 سُبْحانَكَ ما أَضْيَقَ الطُّرُقَ عَلى مَنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ دَلِيلَهُ! وَما أَوْضَحَ الْحَقَّ عِنْدَ مَنْ هَدَيْتَهُ سَبِيلَه!
إلهِي فاسْلُكْ بِنا سُبُلَ الْوُصُولِ إلَيْكَ، وَسَيِّرْنا فِي أَقْرَبِ الطُّرُقِ لِلْوُفُودِ عَلَيْكَ،
قَرِّبْ عَلَيْنَا الْبَعِيدَ، وَسَهِّلَ عَلَيْنَا الْعَسِيرَ الشَّدِيدَ،
وَأَلْحِقْنا بِعِبادِكَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ بِالْبِدارِ إلَيْكَ يُسارِعُونَ وَبابَكَ عَلَى الدَّوامِ يَطْرُقُونَ،
وَإيَّاكَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهارِ يَعْبُدُونَ، وَهُمْ مِنْ هَيْبَتِكَ مُشْفِقُونَ،
الَّذِينَ صَفَّيْتَ لَهُمُ الْمَشارِبَ،
وَبَلَّغْتَهُمُ الرَّغآئِبَ،
وَأَنْجَحْتَ لَهُمُ الْمَطالِبَ،
وَقَضَيْتَ لَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْمَآرِبَ،
وَمَلأْتَ لَهُمْ ضَمآئِرَهُمْ مِنْ حُبِّكَ
وَرَوَّيْتَهُمْ مِنْ صافِي شِرْبِكَ،
فَبِكَ إلى لَذِيذِ مُناجاتِكَ وَصَلُوا،
وَمِنْكَ أَقْصى مَقاصِدِهِمْ حَصَّلُوا،
فَيا مَنْ هُوَ عَلَى الْمُقْبِلِينَ عَلَيْهِ مُقْبِلٌ،
وَبِالْعَطْفِ عَلَيْهِمْ عآئِدٌ مُفْضِلٌ،
وَبِالْغافِلِينَ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِ رَحِيمٌ رَؤُوفٌ، وَبِجَذْبِهمْ إلى بابِهِ وَدُودٌ عَطُوفٌ،

أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أَوْفَرِهِمْ مِنْكَ حَظّاً، وَأَعْلاهُمْ عِنْدَكَ مَنْزِلاً،
وَأَجْزَلِهِـمْ مِنْ وُدِّكَ قِسَمـاً،
وَأَفْضَلِهِمْ فِي مَعْرِفَتِكَ نَصِيباً،
فَقَدِ انْقطَعَتْ إلَيْكَ هِمَّتِي،
وَانْصَرَفَتْ نَحْوَكَ رَغْبَتِي،
فَأَنْتَ لاَ غَيْرُكَ مُرادِي، وَلَكَ لا لِسِواكَ سَهَرِي وَسُهادِي،
وَلِقاؤُكَ قُرَّةُ عَيْني،
وَوَصْلُكَ مُنى نَفْسِي،
وَإلَيْكَ شَوْقِي،
وَفِي مَحَبَّتِكَ وَلَهِي،
وَإلى هَواكَ صَبابَتِي،
وَرِضاكَ بُغْيَتي،
وَرُؤْيَتُكَ حاجَتِي،
وَجِوارُكَ طَلَبِي، وَقُرْبُكَ غايَةُ سُؤْلِي،

وَفِي مُنَاجَاتِكَ رَوْحِي وَراحَتِي،
وَعِنْدَكَ دَوآءُ عِلَّتِي،
وَشِفآءُ غُلَّتِي،
وَبَرْدُ لَوْعَتِي،
وَكَشْفُ كُرْبَتِي.
فَكُنْ أَنِيْسِي فِي وَحْشَتِي، وَمُقِيلَ عَثْرَتِي، وَغافِرَ زَلَّتِي،
وَقابِلَ تَوْبَتِي،
وَمُجِيبَ دَعْوَتِي،
وَوَلِيَّ عِصْمَتِي،
وَمُغْنِيَ فاقَتِي،
وَلا تَقْطَعْنِي عَنْكَ،
وَلا تُبْعِدْنِي مِنْكَ يا نَعِيمِي وَجَنَّتِي،
وَيا دُنْيايَ وَآخِرَتِي، يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

 

 

Glory be to Thee! How narrow are the paths for him whom You have not guided! And how obvious the truth is for him whom You have guided his way!

bullet

My God, so let us take the paths that lead to Thee, and set us into motion on the paths nearest to reaching Thee!
bullet

Make near for us the far, and ease for us the arduous and the hard!

bullet

And join us with Thy servants, who swiftly hurry to Thee, who knock at Thy door constantly,

bullet

And worship Thee day and night, remaining apprehensive in awe of Thee!

bullet

The ones whom You have purified their intake,
bullet

And taken them to their objective and desire,

bullet

And granted them their requests,

bullet

And fulfilled their wishes through Thy bounty,

bullet

And filled their hearts with Thy love,

bullet

and quenched their thirst with Thy pure drink.

bullet

Through Thee have they reached the sweetness of Munajat (inner) prayer to Thee,
bullet

and in Thee have they achieved their furthest goals.

bullet

O He who hastens toward those who hasten toward Him
bullet

And Who repeatedly grants His gifts and bounty through His compassion for them!

bullet

Who is compassionate and clement even toward the heedless of His remembrance, and loving and tender in drawing them to His door!

 

I ask Thee, dear Lord, to place me among those who have the fullest share from Thee, and the highest station with Thee,

bullet

And the most plentiful portion of Thy love,

bullet

And the highest allotment of Thy knowledge,

bullet

Since my aspiration has been severed from everything but Thee

bullet

And my desire has turned solely toward Thee.

You are my object and none other; and for only Thee I keep awake and sleepless.

bullet

Meeting Thee is the bliss of my eye,

bullet

And joining Thee is the wish of my soul.

bullet

And toward Thee is my yearning,

bullet

And in love for Thee is my passionate longing,

bullet

And in inclining toward Thee is my fervent craving.

bullet

And Thy good pleasure is the aim I seek,

bullet

And the vision of Thee is my need,

bullet

And Thy neighborhood is my request, and nearness to Thee is the utmost object of my asking.

 

 

Lord! In the whispered prayer to Thee I find ease and repose.

bullet

And with Thee lies the remedy of my illness,

bullet

And the cure for my burning thirst,

bullet

And the coolness of my ardor,

bullet

And the removal of my distress.

 

Be my intimate friend in my loneliness, the releaser of my stumble, and the forgiver of my slip,

bullet

And be the accepter of my repentance,

bullet

And the responder to my supplication,

bullet

And the patron to preserve me from sin,

bullet

And the one who frees me from my needs!

bullet

Do not cut me off from Thee

bullet

And keep me not far from Thee, O my bliss and my ecstasy!

 

O You are my this world and my hereafter! O Most Merciful of the merciful!
