In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful

 

Oh God, Oh He who extended the morning's tongue in the speech of its dawning, dispatched the fragments of the dark night into the gloom of its stammering, made firm the structure of the turning spheres in the measures of its display and beamed forth the brightness of the sun through the light of its blazing! Oh He who demonstrates His Essence by His Essence, transcends congeneity with His creatures and is exalted beyond conformity with His qualities! 

Oh He who is near to the passing thoughts of opinions, far from the regards of eyes and knows what will be before it comes to be! Oh He who has put me at ease in the cradle of His security and sanctuary, awakened me to the favors and kindness that He has bestowed upon me and held from the claws of evil with His hand and His force! 

Bless, oh God, the guide to Thee in the darkest night, him who, of Thy ropes, clings to the cord of the longest nobility, him whose glory is evident at the summit of stout shoulders and whose feet were entrenched in spite of slippery places in ancient time; and [bless] his household, the good, the chosen, the pious, 

And open for us, oh God, the leaves of morning's door with the keys of mercy and prosperity! Clothe me, oh God, with the most excellent robes of guidance and righteousness! 

Plant, oh God, through Thy tremendousness, the springs of humility in the watering place of my heart! Cause to flow, oh God, because of Thy awesomeness, tears of moaning from the corner of my eyes! And chastise, oh God, the recklessness of my clumsiness with the reins of contentment! My God, if mercy from Thee does not begin with fair success for me, then who can take me to Thee upon the evident path? 

If Thy deliberateness would turn me over to the guide of hope and wishes, then who will annul my slips from the stumbles of caprice? If Thy deliberateness should turn me over to the guide of hope and wishes, then who will annul my slips from the stumbles of caprice? If Thy help should forsake me in the battle with the soul and Satan, then Thy forsaking will have entrusted me to where there is hardship and deprivation. My God, dost Thou see that I have only come to Thee from the direction of hopes or clung to the ends of Thy cords when my sins have driven me from the house of union? 

So what an evil mount upon which my soul has mounted - its caprice! Woe upon it for being seduced by its own opinions and wishes! And destruction be upon it for its audacity toward its Master and Protector! My God, I have knocked upon the door of Thy mercy with the hand of my hope, fled to Thee seeking refuge from my excessive caprice and fixed the fingers of my love to the ends of Thy cords. 

So pardon, oh God, the slips and errors I have committed and release me from the foot-tangling of my robe. For Thou art my Master, my Protector, my Support and my Hope and Thou art the object of my search and my desire in my ultimate end and stable abode. My God, how couldst Thou drive away a poor beggar who seeks refuge in Thee from sins, fleeing? Or how couldst Thou disappoint one seeking guidance who repairs to Thy threshold, running? 

Never! For Thy pools are full in the hardship of drought, Thy door is open for seeking and penetration and Thou art the goal of requests and the object of hopes. My God, these are the reins of my soul I have bound them with the ties of Thy will. These are the burdens of my sins I have averted them with Thy pardon and mercy. And these are my caprices that lead astray - I have entrusted them to the threshold of Thy gentleness and kindliness. 

So make this morning of mine, oh God, descend upon me with the radiance of guidance, and with safety in religion and this world! And [make] my evening a shield against the deception of enemies and a protection against the destructive blows of caprice! 

Verily Thou art able over what Thou wilt! Thou givest the kingdom to whom Thou wilt, and Thou seizest the kingdom from whom Thou wilt; Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt; in Thy hand is the good; Thou art powerful over all things. Thou makest the night to enter into the day, and Thou makest the day to enter into the night; Thou bringest forth the living from the dead, and Thou bringest forth dead from the living; and Thou providest whomsoever Thou wilt without reckoning. 

There is no god but Thou! Glory be to Thee, oh God, and Thine is the praise! Who knows Thy measure without fearing Thee? Who knows what Thou art without awe of Thee? Through Thy power Thou hast joined disparate things, through Thy gentleness Thou hast cleaved apart the daybreak and through Thy generosity Thou hast illumined the dark shrouds of night. Thou hast made waters, sweet and salt, flow forth from hard shining stones, sent down out of rain-clouds water cascading and appointed the sun and moon a blazing lamp for the creatures, without experiencing in that which Thou originated either weariness or effort. 

So, oh He who is alone in might and subsistence and dominates His slaves with death and annihilation, Bless Muhammad and his household, the godfearing, answer my supplication hear my call, destroy my enemies and actualize through Thy bounty my hope and desire. 

Oh best of those who is called to remove affliction and object of hope in every difficulty and ease! I have stated my need, so do not reject me, oh my master, despairing of Thy exalted gifts. Oh All-generous! Oh All-generous! Oh All-generous! By Thy mercy, oh Most Merciful of the merciful! And God bless the best of His creatures, Muhammad, and all his household! 

 

 

Then he should prostrate and say:

My God, my heart is veiled, my soul deficient, my intelligence defeated, my caprice triumphant, my obedience little, my disobedience much and my tongue acknowledges sins. So what am I to do? Oh He who covers defects! Oh He who knows the unseen things! Forgive my sins, all of them, by the sacredness of Muhammad and the household of Muhammad! Oh All-forgiver! Oh All-forgiver! Oh All-forgiver! By Thy mercy, oh Most Merciful of the merciful!

O Allah! send your blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad

Oh God, Oh He who extended the morning's tongue in the speech of its dawning,

alla humma yaaman dala'a lisaanas' s'a baah'e be nut'qe ta ballojehi

اَللَّهُمَّ يَا مَنْ دَلَعَ لِسَانَ الصَّبَاحِ بِنُطْقِ تَبَلُّجِهِ

dispatched the fragments of the dark night into the gloom of its stammering,

wasarrah'a qet'aa'l lailil muz'leme beghayaahebe talaj lojehi

وَسَرَّحَ قِطَعَ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ بِغَيَاهِبِ تَلَجْلُجِهِ

made firm the structure of the turning spheres in the measures of its display

وَشَعْشَعَ ضِيَاءَ الشَّمْسِ بِنُورِ تَأَجُّجِهِ

Oh He who demonstrates His Essence by His Essence,

yaaman dalla a'laa d'aatehi be d'aa tehi

يَا مَنْ دَلَّ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِهِ بِذَاتِهِ

transcends congeniality with His creatures

watanazzah a'n mujaanasate makh looqaatehi

وَجَلَّ عَنْ مُلاَئَمَةِ كَيْفِيَّاتِهِ

Oh He who is near to the passing thoughts of opinions,

yaa man qaro ba min khat'raatiz' z'unoone

وَعَلِمَ بِمَا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ

Oh He who has put me at ease in the cradle of His security and sanctuary,

yaa man arqa dani fee me haade am nehi wa amaanehi

يَا مَنْ أَرْقَدَنِي فِي مِهَادِ أَمْنِهِ وَأَمَانِهِ

awakened me to the favors and kindness that He has bestowed upon me

wa ayqaz'ani ilaa maa mana h'ani behi min menanehi wa eh' saanehi

وَأَيْقَظَنِي إِلَىٰ مَا مَنَحَنِي بِهِ مِنْ مِنَنِهِ وَإِحْسَانِهِ

and held me from the claws of evil with His hand and His force!

wal maa seke min asbaabeka beh'ablish sharafil at' wale

وَالْمَاسِكِ مِنْ أَسْبَابِكَ بِحَبْلِ الشَّرَفِ الأَطْوَلِ

him whose glory is evident at the summit of stout shoulders

wan naas'ei'l h'asabe fee d'arwatil kaahelil aa'bale

وَالنَّاصِعِ الْحَسَبِ فِي ذِرْوَةِ الْكَاهِلِ الأَعْبَلِ

and whose feet were entrenched in spite of slippery places in ancient time;

wa thaabetil qadame a' laa zah'aaleefeha fiz zamanil awwale

وَالثَّابِتِ الْقَدَمِ عَلَىٰ زَحَالِيفِهَا فِي الزَّمَنِ الأَوَّلِ

and [bless] his household, the good, the chosen, the pious,

wa a'laa aalehil akh yaaril must'a fainal abraare

وَعَلَىٰ آلِهِ الأَخْيَارِ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ الأَبْرَارِ

And open for us, oh God, the leaves of morning's door with the keys of mercy and prosperity!

waftah'ahe alla humma lanaa ma s'aaria's' s'abaah'e bemafaatehir rah' mate walfalaah'e

وَافْتَحِ اللَّهُمَّ لَنَا مَصَارِيعَ الصَّبَاحِ بِمَفَاتِيحِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَالْفَلاَحِ

Clothe me, oh God, with the most excellent robes of guidance and righteousness!

wa albisni allaahumma min afz"ale khila-i'l hidaayate was' s'alaa h'e

وَأَلْبِسْنِي اللَّهُمَّ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ خِلَعِ الْهِدَايَةِ وَالْصَّلاَحِ

Plant, oh God, through Your tremendousness, the springs of humility in the watering place of my heart!

wagh rese alla humma be a'z' mateka fee shirbe janaani yanaa beea'l khoshoo-e'

وَأَدّ ِبِ اللَّهُمَّ نَزَقَ الْخُرْقِ مِنّـِي بِأَزِمَّةِ الْقُنُوعِ،

My God, if mercy from You does not begin with fair success for me,

ilaahi inllam tabta dei' nir rah' mato minka beh'usnit tau feeqe

إِلـٰهِي إِنْ لَمْ تَبْتَدِئْنِي الرَّحْمَةُ مِنْكَ بِحُسْنِ التَّوْفِيقِ

then who can take me to You upon the evident path?

fa manis saa leko bi ilai ka fee waaz" eh'it' t'a reeqe

فَمَنِ السَّالِكُ بِي إِلَيْكَ فِي وَاضِحِ الطَّرِيقِ

If Your deligerateness would turn me over to the guide of hope and wishes,

wa in aslamatni anaatoka le qaaedil amale walmunaa

وَإِنْ أَسْلَمَتْنِي أَنَاتُكَ لِقَائِدِ الأَمَلِ وَ الْمُنَىٰ

then who will annul my slips from the stumbles of desire?

fama nil moqeelo a'tha raati min kabawaatil hawa

فَمَنِ الْمُقِيلُ عَثَرَاتِي مِنْ كَبَوَاتِ الْهَوَىٰ

If Your help should forsake me in the battle with the soul and Satan,

wain khad'a lani nas'roka i'nda muh'aarabatin nafse wash shait'aa ne

وَإِنْ خَذَلَنِي نَصْرُكَ عِنْدَ مُحَارَبَةِ النَّفْسِ وَ الشَّيْطَانِ

then Your forsaking will have entrusted me to where there is hardship and deprivation.

faqad wa kalani khid'laanoka ilaa h'aithun nas'abe wal h'irmaane

فَقَدْ وَكَلَنِي خِذْلاَنُكَ إِلَىٰ حَيْثُ النَّصَبِ وَالْحِرْمَانِ،

My God, do You see that I have only come to You from the direction of hopes

ilaahi ataraa ni maaataitoka illa min h'aithul amaale

إِلـٰهِي أَتَرَانِي مَا أَتَيْتُكَ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ الآمَالِ

or clung to the ends of Your cords when my sins have driven me from the house of union?

أَمْ عَلِقْتُ بِأَطْرَافِ حِبَالِكَ إِلاَّ حِينَ بَاعَدَتْنِي ذُنُوبِي عَنْ دَارِ الْوِصَالِ

So what an evil mount upon which my soul has mounted - its desires!

fabesal mat'iy yatullati am tat'at nafsi min hawaha

فَبِئْسَ الْمَطِيَّةُ الَّتِي امْتَطَتْ نَفْسِي مِنْ هَوَاهَا

Woe upon it for being seduced by its own opinions and wishes!

fawaa han laha lema saw walat laha z'unoo noha wamunaaha

فَوَاهًا لَهَا لِمَا سَوَّلَتْ لَهَا ظُنُونُهَا وَمُنَاهَا

And destruction be upon it for its audacity toward its Master and Protector!

wata bban laha lejur ateha a'laa sayye deha wamaulaha

وَتَبًّا لَهَا لِجُرْأَتِهَا عَلَىٰ سَيّـِدِهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا،

My God, I have knocked upon the door of Your mercy with the hand of my hope,

ilaahi qaraa'to baaba rah'mateka beyade rajaai

إِلـٰهِي قَرَعْتُ بَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ بِيَدِ رَجَائِي

fled to You seeking refuge from my excessive desires

waharabto ilaika laajean min fart'e ahwaai

وَ هَرَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ لاَجِئًا مِنْ فَرْطِ أَهْوَائِي

and fixed the fingers of my love to the ends of Your cords.

wa a'l laqto be at'rafe h'ibaa leka anaamela wala-i

وَعَلَّقْتُ بِأَطْرَافِ حِبَالِكَ أَنَامِلَ وَلاَئِي

So pardon, oh God, the slips and errors I have committed

fas'fah'e allaahumma a'm ma kunto ajramtohu min zalali wa khat'aai

فَاصْفَحِ اللَّهُمَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُ أَجْرَمْتُهُ مِنْ زَلَلِي وَخَطَائِي

and release me from the foot-tangling of my robe

wa aqleni min s'ar-a'ate redaai

وَأَقِلْنِي مِنْ صَرْعَةِ رِدَائِي

For You are my Master, my Protector, my Support and my Hope

fa in naka sayyedi wa maulaaya wa mo'tamadi waraj aai

فَإِنَّكَ سَيّـِدِي وَ مَوْلاَيَ وَمُعْتَمَدِي وَرَجَائِي

and You are the object of my search and my desire in my ultimate end and stable abode.

wa anta ghaayato matloobi wa monaaya fee mun qalabi wamathwaaya

وَأَنْتَ غَايَةُ مَطْلُوبِي وَ مُنَايَ فِي مُنْقَلَبِي وَ مَثْوَايَ،

My God, how could You drive away a poor beggar who seeks refuge in You from sins, fleeing?

ilaahi kaifa tat'rudo miskee nan iltajaa ilaika menad' d'unoo bi haa reban

إِلـٰهِي كَيْفَ تَطْرُدُ مِسْكِينًا الْتَجَأَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ هَارِبًا

Or how could You disappoint one seeking guidance who seeks Your threshold, running?

am kaifa to khayyebo mustar shedan qasa da ilaa janaa beka saae'yan

أَمْ كَيْفَ تُخَيّـِبُ مُسْتَرْشِدًا قَصَدَ إِلَىٰ جَنَابِكَ سَاعِيًا

Or how could You turn away a thirsty man who has come to Your pools, drinking

am kaifa taruddo z'amaa nan warada ilaa h'eyaa z"eka shaareban

أَمْ كَيْفَ تَرُدُّ ظَمْآنَ وَرَدَ إِلَىٰ حِيَاضِكَ شَارِبًا،

Never! For Your pools are full in the hardship of drought,

kal la wa h'eyaaz"oka mutra-a'atun fee z"an kil mah'oole

كَلاَّ وَحِيَاضُكَ مُتْرَعَةٌ فِي ضَنْكِ الْمُحُولِ

Your door is open for seeking and penetration

wabaa boka maftooh'un lit' t'alabe wal wughoole

وَ بَابُكَ مَفْتُوحٌ لِلطَّلَبِ وَالْوُغُولِ

and You are the goal of requests and the object of hopes.

wa anta ghaayatul mas-oole wa nehaa yatul maamoole

وَ أَنْتَ غَايَةُ الْمَسْؤُولِ وَنِهَايَةُ الْمَأْمُولِ،

My God, these are the reins of my soul I have bound them with the ties of Your will.

ilahi haad'ehi azim mato nafsi a'qaltoha be i'qaale masheey yate ka

إِلـٰهِي هٰذِهِ أَزِمَّةُ نَفْسِي عَقَلْتُهَا بِعِقَالِ مَشِيَّتِكَ

These are the burdens of my sins I have averted them with Your pardon and mercy.

wa haad'ehi aa'baao d'unoobi da raatoha be a'fweka wa rah'mateka

وَ هٰذِهِ أَعْبَاءُ ذُنُوبِي دَرَأْتُهَا بِعَفْوِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ

And these are my desires that lead astray - I have entrusted them to the threshold of Your gentleness and kindliness.

wa haad'ehi ahwaaeyal muz"illato wa kaltoha ilaa janaabe lut'feka waraa fateka

وَ هٰذِهِ أَهْوَائِي الْمُضِلَّةُ وَكَلْتُهَا إِلَىٰ جَنَابِ لُطْفِكَ وَرَأْفَتِكَ

So make this morning of mine, oh God, descend upon me with the radiance of guidance,

faj-a'le alla humma s'abaah'i haa d'a naazelan a'layya be z"iyaail huda

فَاجْعَلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَبَاحِي هٰذَا نَازِلاً عَلَيَّ بِضِيَاءِ الْهُدَىٰ

and with safety in religion and this world!

was salaamate fid deene waddunya

  وَالسَّلاَمَةِ فِي الدِينِ وَالدُّنْيَا

And [make] my evening a shield against the deception of enemies

wamasaai junnatan min kaidil aa'da

وَمَسَائِي جُنَّةً مِنْ كَيْدِ الْعِدَىٰ

and a protection against the destructive blows of desire!

waweqaa yatan min murdeyaatil hawa

وَوِقَايَةً مِنْ مُرْدِيَاتِ الْهَوَىٰ

Verily You are able over what You will!

innaka qaadiron a'laa maa tashaao
