيْ خَالِصًا لَكَ
And purify my heart from ostentation, doubt, and seeking fame in Your religion, until my deeds are purely for You.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اَعْطِنِيْ بَصِيْرَةً فِيْ دِيْنِكَ، وَ فَهْمًا فِيْ حُكْمِكَ، وَ فِقْهًا فِيْ عِلْمِكَ، وَ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَ وَرَعًا يَحْجُزُنِيْ عَنْ مَعَاصِيْكَ
O Allah, grant me insight in Your religion, understanding of Your judgment, comprehension of Your knowledge, a double portion of Your mercy, and piety that restrains me from disobedience.
وَبَيِّضْ وَجْهِيْ بِنُوْرِكَ، وَاجْعَلْ رَغْبَتِيْ فِيْمَا عِنْدَكَ، وَ تَوَفَّنِيْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِكَ
And brighten my face with Your light, make my desire for what is with You, and let me die in Your path.
وَ عَلٰى مِلَّةَ رَسُوْلِكَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ۔ اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُبِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَالْفَشَلِ وَالْهَمِّ وَ الْجُبْنِ وَ الْبُخْلِ وَ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ الْقَسْوَةِ وَ الْمَسْكَنَةِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْفاقَةِ وَ كُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ، وَالْفَوٰاحِشِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ
And upon the religion of Your Messenger (peace be upon him and his family). O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness, failure, anxiety, cowardice, miserliness, negligence, hardness, destitution, poverty, and every calamity, and from immorality, both apparent and hidden.
وَ اَعُوْذُبِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَّا تَقْنَعُ، وَ بَطْنٍ لَّا يَشْبَعُ، وَ قَلْبٍ لَّا يَخْشَعُ، وَ دُعَاۤءٍ لَّا يُسْمَعُ، وَ عَمَلٍ لَّا يَنْفَعُ
I seek refuge in You from a soul that is never satisfied, a belly that is never full, a heart that does not humble itself, prayers that are unheard, and deeds that do not benefit.
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ عَلٰى نَفْسِيْ وَ دِيْنِيْ وَ مَالِيْ وَ عَلٰى جَمِيْعِ مَا رَزَقْتَنِيْ مِنَ الشَّيْطانِ الرَّجِيْمَ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ
And I seek refuge in You, O Lord, over my soul, my religion, my wealth, and all that You have provided me from the accursed Satan. Indeed, You are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنَّهُ لَا يُجِيْرُنِيْ مِنْكَ اَحَدٌ، وَ لَا اَجِدُ مِنْ دُوْنِكَ مُلْتَحَدًا، فَلَا تَجْعَلْ نَفْسِيْ فِيْ شَيْئٍ مِنْ عَذَابِكَ، وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِيْ بِهَلَكَةٍ وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِيْ بِعَذًابٍ اَلِيْمٍ
O Allah, indeed none can protect me from You, and I find no refuge except with You. So do not place my soul in any of Your punishment, nor return me in destruction or painful torment.
اَللّٰہُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّيْ وَ اَعْلِ ذِكْرِيْ، وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِيْ، وَ حُطَّ وِزْرِيْ، وَلَا تَذْكُرْنِيْ بِخَطِيْئَتِيْ، وَاجْعَلْ ثَوَابَ مَجْلِسِيْ وَ ثَوَابَ مَنْطِقِيْ وَ ثَوابَ دُعَاۤئِـيْ رِضَاكَ وَالْجَنَّةَ
O Allah, accept from me, raise my remembrance, elevate my rank, remove my burdens, do not mention me with my sins, and make the reward of my gathering, my speech, and my supplication Your pleasure and Paradise.
وَاعْطِنِيْ يَا رَبِّ جَمِيْعَ مَا سَئَلْتُكَ، وَ زِدْنِيْ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، اِنِّيْ اِلَيْكَ رَاغِبٌ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ
And grant me, O Lord, all that I have asked from You, and increase me from Your bounty. Indeed, I turn to You in desire, O Lord of the worlds.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنَّكَ اَنْزَلْتَ فِيْ كِتابِكَ اَنْ نَعْفُوَ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَنَا، وَ قَدْ ظَلَمْنَا اَنْفُسَنَا فَاعْفُ عَنَّا، فَاِنَّكَ اَوْلٰى بِذٰلِكَ مِنَّا
O Allah, You revealed in Your Book that we should forgive those who wrong us, and indeed we have wronged ourselves, so forgive us; surely You are best suited to do this for us.
وَ اَمَرْتَنَا اَنْ لَّا نَرُدَّ سَاۤئِلًا عَنْ اَبْوَابِنَا، وَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ سَاۤئِلًا فَلَا تَرُدَّنِيْ اِلَّا بِقَضَاۤءِ حَاجَتِيْ
And You commanded us not to turn away anyone who asks at our doors, and indeed I have come to You asking, so do not turn me away except by fulfilling my need.
وَ اَمَرْتَنَا بِالْاِحْسَانِ اِلٰى مَا مَلَكَتْ اِيْمَانُنَا، وَ نَحْنُ اَرِقَّاۤؤُكَ فَاَعْتِقْ رِقَابَنَا مِنَ النَّارِ
And You commanded us to be good to what our right hands possess, and we are Your weak ones, so free our necks from the Fire.
يَا مَفْزَعِيْ عِنْدَ كُرْبَتِيْ، وَ يَا غَوْثِيْ عِنْدَ شِدَّتِيْ، اِلَيْكَ فَزِعْتُ وَ بِكَ اسْتَغَثْتُ وَ لُذْتُ، لَاۤ اَلُوْذُ بِسِوَاكَ وَلَا اَطْلُبُ الْفَرَجَ اِلَّا مِنْكَ
O my refuge in my distress, and O my helper in my hardship, I turn to You and seek aid from You alone; I seek no protection and relief except from You.
فَاَغِثْنِيْ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّيْ، يَا مَنْ يَّفُكُّ الْاَسِيْرَ، وَ يَعْفُوْ عَنِ الْكَثِيْرِ اِقْبِلْ مِنِّى الْيَسِيْرَ وَاعْفُ عَنِّى الْكَثِيْرَ، اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الرَّحِيْمُ الْغَفُوْرُ
So relieve me and bring ease to me, O You who frees the captive and forgives the many; accept from me the little and forgive me the much. Indeed, You are the Most Merciful, the Most Forgiving.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْئَلُكَ اِيْمَانًا تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِيْ وَ يَقِيْنًا صَادِقًا حَتّٰى اَعْلَمَ اَنَّهُ لَنْ يُّصِيْبَنِيْ اِلَّا مَا كَتَبْتَ لِيْ
O Allah, I ask You for faith that my heart will experience and for sincere certainty, until I know that nothing will befall me except what You have decreed for me.
وَ رَضِّنِيْ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِيْ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ
And make me content with the portion of life You have allotted me, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
