أَعُوذُ بِجَلالِ وَجْهِكَ الكَرِيمِ

a`udhu bijalali wajhika alkarimi

I seek the protection of the Majesty of Your Honorable Face

أَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ عَنّي شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ

an yanqadhiya `anni shahru ramadhana

against that the month of Ramadhan elapses

أَوْ يَطْلُعَ الفَجْرُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِي هذِهِ

aw yathlu`a alfajru min laylaty hadhihi

Or dawn puts an end to this night

وَلَكَ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ أَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُعَذّبُنِي عَلَيْهِ.

wa laka qibaly tabi`atun aw dhanbun tu`adhdhibuny `alayhi

but there is still an offense or a sin for which I am still liable and for which You will punish me.

اللّهُمّ أَدّ عَنَّا حَقّ مَا مَضَى مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ،

allahumma addi `anna haqqa ma madha min shahri ramadhana

O Allah: (please) help us fulfill the right of the past days of the month of Ramadhan,

وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا تَقْصِيرَنَا فِيهِ

waghfir lana taqsirana fihi

And forgive us our shortcoming during it,

وَتَسَلّمْهُ مِنَّا مَقْبُولاً،

wa tasallmhu minna maqbulan

And receive it from us with acceptance,

وَلا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِإِسْرَافِنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا،

wa la tu´akhidhna bi-israfina `ala anfusina

And do not blame us for our extravegence in our affairs,

وَاجْعَلْنَا مِنَ المَرْحُومِينَ

waj`alna mina almarhumina

And include us with those upon whom mercy is had,

وَلا تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ المَحْرُومِينَ.

wa la taj`alna mina almahrumina

And do not include us with those deprived (of the awards of Ramadhan).

اللّهُمّ إِنّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ المُنْزَلِ:

allahumma innaka qulta fi kitabika almunzali:

O Allah: You have said in Your revealed Book:

(شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ القُرْآنُ

(shahru ramadhana alladhy ‘unzila fihi alqur’anu

“The month of Ramadhan is that in which the Qur'an was revealed,

هُدَىً لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيّنَاتٍ مِنَ الهُدَى وَالفُرْقَانِ)

hudan lilnnasi wa bayyinatin mina alhuda wal-furqani)

a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction.”

فَعَظّمْتَ حُرْمَةَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

fa-`a¨¨amta hurmata shahri ramadhana

You have thus rendered great the sanctity of this month of Ramadhan,

بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ القُرْآنِ

bima anzalta fihi mina alqur’ani

Because You revealed the Qur'an in it,

وَخَصَصْتَهُ بِلَيْلَةِ القَدْرِ

wa khasastahu bilaylati alqadri

And You decided the Grand Night to be in this month exclusively,

وَجَعَلْتَهَا خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ.

wa ja`altaha khayran min alfi shahrin

And You made it better than one thousand months.

اللّهُمّ وَهذِهِ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَدِ انْقَضَتْ،

allahumma wa hadhihi aiyyamu shahri ramadhana slat a’ukhra qadi anqadhat

O Allah: the days of the month of Ramadhan are elapsing,

وَلَيَالِيهِ قَدْ تَصَرّمَتْ،

wa layalihi qad tasarramat

And its nights are also elapsing,

وَقَدْ صِرْتُ يَا إِلهِي مِنْهُ إِلَى مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنّي

wa qad sirtu ya ilahy minhu ila ma anta a`lamu bihi minny

While I have become in the state that You, O my God, know better than I do,

وَأَحْصَى لِعَدَدِهِ مِنَ الخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ،

wa ahsa li`adadihi mina alkhalqi ajma`ina

And You can count it more precisely than all the created beings.

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ مَلائِكَتُكَ المُقَرّبُونَ،

fa-as’aluka bima salaka bihi mala’ikatuka almuqarrabuna

So, I beseech You in the name of that by which Your favorite angels,

وَأَنْبِيَاؤُكَ المُرْسَلُونَ،

wa anbiya’uka almursaluna

And Your missioned Prophets,

وَعِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ

wa `ibaduka alssalihuna

And Your righteous servants have besought You,

أَنْ تُصَلّيَ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ

an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin

That You may bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

وَأَنْ تَفُكّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ،

wa an tafukka raqabaty mina alnnari

And You may release me from Hellfire,

وَتُدْخِلَنِي الجَنّةَ برَحْمَتِكَ،

wa tudkhilany aljannata brahmatika

And allow me to enter Paradise, by Your mercy,

وَأَنْ تَتَفَضّلَ عَلَيّ بِعَفْوِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ،

wa an tatafadhdhala `alayya bi`afwika wa karamika

And confer upon me with Your pardon and Your generosity,

وَتَتَقَبّلَ تَقَرّبِي،

wa tataqabbala taqarrubi

And accept my seeking of nearness to You,

وَتَسْتَجِيبَ دُعَائِي،

wa tastajiba du`a’y

And respond to my prayer,

وَتَمُنّ عَلَيّ بِالأَمْنِ يَوْمَ الخَوْفِ

wa tamunna `alayya bil-amni yawma alkhawfi

And bestow upon me with security on the Day of Dread

مِنْ كُلّ هَوْلٍ أَعْدَدْتَهُ لِيَوْمِ القِيَامَةِ.

min kulli hawlin a`dadtahu liyawmi alqiyamati

Against all the horrors that You have prepared for the Resurrection Day.

إِلهِي وَأَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الكَرِيمِ،

ilahy wa a`udhu biwajhika alkarimi

O my God: I seek the protection of Your Noble Face,

وَبِجَلالِكَ العَظِيمِ

wa bijalalika al`a¨imi

And Your Great Majesty,

أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَلَيَالِيهِ

an tanqadhiya aiyyamu shahri ramadhana wa layalihi

Against that the days and nights of the month of Ramadhan elapse,

وَلَكَ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ أَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُؤَاخِذُنِي بِهِ،

wa laka qibaly tabi`atun aw dhanbun tu´akhidhuny bihi

While there is still a sin or an offense for which You may punish me,

أَوْ خَطِيئَةٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتَصّهَا مِنّي لَمْ تَغْفِرْهَا لِي،

aw khathyiatun turidu an taqtassaha minny lam taghfirha li

Or a wrongdoing for which You want to chastise me; and You have not yet forgiven them for me,

سَيّدِي سَيّدِي سَيّدِي،

sayyidy sayyidy sayyidi

O my Master; O my Master; O my Master;

أَسْأَلُكَ يَا لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

as’aluka ya la ilaha illa anta

I beseech You, O He save Whom there is no god,

إِذْ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

idh la ilaha illa anta

Indeed, there is no god save You,

إِنْ كُنْتَ رَضِيتَ عَنّي فِي هذَا الشّهْرِ

in kunta radhita `anni fi hadha alshshahri

If You have been pleased with me in this month,

فَازْدَدْ عَنّي رِضَىً،

fazdad `anni ridhan

Then (please) increase Your satisfaction with me;

وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَضِيتَ عَنّي

wa in lam takun radhita `anni

And if You have not been pleased with me,

فَمِنَ الآنَ فَارْضَ عَنّي

famina al-ana fardha `anni

Then (please) be satisfied with me from this moment,

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ،

ya arhama alrrahimina

O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

يَا اللّهُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ

ya allahu ya ahadu ya samadu

O Allah; O the One and Only; O the Besought of all;

يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

ya man lam yalid wa lam yulad

O He Who  begets not, nor is He begotten,

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ.

wa lam yakun lahu kufwan ahadun

 And none is like Him

ya mulayyina alhadidi lidawuda `alayhi alssalamu

O He Who made the iron pliant for (Prophet) David, peace be upon him;

kama anta ahluhu an tusalliya `alayhim ajma`ina

As exactly as You are worthy of blessing them all,

وَافْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ،

waf`al by ma anta ahluhu
