the petitioner, the seeker, the desirous, and the dreader are present from among them,
وَ أَنْتَ النَّاظِرُ فِي حَوَائِجِهِمْ wa-anta n-nāẓiru fī ḥawā’ijihim
and You are the Looker at their needs,
فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ هَوَانِ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ عَلَيْكَ fa-as’aluka bi-jūdika wa-karamika wa-hawāni mā sa’altuka ‘alayk
so I ask You by Your generosity, Your nobleness, and the ease of what I ask of You upon You,
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ an tuṣalliya ‘alā Muḥammadin wa-ālih
to bless Muḥammad and his Household,
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْمُلْكَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ، wa-as’aluka Allāhumm Rabbanā bi-anna laka l-mulka wa-laka l-ḥamd,
And I ask You, O God, our Lord, by the fact that the dominion is Yours and the praise is Yours,
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ الْحَنَّانُ الْمَنَّانُ lā ilāha illā Ant, al-Ḥalīmu l-Karīmu l-Ḥannānu l-Mannān
there is no god but You, the Forbearing, the Noble, the Compassionate, the Bestower,

Possessor of Majesty and Honor, Originator of the heavens and the earth,
مَهْمَا قَسَمْتَ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ mahmā qasamta bayna ‘ibādika l-mu’minīn
whatever You distribute among Your believing servants
مِنْ خَيْرٍ أَوْ عَافِيَةٍ أَوْ بَرَكَةٍ أَوْ هُدًى أَوْ عَمَلٍ بِطَاعَتِكَ min khayr aw ‘āfiyatin aw barakatin aw hudā aw ‘amalin bi-ṭā‘atik
of good, or well-being, or blessing, or guidance, or action in Your obedience,

or goodness You bestow upon them, by which You guide them to You,
أَوْ تَرْفَعُ لَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ دَرَجَةً aw tarfa‘u lahum ‘indak darajah
or You raise a rank for them with You,
أَوْ تُعْطِيهِمْ بِهِ خَيْراً مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ aw tu‘ṭīhim bihī khayran min khayri d-dunyā wa-l-ākhirah
or You give them through it good from the good of this world and the Hereafter —
أَنْ تُوَفِّرَ حَظِّي وَ نَصِيبِي مِنْهُ. an tuwaffira ḥaẓẓī wa-naṣībī minh.
to increase my share and portion of it.
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِأَنَّ wa-as’aluka Allāhumm bi-anna
And I ask You, O God, by the fact that
لَكَ الْمُلْكَ وَ الْحَمْدَ laka l-mulku wa-l-ḥamd,
the dominion and the praise are Yours,
lā ilāha illā Ant
there is no god but You,
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ an tuṣalliya ‘alā Muḥammad
to bless Muḥammad,
‘abdika wa-rasūlik
Your servant and Your messenger,
وَ حَبِيبِكَ وَ صِفْوَتِكَ wa-ḥabībika wa-ṣifwatik
and Your beloved and Your chosen one,
وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ wa-khiyaratik min khalqik,
and Your best selection from Your creation,
وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَبْرَارِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ wa-‘alā āli Muḥammad al-abrār iṭ-ṭāhirīn al-akhyār
and upon the Household of Muḥammad, the pious, the pure, the excellent,
صَلَاةً لَا يَقْوَى عَلَى إِحْصَائِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ ṣalātan lā yaqwā ‘alā iḥṣā’ihā illā Ant,
a blessing that none can enumerate except You,
wa-an tushrikanā fī
and to include us in
صَالِحِ مَنْ دَعَاكَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ ṣāliḥi man da‘āk fī hādhā l-yawm
the good of those who supplicated You on this day
مِنْ عِبَادِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ min ‘ibādika l-mu’minīn,
of Your believing servants,
yā Rabba l-‘ālamīn,
O Lord of the Worlds,
وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لَنَا وَ لَهُمْ wa-an taghfira lanā wa-lahum,
and to forgive us and them,
إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ. innaka ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr.
truly You have power over everything.
اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ تَعَمَّدْتُ بِحَاجَتِي Allāhumm ilayk ta‘ammattu bi-ḥājatī
O God, to You I have directed my need,
وَ بِكَ أَنْزَلْتُ الْيَوْمَ فَقْرِي wa-bik anzaltu l-yawm faqri
and in You I have presented my poverty today,
وَ فَاقَتِي وَ مَسْكَنَتِي wa-fāqatī wa-maskanatī,
and my destitution and my wretchedness,
وَ إِنِّي بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ أَوْثَقُ مِنِّي بِعَمَلِي wa-innī bi-maghfiratik wa-raḥmatik awthaqu minnī bi-‘amalī
and I am more confident in Your forgiveness and Your mercy than in my own action,
وَ لَمَغْفِرَتُكَ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي wa-la-maghfiratuk wa-raḥmatuk awsa‘u min dhunūbī
and surely Your forgiveness and Your mercy are wider than my sins,
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ fa-ṣalli ‘alā Muḥammadin wa-āli Muḥammad,
so bless Muḥammad and the Household of Muḥammad,
وَ تَوَلَّ قَضَاءَ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ هِيَ لِي wa-tawalla qaḍā’a kulli ḥājatin hiya lī
and undertake the fulfilling of every need that is mine,
bi-qudratika ‘alayhā,
by Your power over it,
وَ تَيْسِيرِ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكَ wa-taysīr dhālik ‘alayk,
and the ease of that upon You,
wa-bi-faqrī ilayk
and by my poverty toward You,
wa-ghināk ‘annī,
and Your being free of need for me,
فَإِنِّي لَمْ أُصِبْ خَيْراً قَطُّ إِلَّا مِنْكَ fa-innī lam uṣib khayran qaṭṭu illā mink,
for I have never attained any good at all except from You,
وَ لَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنِّي سُوءاً قَطُّ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ wa-lam yaṣrif ‘annī sū’an qaṭṭu aḥadun ghayruk,
and no one has ever averted evil from me at all other than You,
wa-lā arjū li-amri
and I do not hope for the matter of
آخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ سِوَاكَ ākhiratī wa-dunyāya siwāk.
my Hereafter and my world except You.
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ تَهَيَّأَ وَ تَعَبَّأَ Allāhumm man tahayya’a wa-ta‘abba’a
O God, whoever prepares himself, and equips himself,
wa-a‘adda wa-sta‘adda
and makes ready, and makes preparations,
لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوقٍ li-wifādatin ilā makhlūq
for a delegation to a creature,

hoping for his gift and his supererogatory grants, and seeking his attainment and his prize,
فَإِلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ كَانَتِ الْيَوْمَ fa-ilayk yā Mawlāya kānat-i l-yawm
then to You, O my Master, was today
تَهْيِئَتِي وَ تَعْبِئَتِي tahyi’atī wa-ta‘bi’atī
my preparation and my equipping,
وَ إِعْدَادِي وَ اسْتِعْدَادِي wa-i‘dādī wa-sti‘dādī

O God, so bless Muḥammad and the Household of Muḥammad,
وَ لَا تُخَيِّبِ الْيَوْمَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَجَائِي، wa-lā tukhayyibi l-yawm dhālik min rajā’ī,
and do not disappoint that hope of mine today,
يَا مَنْ لَا يُحْفِيهِ سَائِلٌ yā man lā yuḥfīhi sā’il
O You whom no petitioner tires,
وَ لَا يَنْقُصُهُ نَائِلٌ wa-lā yanquṣuhū nā’il,
and whom no bestower diminishes,
فَإِنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ ثِقَةً fa-innī lam ātika thiqatan
for I did not come to You trusting
مِنِّي بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ قَدَّمْتُهُ minnī bi-‘amalin ṣāliḥin qaddamtu,
in a righteous action I presented,
وَ لَا شَفَاعَةِ مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَوْتُهُ wa-lā shafā‘ati makhlūqin rajawtuh,
and not the intercession of a creature I hoped for,
إِلَّا شَفَاعَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ illā shafā‘ata Muḥammadin wa-ahl baytihī
except the intercession of Muḥammad and his Household,
عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَلَامُكَ ‘alayhi wa-‘alayhim salāmuk
upon him and upon them be Your peace,
أَتَيْتُكَ مُقِرّاً بِالْجُرْمِ وَ الْإِسَاءَةِ إِلَى نَفْسِي ataytuka muqirran bi-l-jurm wa-l-isā’ati ilā nafsī
I came to You confessing the offense and the wrong done to myself,
أَتَيْتُكَ أَرْجُو عَظِيمَ عَفْوِكَ ataytuka arjū ‘aẓīma ‘afwik
I came to You hoping for Your great pardon,
الَّذِي عَفَوْتَ بِهِ عَنِ الْخَاطِئِينَ alladhī ‘afawta bihī ‘ani l-khāṭi’īn
by which You pardoned the sinners,
ثُمَّ لَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ طُولُ عُكُوفِهِمْ عَلَى عَظِيمِ الْجُرْمِ thumma lam yamna‘ka ṭūlu ‘ukūfihim ‘alā ‘aẓīmi l-jurm
and the prolonged devotion of theirs to the grave offense did not prevent You
أَنْ عُدْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ an ‘udta ‘alayhim bi-r-raḥmati wa-l-maghfirah
from returning to them with mercy and forgiveness,
فَيَا مَنْ رَحْمَتُهُ وَاسِعَةٌ fa-yā man raḥmatuhū wāsi‘ah
so O You whose mercy is vast,
wa-‘afwuhū ‘aẓīm,
and whose pardon is great,
yā ‘Aẓīm, yā ‘Aẓīm,
O Great One, O Great One,
yā Karīm, yā Karīm,
O Noble One, O Noble One,

and return to me with Your mercy,

and show me affection with Your favor,
وَ تَوَسَّعْ عَلَيَّ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ. wa-tawassa‘ ‘alayya bi-maghfiratik.
and be vast toward me with Your forgiveness.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَقَامَ لِخُلَفَائِكَ وَ أَصْفِيَائِكَ Allāhumm inna hādhā l-maqāma li-khulafā’ika wa-aṣfiyā’ik
O God, truly this station belongs to Your Successors (Khulafā’) and Your Chosen Ones (Aṣfiyā’),
wa-mawāḍi‘a umanā’ik
and the positions of Your Trustees (Umanā’)

they have been usurped from it,

how You willed and whenever You willed,
وَ لِمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ wa-li-mā anta a‘lamu bih

without being accused concerning Your creation or Your will,
حَتَّى عَادَ صِفْوَتُكَ وَ خُلَفَاؤُكَ ḥattā ‘āda ṣifwatuk wa-khulafā’uk
until Your chosen ones and Your successors became
مَغْلُوبِينَ مَقْهُورِينَ مُبْتَزِّينَ maghlūbīna maqhūrīna mubtazzīn
defeated, subdued, and usurped,
يَرَوْنَ حُكْمَكَ مُبَدَّلًا yarawna ḥukmak mubaddalā
they see Your judgment changed,
wa-kitābak manbūdhā,
and Your Book abandoned,
وَ فَرَائِضَكَ مُحَرَّفَةً عَنْ جِهَاتِ أَشْرَاعِكَ wa-farā’iḍak muḥarrafatan ‘an jihāti ashrā‘ik
and Your ordinances distorted from the directions of Your religious laws,
وَ سُنَنَ نَبِيِّكَ مَتْرُوكَةً wa-sunana nabīyyika matrūkah.
and the practices of Your Prophet abandoned.

O God, curse their enemies from the former and the latter generations,

and do not give him authority over me.
Ilāhī in rafa‘tanī
My God, if You raise me,

and surely only the weak is in need of injustice,
وَ قَدْ تَعَالَيْتَ يَا إِلَهِي wa-qad ta‘ālayta yā Ilāhī
