yaa akramal akrameena wa muntahaa umniyyatil saaeleena, anta mawlaaya, fatahta lee baabad do-a’a-e wal enaabate,
O the most noble from the nobles and the last center of the hopes of petitioners, You are my master.
فَلَا تُغْلِقْ عَنِّيْ بَابَ الْقَبُوْلِ وَ الْاِجَابَةِ، وَ نَجِّنِيْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَ بَوِّئْنِيْ غُرُفَاتِ الْجِنَانِ،
falaa tughliq a’nnee baabal qaboole wal ejaabate, wanajjenee be-rahmateka menan naare, wa bawweanee ghorofaatil jenaane,
If You have opened the doors of repentance, do not close the doors of acceptance and on the basis of your mercy, save us from the chastisement of hell and accommodate us inthe chambers of Paradise.
وَ اجْعَلْنِيْ مُتَمَسِّكًا بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقٰى، وَ اخْتِمْ لِيْ بِالسَّعَادَةِ.
waj a’lnee motamassekan bil-u’rwatil wusqaa, wakh tim lee bis-sa-a’adate.
Through your strong support give us the good sense (Taufeeq) of attachment and make our end be on righteousness.
وَ اَحْيِنِيْ بِالسَّلَامَةِ يَا ذَا الْفَضْلِ وَ الْكَمَالِ، وَ الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْجَلَالِ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِيْ عَدُوًّا وَ لَا حَاسِدًا،
wa ahyenee bis-salaamate yaa zal fazle wal kamaale, wal i’zzate wal jalaale
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.
