بِسْمِ اﷲِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیْ مَرَضَاتُہٗ فِی الطَّلَبِ اِلَیْہِ وَ اِلْتِمَاسِ مَا لَدَیہِ وَسَخْطُہٗ فِیْ تَرْکِ الْاِلْحَاحِ فِیْ الْمَسْئَلَۃِ عَلَیْہِ وَ سُبْحَانَ اﷲِ شَاہِدُ کُلِّ نَجْوٰی بِعِلْمِہٖ وَ مُبَآئِنِ کُلِّ ذِیْ جِسْمٍ بِنَفْسِہٖ وَلَآ اِلٰہَ اِلاَّ اﷲُ الَّذِیْ لاَ یُدْرَکُ بِالْعُیُوْنِ وَالْاَبْصَارِ وَ لاَ یُجْہَلُ بِالْعُقُوْلِ وَالْاَلْبَابِ وَ یُخْلَقُ مِنَ الضَّمِیْرِ
Praise is for Allah who is pleased with the one who invokes Him and who supplicate to Him and in realizing his stubbornness His wrath is concealed. Pure is Allah who is aware of every whisper due to His knowledge and is different from all the creatures possessing body. There is no Lord except Allah. He cannot be seen by imagination or with eyes, and cannot be denied due to intellect and reason. Nor he can be created by the heart.

وَ یَعْلَمُ خَآئِنَۃَ الْاَعْیَنِ وَمَا تَخْفِی الصُّدُوْرِ وَاﷲُ اَکْبَرُ الْمُتَجَلِّلُ عَنْ صِفَاتِ الْمَخْلُوْقِیْنَ الْمُطِّعُ عَلٰی مَافِیْ قُلُوْبِ الْخَلَآئِقِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ
He is aware of the indication of eyes and the secrets of the hearts and Allah is too great and Majestic who is aware of the Qualities of the creation and is aware of the secrets of the entire Universe.

اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ سُؤَالَ مَنْ لاَ یَمِلُّ دُعَآءَ رَبِّہٖ وَ اَتَضَرَّعُ اِلَیْکَ تَضَرَّعُ غَرِیْقٍ یَرْجُوْا کَشْفَ کُرْبِہٖ وَ اَبْتَہِلُ اِلَیْکَ اِبْتِہَالِ تَآئِبٍ مِنْ ذُنُوْبِہٖ وَ خَطَایَاہُ
O Allah! I seek from You like the one who does not fear his lord while asking from Him, and I beseech You like the one who is drowned in calamities and desires to come out of it. And I call upon You, so restlessly as the one who is repenting on his sins and errors.

  وَ اَنْتَ الرَّئُوْفُ الَّذِیْ مَلَکْتَ الْخَلَآئِقَ کَلُّہُمْ وَفَطَرْتَہُمْ اَجْنَاسًا مُخْتَلِفَاتِ الْاَلْوَانِ وَالْاَقْدَارِ عَلٰی مَشِیَّتِکَ وَ قَدَّرْتَ اٰجَالَہُمْ وَ اَرْزَاقَہُمْ فَلَمْ یَتَعَاظَمَکَ خَلْقُ خَلْقٍ حَتّٰی کَوَّنْتَہٗ کَمَا شِئْتَ مُخْتَلِفًا مِمَّا شِئْتَ فَتَعَالَیْتَ وَ تَجَبَّرْتَ عَنِ اتِّخَاذِ وَزِیْرٍ وَ تَعَزَّزْتَ عَنْ مُوَازَرَۃٍ شَرِیْکٍ وَ تَنَزَّہْتَ عَنِ اتِّخَاذِ الْاَبْنَآءِ وَ تَقَدَّسْتَ عَنْ مَلاَمَسَۃِ النِّسَآءِ۔
And You are the most merciful, lord of the entire creation, creating various creatures by Your Will. You have fixed their life span and their sustenance creating of a creature is not difficult for You and designed them as You desired. You are above everything so as to be dependent of anything, or that a partner be ascribed to You.

فَلَیْسَتِ الْاَبْصَارُ بِمُدْرِکَۃٍ لَکَ وَ لَیْسَتِ الْاَوْہَامُ بِوَاقِعَۃٍ عَلَیْکَ وَ لَیْسَ لَکَ شَرِیْکٌ وَلاَ نِدٌّ وَلاَ عَدِیْلٌ وَلاَ نَظِیْرٌ وَ اَنْتَ الْفَرْدُ الْوَاحِدُ الدَّآئِمُ الْاَوَّلُ الْاٰخِرُ وَالْعَالِمُ الْاَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الْقَآئِمُ الَّذِیْ لَمْ تَلِدْ وَلَمْ تُوْلَدْ وَلَمْ یَکُنْ لَکَ کَفُوًا اَحَدٌ-
We cannot see You with eyes, no false belief can reach up to You, and You have no partners, no opposite and no equal. You are one, alone and eternal. You are the first, the last, the Knower, unconcerned and the everlasting, You are not a son of anyone and no one is Your son.

لاَ تَنَالُ بِوَصْفٍ وَلاَ تُدْرَکُ بِوَہْمٍ وَلاَ تُغَیِّرُکَ فِیْ مَرِّ الدُّہُوْرِ صَرْفٌ کَنْتَ اَزَلِیًّا لَمْ تَزَلْ وَلاَ تَزَالُ وَ عِلْمُکَ بِالْاَشْیَآءِ فِی الْخِفَآءِ کَعِلْمِکَ بِہَا فِی الْاِجْہَادِ وَالْاِعْلاَنِ۔
None is like you and no one can understand you by praising or by hallucination. No time, no rotation of the earth can change You. You were Eternal and will remain everlasting till end. You know what is concealed. Your knowledge is same as it was before.

 فَیَامَنْ ذَلَّتْ لِعَظَمَتِہٖ الْعُظَمَآءُ وَخَضَعَتْ لِعِزَّتِہِ الرُّءَ وسَآءُ
O the one! O the one in comparsion of Whose greatness the greatest personalities are nothing.And beforeWhose might the mighty people are helpless.

وَ مَنْ کَلَّتْ عَنْ بُلُوْغِ ذَاتِہٖ اَلْسُنُ الْبُلَغَآءِ وَمَنْ اَحْکَمَ تَدْبِیْرَ الْاَشْیَآءِ وَاسْتَعْجَمَتْ عَنْ اِدْرَاکِہٖ عِبَارَۃِ عُلُوْمِ الْعُلَمَآء
The words of the litterateurs fail to reach His Being. The One Who has fixed the course of action of everything. And the writings of the eloquent ones fail to express His realities.

یَا سَیِّدِیْ اَتُعَذِّبُنِیْ بِالنَّارِ وَ اَنْتَ اَمَلِیْ اَوْ تُسَلِّطُہَا عَلَیَّ بَعْدَ اِقْرَارِیْ لَکَ بِالتَّوْحِیْدِ
My Lord! Will you inmate me in the fire? Though You are my wish or you'll subdue the fire of hell on me! as I confess your oneness

وَ خُضُوْعِیْ وَ خُشُوْعِیْ لَکَ بِالسُّجُوْدِ اَوْ تُلَجْلِجُ لِسَانِیْ فِیْ الْمَوْقَفِ
and I assert of my lowliness and bow down my head before You. Or my tongue falter in speech by giving the account,

وَ قَدْ مَہَّدْتَ لِیْ بِمَنِّکَ سُبُلَ الْوُصُوْلِ اِلٰی التَّسْبِیْحِ وَالتَّحْمِیْدِ وَالتَّمْجِیْدِ
Through your grace, you have paved for me the means to attain glorification, praise and glorification.

 فَیَا غَایَۃَ الطَّالِبِیْنَ وَ اَمَانَ الْخَآئِفِیْنَ وَ عِمَادَ الْمَلْہُوْفِیْنَ وَ غِیَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِیْثِیْنَ
O helper of seekers, O protector of frightened people who seek protection, of frightened people who seek protection,

وَجَارَ الْمُسْتَجِیْرِیْنَ وَ کَاشِفَ ضُرِّ الْمَکْرُوْبِیْنَ وَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِیْنَ وَ اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِیْنَ
O comforter to remove the sorry of afflicted persons. O cherisher, of learned people and O greatest of all kind of people, O merciful,

 صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُبْ عَلَیَّ وَ اَلْبِسْنِیْ الْعَافِیَۃِ وَارْزُقْنِیْ مِنْ فَضْلِکَ رِزْقًا وَاسِعًا وَاجْعَلْنِیْ مِنَ التَّوَّابِیْنَ
O my Lord, bless Mohammad Mustafa and his progeny. Accept my repentance give me good health and vast sustenance out of your grace and place me among the pious people. 

اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنْ کُنْتَ کَتَبْتَنِیْ شَقِیًّا عِنْدَکَ فَاِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِکَ بِالْکِبْرِیَآءِ وَالْعَظَمَۃِ الَّتِیْ لاَ یُقَاوِمُہَا مُتَکَّبِّرٌ وَلاَ عَظِیْمٌ
 O Allah! You considered me as a sinner, I cry for mercy and quote for the sake of Your grace and honourable places and your grandeur and magnificence that no one can oppose you.

 اَنْ تُصَلِّیَ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تُحَوِّلْنِیْ سَعِیْدًا فَاِنَّکَ تَجْرِی الْاَمُوْرِ عَلٰی اِرَادَتِکَ وَ تَجِیْرُ وَلاَ یُجَارُ عَلَیْکَ وَ اَنْتَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ
O Allah, send Your blessings on Hazrat Mohammad Mustafa (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny. O My Lord, make me fortunate because all matters are in your possession. You are giving Your protection as there is no one except You who can give protection You have power over all things

وَ اَنْتَ الرَّئُوْفُ الرَّحِیْمُ الْخَبِیْرُ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْ نَفْسِیْ وَلاَ اَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْ نَفْسِکَ اِنَّکَ اَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُیُوْبِ فَاَلْطُفْ بِیْ فَقَدِیْمًا لَطُفْتَ بِمُسْرِفٍ عَلٰی نَفْسِہٖ

 فَامْنُنْ عَلَیَّ فَقَدْ مَنَنْتَ عَلٰی غَرِیْقٍ فِیْ بُحُوْرٍ خَطِیْئَۃٍ ہَآئِمًا اَسْلَمْتَہٗ لِلْحُتُوْفِ کَثْرَۃُ زَلَلِہٖ وَ تَطَوُّلْ عَلَیَّ
Bestow Your favour on me, as You always bestowed Your blessings on whom who showed high handedness.Do favour on me as You obliged on them who lost in an ocean of errors and their errors caused them to die.
