In the name of Allah, 
The Beneficent, The Merciful

وَوَفِّقْنِي فِيهِ لِلَيْلَةِ القَدْرِ

And guide me to observe the Grand Night adequately,

عَلَى أَفْضَلِ حَالٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَأَرْضَاهَا لَكَ،

Being on the most favorable and most pleased state that You would like to notice from any of Your intimate servants,

ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا لِي خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ،

And then decide it to be better for me that one thousand months,

وَارْزُقْنِي فِيهَا أَفْضَلَ مَا رَزَقْتَ أَحَداً مِمَّنْ بَلَّغْتَهُ إيَّاهَا وَأَكْرَمْتَهُ بِهَا،

And confer upon me during this night the best conferrals that You ever confer upon anyone whom You guide to attain it and whom You honor during it,

وَاجْعَلْنِي فِيهَا مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ،

And include me in it with those whom You release from Hell,

وَطُلَقَائِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ،

And whom You release from Hellfire

وَسُعَدَاءِ خَلْقِكَ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ وَرِضْوَانِكَ

And with those of Your creatures who are happy due to Your forgiveness and satisfaction (that reach them),

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

اللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

O Allah: (please do) bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

  

 

 

إنْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ فِي هذِهِ اللّيْلَةِ

If you have decided at this night,

تَنَزّلَ المَلائِكَةِ وَالرّوحِ فِيهَا

During which the angels and the Holy Spirit are allowed to descend,

أَنْ تُصَلّيَ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ،

That You may bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ اسْمِي فِي السّعَدَاءِ،

And You may add my name to the (list of the) happy ones,

وَرُوحِي مَعَ الشّهَدَاءِ،

And add my soul to the martyrs,

وَإحْسَانِي فِي عِلّيّينَ،

And elevate my good doings exaltedly

وَإسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً،

And decide my ill deeds to be forgiven,

وَأَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِيناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي،

And that You grant me conviction with which You fill in my heart,

وَإيمَاناً لا يَشُوبُهُ شَكّ،

And grant me faith free of doubt,

وَرِضَىً بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي،

And grant me satisfaction with that which You decide for me,

وَآتِنِي فِي الدّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً

And grant me good in this worldly life and good in the Next World

وَقِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ،

And save me from the Fire of Hell.

وَإنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَضَيْتَ فِي هذِهِ اللّيْلَةِ

And if You have not decided at this night,

تَنَزّلَ المَلائِكَةِ وَالرّوْحِ فِيهَا

During which the angels and the Holy Spirit are allowed to descend,

فَأَخّرْنِي إلَى ذلِكَ،

Then (please) postpone Your decisions about me to that night,

وَارْزُقْنِي فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَشُكْرَكَ

And confer upon me during it with reference to You and showing gratitude to You,

وَطَاعَتَكَ وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ،

And doing acts of obedience to You and worshipping You in the best manner;

وَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ

And (please) bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ،

With Your most favorable blessings, O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

 

 

 

وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَتُقَدّرُ

And to decide within the decisions that You make,

مِنَ الأَمْرِ العَظِيمِ المَحْتُومِ فِي لَيْلَةِ القَدْرِ

From the great, inevitable affair at the Grand Night,

مِنَ القَضَاءِ الّذِي لا يُرَدّ وَلا يُبَدّلُ

Within the decision that is neither rejected nor altered,

أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الحَرَامِ

That You write my name with the pilgrims of Your Holy House,

المَبْرُورِ حَجّهُمُ،

Whose Hajj is admitted,

المَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمُ،

Whose efforts are praiseworthy,

المَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمُ،

Whose sins are forgiven,

المُكَفّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَيّئَاتُهُمْ،

And whose offenses are pardoned.

وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَتُقَدّرُ أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمْرِي،

And that You may decide among the decisions that You make that You grant me long lifetime,

وَتُوَسّعَ رِزْقِي،

And expand my sustenance,

وَتُؤَدّيَ عَنّي أَمَانَتِي وَدَيْنِي،

And help me fulfill my trusts and settle my debts,

آمِينَ رَبّ العَالَمِينَ.

Respond to me; O the Lord of the worlds.

اللّهُمّ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِيَ فَرَجاً وَمَخْرَجاً،

O Allah: (please do) make for me relief and an outlet,

وَارْزُقْنِي مِنْ حَيْثُ أَحْتَسِبُ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لا أَحْتَسِبُ،

And provide for me from whence I expect and from whence I do not expect,

وَاحْرُسْنِي مِنْ حَيْثُ أَحْتَرِسُ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لا أَحْتَرِسُ،

And guard me from when I take precautions and from whence I do not take precautions,

وَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ وَسَلّمْ كَثِيراً.

And send plentiful blessings and benedictions upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad.
