دُعَاؤُهُ فِي اللَّجَإِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَىه
Imam Zainul Abideen(as) son of Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as)'s supplication - 10-In Seeking Asylum with God



اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ تَشَأْ تَعْفُ عَنَّا فَبِفَضْلِكَ،
Allāhumma in tashaʾ taʿfu ʿannā fabifaḍlika
O Allah, if You will, You forgive us by Your grace,

وَإِنْ تَشَأْ تُعَذِّبْنَا فَبِعَدْلِكَ،
Wa-in tashaʾ tuʿaḏḏibnā fibiʿadlika
And if You will, You punish us by Your justice,

فَسَهِّلْ لَنَا عَفْوَكَ بِمَنِّكَ،
Fasahhil lanā ʿafwaka bimanika
So make easy for us Your pardon by Your bounty,

وَأَجِرْنَا مِنْ عَذَابِكَ بِتَجَاوُزِكَ؛
Wa-ajirnā min ʿaḏābika bitajāwuzika
And save us from Your punishment by Your forgiveness;

فَإِنَّهُ لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِعَدْلِكَ،
Fa-innahu lā ṭāqata lanā biʿadlika
For we have no strength to bear Your justice,

وَلَا نَجَاةَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَّا دُونَ عَفْوِكَ.
Wa-lā najāta li-aḥadin minnā dūna ʿafwika
And none of us can be saved without Your pardon.

يَا غَنِيَّ الأَغْنِيَاءِ، هَا نَحْنُ عِبَادُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ،
Yā ghanīya alaghniyāʾ, hā naḥnu ʿibāduka bayna yadayka
O Richest of the rich, here we are, Your servants before You,

وَأَنَا أَفْقَرُ الفُقَرَاءِ إِلَيْكَ، فَاجْبُرْ فَاقَتَنَا بِوُسْعِكَ،
Waanā afqaru alfuqarāʾ ilayka, faajbur fāqatana biwusʿika
And I am the poorest of the poor to You, so mend our poverty with Your ability,

وَلَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَاءَنَا بِمَنْعِكَ،
Walā taqṭaʿ rajāʾanā bimanʿika
And do not cut off our hope by withholding,

فَتَكُونَ قَدْ أَشْقَيْتَ مَنِ اسْتَسْعَدَ بِكَ،
Fatakūna qad ashqayta mani istasʿada bika
So You would have made wretched one who sought happiness through You,

وَجَرَمْتَ مَنِ اسْتَرْفَدَ فَضْلَكَ.
Wajaramta mani istarfada faḍlaka
And harmed one who sought the bounty from You.

فَإِلَى مَنْ حِينَئِذٍ مُنْقَلَبُنَا عَنْكَ،
Failā man ḥīnaʾiḏin munqalabunā ʿanka
Then to whom shall we turn away from You,?

وَإِلَى أَيْنَ مَذْهَبُنَا عَنْ بَابِكَ،
Wailā ayna maḏhabunā ʿan bābika
And where shall we go away from Your door,

سُبْحَانَكَ نَحْنُ الْمُضْطَرُّونَ الَّذِينَ أَوْجَبْتَ إِجَابَتَهُمْ،
Subḥānaka naḥnu almuḍṭarrūna alladhīna awjabta ijābatahum
Glory be to You, we are the distressed ones whose answer You have made obligatory,

وَأَهْلُ السُّوءِ الَّذِينَ وَعَدْتَ الْكَشْفَ عَنْهُمْ.
Waahlu assūʾ alladhīna waʿadta alkashfa ʿanhum
And the people of evil whom You promised to relieve.

وَأَشْبَهُ الأَشْيَاءِ بِمَشِيئَتِكَ،
Waashbahu alashyāʾ bimashīʾatika
And the most resembling of things to Your will,

وَأَوْلَى الأُمُورِ بِكَ فِي عَظَمَتِكَ رَحْمَةُ مَنِ اسْتَرْحَمَكَ،
Waawlā alumūri bika fī ʿaẓamatika raḥmatu mani istarḥamaka
And the most befitting of matters for You in Your greatness is the mercy upon one who seeks it from You,

وَغَوْثُ مَنِ اسْتَغَاثَ بِكَ،
Waghawthu mani istaghātha bika
And the aid to one who seeks help from You,

فَارْحَمْ تَضَرُّعَنَا إِلَيْكَ،
Farḥam taḍarruʿanā ilayka
So have mercy upon our supplication to You,

وَأَغْنِنَا إِذْ طَرَحْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ.
Waaghninā idh ṭaraḥnā anfusanā bayna yadayka
And enrich us as we have cast ourselves before You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ شَمِتَ بِنَا إِذْ شَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ،
Allāhumma inna ashshayṭāna qad shamita binā idh shāyaʿnāhu ʿalā maʿṣiyatika
O Allah, Satan has rejoiced over us when we sided with him in disobeying You,

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ،
Faṣalli ʿalā Muḥammadin waālihi
So send blessings upon Muhammad and his family,

وَلَا تُشْمِتْهُ بِنَا بَعْدَ تَرْكِنَا إِيَّاهُ لَكَ،
Walā tushmithu binā baʿda tarkinā iyyāhu laka
And do not let him rejoice over us after we abandoned him for Your sake,

وَرَغْبَتِنَا عَنْهُ إِلَيْكَ.
Waraghabatinā ʿanhu ilayka
And turned our desire away from him towards You.
