8
9
rising and setting, illumination and eclipse.
وَالطُّلُوعِ وَالأُفُولِ، وَالإِنارَةِ وَالْكُسُوفِ،

10

13
14
So I ask God, my Lord and thy Lord,

وَأَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ هِلاَلَ بَرَكَة لاَ تَمْحَقُهَا الأيَّامُ،
18
19
and of purity not defiled by sins;
وَطَهَارَة لاَ تُدَنِّسُهَا الآثامُ،
19
20
a crescent of security from blights
هِلاَلَ أَمْن مِنَ الآفاتِ،
20
21
and of safety from evil deeds;
وَسَلاَمَة مِنَ السَّيِّئاتِ،
21
22
a crescent of auspiciousness containing no misfortune,
هِلاَلَ سَعْد لاَ نَحْسَ فِيْهِ،
22
23
of prosperity accompanied by no adversity,
وَيُمْن لاَ نَكَدَ مَعَهُ،
23
24
of ease not mixed with difficulty,
وَيُسْر لاَ يُمَازِجُهُ عُسْرٌ،
24
25
of good unstained by evil;
وَخَيْر لاَ يَشُوبُهُ شَرٌّ،
25

guard us therein from pursuing disobedience to Thee,
وَاحْفَظْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ مُبَاشَرَةِ مَعْصِيَتِكَ،
33
34
allot to us within it thanksgiving for Thy favour,
