اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لَا اِلْهَ اِلَا اللهُ
I bear witness that there is no god save Allah,
وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ
One and Only and having no associate with Him (in Godhead);
اِلهَا وَاحِدًا
He is the One God,
آَحَدًا صَمَدًا
the Unique, the Besought of all,
لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا.
and He has taken to Himself neither a wife nor a son.
اَللَّهُمّ اجْعَلْ لِىٰ فَرَجًا وَمَخْرَجًا
O Allah, cause all my affairs to arrive at a relief and a way out
وَاززُقْنِى مِنْ حَيْثُ اَختَسِبُ
and give me sustenance from whence l expect
وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لَا اَخْتَسِبُ.

اَللَهُمَّ اِنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ اَزْجَى مِنْ عَمَلِىْ
O Allah, Your forgiveness is more hopeful for me than my deeds
وَاِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ اَوْسَعْ مِنْ ذَنْبِىْ
and Your mercy is more expansive than my sin.
اَللَّهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ ذَنْبِى عِنْدَكَ عَظِيْمًا
O Allah, if my sin has been too grave in Your sight,
فَعَفْوُكَ اَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبِىْ
then Your amnesty is graver than my sin.
اَللَهُمَّ اِنْ لَمْ اَكنْ اَهْلَا انْ تَرْحمَنِىْ
O Allah, if I do not deserve receiving Your mercy,
فَرَحْمَثُكَ اَهلْ آَنْ تَبْلُغَنِى وَتَسَعَنِى
then Your mercy is worthy of reaching and including me,
لِإَنَّهَا وَسِعَثْ كُلَّ شَيْءِ
because it has covered all things;
بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَآ اَرْحَمَ الرَّحِمِيْنَ.
[let that be] out of Your mercy, O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
تَوَكِّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَىِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوْتُ
I put my trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies.
وَالْحَمْدُ للهُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذُ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا
All praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a wife or a son
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيْكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ
