O God, there is only your glad tiding and there is nothing other than that, which can provide tranquility to my breast, pleasure to my soul, coolness to my eyes, joy to my face, shine to my complexion and peace to my heart. And the effect of its tranquility can become apparent on my complete being.
يَغْبِطُنِيْ بِهَا مَنْ حَضَرَنِيْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، وَ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِيْ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ. تُهَوِّنُ بِهَا عَلَيَّ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ،

Keep us alive with health, O owner of grace and perfection and master of honor and majesty;
وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ سُلْطَانًا عَنِيْدًا وَ لَا شَيْطَانًا مَرِيْدًا،
wa laa tushmit bee a’duwwan wa laa haasedan, wa laa tosallit a’layya sultaanan a’needan wa laa shaytaanin mareedan,
do not give chance to our enemies and jealous ones to ridicule us and do not impose upon us any tyrant or rebellious satan.
بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ، وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ، وَ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِہٖ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِیْمًا.
be-rahmateka yaa arhamar raahemeen, wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil a’liyyil a’zeeme, wa sallal laaho a’laa mohammadin wa aalhi wa sallama tasleeman
Through your perfect mercy, O the best of those, who are merciful. And there is no strength or power, except for Allah, the high and the mighty, and may Allah bless Muhammad and his progeny with the best of the blessings.
