اَدْعُوكَ يا سَيِّدي بِلِسانٍ قَدْ اَخْرَسَهُ ذَنْبُهُ، رَبِّ اُناجيكَ بِقَلْبٍ قَدْ اَوْبَقَهُ جُرْمُهُ،

	اَدْعوُكَ يا رَبِّ راهِباً راغِباً، راجِياً خائِفاً،
	اِذا رَاَيْتُ مَوْلايَ ذُنُوبي فَزِعْتُ، وَاِذا رَاَيْتُ كَرَمَكَ طَمِعْتُ،
	فَاِنْ عَفَوْتَ فَخَيْرُ راحِم، وَاِنْ عَذَّبْتَ فَغَيْرُ ظالِم،
	حُجَّتي يا اَللهُ في جُرْأَتي عَلى مَسْأَلَتِكَ، مَعَ اِتْياني ما تَكْرَهُ جُودُكَ وَكَرَمُكَ،
	وَعُدَّتي في شِدَّتي مَعَ قِلَّةِ حَيائي رَأفَتُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ،
	وَقَدْ رَجَوْتُ اَنْ لا تَخيبَ بَيْنَ ذَيْنِ وَذَيْنِ مُنْيَتي،
	فَحَقِّقْ رَجائي، وَاَسْمِعْ دُعائي يا خَيْرَ مَنْ دَعاهُ داع، وَاَفْضَلَ مَنْ رَجاهُ راج،

I pray to Thee, O' my master, with a tongue paralyzed by its sin, O' my Lord, I confide to You with a heart doomed by its mischief;

	I pray to You , O' my Lord, frightened but wishful, hopeful but fearful
	If I think about my sins, O' my Lord, I become scared, but when I remember Thy grace I yearn,
	So, if You forgive, You are the most merciful and if You punish, You  have not unjustly judged.
	My excuse, O' Allah, is in my daring to ask Thee, even though I have committed what You abhor, is Thy benevolence and kindness,
	And my preparation for my adversity, given my audacity in committing sin, is Thy forbearance and mercy.
	And I am wishful that my hope will not be disappointed,
	So fulfill my ambition and accept my prayer, O' The Best who was ever prayed to! O' The Most bountiful to whom we ever request!

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّي كُلَّما قُلْتُ قَدْ تَهَيَّأتُ وَتَعَبَّأتُ وَقُمْتُ لِلصَّلاةِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَناجَيْتُكَ

اَلْقَيْتَ عَلَيَّ نُعاساً اِذا اَنَا صَلَّيْتُ، وَسَلَبْتَني مُناجاتِكَ اِذا اَنَا ناجَيْتُ،

مالي كُلَّما قُلْتُ قَدْ صَلَحَتْ سَريرَتي، وَقَرُبَ مِنْ مَجالِسِ التَّوّابينَ مَجْلِسي، عَرَضَتْ لي بَلِيَّةٌ اَزالَتْ قَدَمي، وَحالَتْ بَيْني وَبَيْنَ خِدْمَتِكَ

سَيِّدي لَعَلَّكَ عَنْ بابِكَ طَرَدْتَني، وَعَنْ خِدْمَتِكَ نَحَّيْتَني

	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَني مُسْتَخِفّاً بِحَقِّكَ فَاَقْصَيْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَني مُعْرِضاً عَنْكَ فَقَلَيْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَني في مَقامِ الْكاذِبينَ فَرَفَضْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَني غَيْرَ شاكِر لِنَعْمائِكَ فَحَرَمْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ فَقَدْتَني مِنْ مَجالِسِ الْعُلَماءِ فَخَذَلْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَني فِى الْغافِلينَ فَمِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ آيَسْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَاَيْتَني آلِفَ مَجالِسِ الْبَطّالينَ فَبَيْني وَبَيْنَهُمْ خَلَّيْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ لَمْ تُحِبَّ اَنْ تَسْمَعَ دُعائي فَباعَدْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ بِجُرْمي وَجَريرَتي كافَيْتَني،
	اَوْ لَعَلَّكَ بِقِلَّةِ حَيائي مِنْكَ جازَيْتَني،

O' Lord! I, whenever I thought I was prepared and ready, and rose to pray, before Thy hands, and confided to Thee,

You cast sleep on me when I pray, and You prevent me from communion with Thee when I want to do so,

Why is it that, whenever I feel content about the goodness of my core, and I become close to the repentants, a sin would occur and cause me to stumble, and deprive me from Thy service,

O' my Master, maybe You have expelled me from Thy door, and retired me from Thy service,

	or maybe You observed my disregard of Thy right on me and thus You distanced me,
	or maybe You saw me headed away from Thy path and thus You withdrew me,
	or maybe You found me to be in the position of the liars so You rejected me,
	or maybe You saw that I was not grateful of Thy rewards so You deprived me,
	or maybe You observed my absence from the assembly of the scholars and thus put me down,
	or maybe You found me to be one of the unheeding so You made me despair from Thy mercy,
	or maybe You found me frequenting the assembly of the foul, so between me and them You deserted me,
	or maybe You did not like to listen to my prayers so You distanced me,
	or maybe You equated me with my crime and sinfulness,
	or maybe You punished me for my lack of shyness from Thee.

فَاِنْ عَفَوْتَ يا رَبِّ فَطالما عَفَوْتَ عَنِ الْمُذْنِبينَ قَبْلي،

	لاَِنَّ كَرَمَكَ اَيْ رَبِّ يَجِلُّ عَنْ مُكافاتِ الْمُقَصِّرينَ،
	وَاَنَا عائِذٌ بِفَضْلِكَ، هارِبٌ مِنْكَ اِلَيْكَ، مُتَنَجِّزٌ ما وَعَدْتَ مِنَ الصَّفْحِ عَمَّنْ اَحْسَنَ بِكَ ظَنّاً،

اِلهي اَنْتَ اَوْسَعُ فَضْلاً، وَاَعْظَمُ حِلْماً مِنْ اَنْ تُقايِسَني بِعَمَلي اَوْ اَنْ تَسْتَزِلَّني بِخَطيئَتي،

وَما اَنَا يا سَيِّدي وَما خَطَري،

	هَبْني بِفَضْلِكَ سَيِّدي،
	وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ،
	وَجَلِّلْني بِسِتْرِكَ،
	وَاعْفُ عَنْ تَوْبيخي بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ.

So if You forgive, O' Lord, You have forgiven the many sinners before me.

	For Thy kindness, O' Lord, is higher than punishing the delinquents,
	and I am seeking refuge with Thy benevolence, and I am escaping from You to Thee, and anticipating Thy promise to pardon those who possess good convictions about Thee.

O' My Lord! You are more vast in Your giving and greater in patience than to judge me according to my deeds, or to let me stumble with my sin.

And who am I, Oh my Master, and what is my danger?

	award me Thy benevolence, O' my Master!
	And render me Thy pardon,
	and cover me with the protection of my secrets,
	and pardon me from Thy chastisement with Thy resplendent face.

بسَيِّدي اَنَا الصَّغيرُ الَّذي رَبَّيْتَهُ، وَاَنَا الْجاهِلُ الَّذي عَلَّمْتَهُ،

وَاَنَا الضّالُّ الَّذي هَدَيْتَهُ، وَاَنَا الْوَضيعُ الَّذي رَفَعْتَهُ،

وَاَنَا الْخائِفُ الَّذي آمَنْتَهُ، وَالْجايِعُ الَّذي اَشْبَعْتَهُ، وَالْعَطْشانُ الَّذي اَرْوَيْتَهُ، وَالْعاري الَّذي كَسَوْتَهُ، وَالْفَقيرُ الَّذي اَغْنَيْتَهُ، وَالضَّعيفُ الَّذي قَوَّيْتَهُ، وَالذَّليلُ الَّذي اَعْزَزْتَهُ، وَالسَّقيمُ الَّذي شَفَيْتَهُ، وَالسّائِلُ الَّذي اَعْطَيْتَهُ، وَالْمُذْنِبُ الَّذي سَتَرْتَهُ، وَالْخاطِئُ الَّذي اَقَلْتَهُ، وَاَنَا الْقَليلُ الَّذي كَثَّرْتَهُ، وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفُ الَّذي نَصَرْتَهُ، وَاَنَا الطَّريدُ الَّذي آوَيْتَهُ،

O' Master! I am the young one whom You have raised, And I am the ignorant whom You have educated,

	And I am the mislead whom You guided, And I am the humiliated whom You elevated,
	And I am the frightened whom You safeguarded, And the hungry whom You fed,
	I am: The thirsty whose thirst You quenched, And the naked whom You dressed, And the poor whom You made wealthy, And the weak whom You strengthened, And the insignificant whom You honored, And the sick whom You cured, And the beggar whom You provided charity to, And the sinner whose secret You made covert, And the wrong doer whom You aided, And I am the insignificant creature that You made important, And the oppressed whom You made victorious, And I am the escapee  to whom You gave refuge,

َاَنَا يا رَبِّ الَّذي لَمْ اَسْتَحْيِكَ فِى الْخَلاءِ، وَلَمْ اُراقِبْكَ فِى الْمَلاءِ،

	اَنَا صاحِبُ الدَّواهِي الْعُظْمى، اَنَا الَّذي عَلى سَيِّدِهِ اجْتَرى،
	اَنَا الَّذي عَصَيْتُ جَبّارَ السَّماءِ،
	اَنَا الَّذي اَعْطَيْتُ عَلى مَعاصِى الْجَليلِ الرُّشا،
	اَنَا الَّذي حينَ بُشِّرْتُ بِها خَرَجْتُ اِلَيْها اَسْعى،
	اَنَا الَّذي اَمْهَلْتَني فَما ارْعَوَيْتُ،
	وَسَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ فَمَا اسْتَحْيَيْتُ، وَعَمِلْتُ بِالْمَعاصي فَتَعَدَّيْتُ،
	وَاَسْقَطْتَني مِنْ عَيْنِكَ فَما بالَيْتُ،
	فَبِحِلْمِكَ اَمْهَلْتَني وَبِسِتْرِكَ سَتَرْتَني حَتّى كَاَنَّكَ اَغْفَلْتَني،
	وَمِنْ عُقُوباتِ الْمَعاصي جَنَّبْتَني حَتّى كَاَنَّكَ اسْتَحْيَيْتَني.

O' my God! I did not disobey You (when I did) because I rebuffed Thy divinity, or because I belittled Thy commands,

	Or that I was daringly challenging Thy punishment, or that I did not appreciate Thy forewarning,
	Yet the mistake has occurred, and my very self has mislead me, and my sinful desires had won over me, and my foolishness had helped me to it, and Thy gentle veil over my sinfulness had lured me,
	For I have disobeyed Thee and opposed Thee with my own effort,

And now who would rescue me from Thy retribution;

and from the hands of Thy punishment tomorrow (in the hereafter) who would redeem me,

and with whose rope do I hold on to if You cut off Thy rope from me?

	So what a pity for what Thy book has recorded on me,
	Which, if it was not for my anticipation of Thy kindness and great mercy, as well as Thy ordering me not to lose hope, I would have certainly despaired when I remembered my sins.
	O' the Best of whom a worshiper has ever prayed, and the Foremost of whom anyone has ever wished!

اَللّهُمَّ بِذِمَّةِ الاِْسْلامِ اَتَوَسَّلُ اِلَيْكَ، وَبِحُرْمَةِ الْقُرْآنِ اَعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْكَ، وَبِحُبِّيَ النَّبِيَّ الاُْمِّيَّ الْقُرَشِيَّ الْهاشِمِيَّ الْعَرَبِيَّ التِّهامِيَّ الْمَكِّيَّ الْمَدَنِيَّ اَرْجُو الزُّلْفَةَ لَدَيْكَ،

فَلا تُوحِشِ اسْتيناسَ ايماني، وَلا تَجْعَلْ ثَوابي ثَوابَ مَنْ عَبَدَ سِواكَ، فَاِنَّ قَوْماً آمَنُوا بِاَلْسِنَتِهِمْ لِيَحْقِنُوا بِهِ دِماءَهُمْ فَاَدْرَكُوا ما اَمَّلُوا، وَإنّا آَمّنا بِكَ بِاَلْسِنَتِنا وَقُلُوبِنا لِتَعْفُوَعَنّا، فَاَدْرِكْنا ما اَمَّلْنا، وَثَبِّتْ رَجاءَكَ في صُدُورِنا، وَلا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدَيْتَنا، وَهَبْ لَنا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْوَهّابُ،

فَوَعِزَّتِكَ لَوِ انْتَهَرْتَني ما بَرِحْتُ مِنْ بابِكَ، وَلا كَفَفْتُ عَنْ تَمَلُّقِكَ لِما اُلْهِمَ قَلْبي مِنَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ بِكَرَمِكَ وَسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ،

	اِلى مَنْ يَذْهَبُ الْعَبْدُ إلاّ اِلى مَوْلاهُ،
	وَاِلى مَنْ يَلْتَجِئُ الَْمخْلُوقُ إلاّ اِلى خالِقِه

O' my Lord! In the name of the marvelous Islam, I implore Thee, And through the wonder of the holy Quran I depend on Thee, And with my love for the unschooled Prophet, who is: of Quraish, The Hashimite, The Arabian, of Tuhama, of Mecca, and of Medina, I seek closeness to Thee. So please:

Do not dispel the purity of my faith, nor cause my ultimate award as that of who worshipped other than Thee. For, there are some who believe only with their tongues to save their lives, so they gather what they wish for, But we believe in Thee with our tongues and with our hearts so You may pardon us. So grant us our wish, And anchor our hope in Thee, in our hearts, And do not let our hearts go astray after You have guided us, And grant us Thy mercy, for You are the Utmost Granter.

And I swear by Thy glory, that even if You dismiss me, I won't depart from Thy door, and I would continue to compliment Thee, for my heart has been inspired with the knowledge of Thy benevolence and vastness of compassion.

	To where would a slave go but to his master,
	To where would a creature seek refuge but to his Creator.

اِلهي لَوْ قَرَنْتَني بِالاَْصْفادِ، وَمَنَعْتَني سَيْبَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الاَْشْهادِ،

	وَدَلَلْتَ عَلى فَضايِحي عُيُونَ الْعِبادِ، وَاَمَرْتَ بي اِلَى النّارِ، وَحُلْتَ بَيْني وَبَيْنَ الاَْبْرارِ،
	ما قَطَعْتُ رَجائي مِنْكَ، وَما صَرَفْتُ وَجْهَ تَأميلي لِلْعَفْوِ عَنْكَ،
	وَلا خَرَجَ حُبُّكَ مِنْ قَلْبي،
	اَنَا لا اَنْسى اَيادِيَكَ عِنْدي، وَسِتْرَكَ عَلَيَّ في دارِ الدُّنْيا.

My Lord! Even if You tie me with chains, And You deprive of the stream of Your favors from me, to be witnessed by others,

	And You point to my scandals to the eyes of Thy worshipers, And You order me to the inferno, And You isolate me from the company of the faithful,
	I would not end my hope in Thee, and I would not dismiss my reassurance of Thy pardon,
	And my love to You would not depart from my heart,
	I do not forget the helping hand You bestowed upon me, and Thy concealing my secrets in the abode of this life.

سَيِّدي اَخْرِجْ حُبَّ الدُّنْيا مِنْ قَلْبي، وَاجْمَعْ بَيْني وَبَيْنَ الْمُصْطَفى وَآلِهِ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَخاتَمِ النَّبِيّينَ مُحَمَّد صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ،

	وَانْقُلْني اِلى دَرَجَةِ الَّتوْبَةِ اِلَيْكَ، وَاَعِنّي بِالْبُكاءِ عَلى نَفْسي،
	فَقَدْ اَفْنَيْتُ بِالتَّسْويفِ وَالاْمالِ عُمْري، وَقَدْ نَزَلْتُ مَنْزِلَةَ الاْيِسينَ مِنْ خَيْري،
	فَمَنْ يَكُونُ اَسْوَأ حالاً مِنّي إنْ اَنَا نُقِلْتُ عَلى مِثْلِ حالي اِلى قَبْري، لَمْ اُمَهِّدْهُ لِرَقْدَتي، وَلَمْ اَفْرُشْهُ بِالْعَمَلِ الصّالِحِ لِضَجْعَتي، وَمالي لا اَبْكي وَلا اَدْري اِلى ما يَكُونُ مَصيري، وَاَرى نَفْسي تُخادِعُني، وَاَيّامي تُخاتِلُني، وَقَدْ خَفَقَتْ عِنْدَ رَأسي اَجْنِحَةُ الْمَوْتِ، فَمالي لا اَبْكي،

O' my Master! Remove the adoration of worldliness from my heart, And unite me with the Mustafa and his family, the highest of Thy creatures and the last of the Prophets, Muhammad, peace from Allah upon him and his family,

	And transfer me to the level of repentance to Thee, And help me to cry for myself
	For I have squandered my life with false hopes, And now I have come to Thee little hope of my goodly works,
	Who can be worse off than I, if now I am passed on to a grave in my present state! that I have not prepared for my repose, and I did not line it up with good deeds for my final sleep, And why would I not weep while I have no knowledge of my fate and I observe my self deceiving itself, and my days are fading away, and the wings of death have flapped close by, So why wouldn't I cry!

سَيِّدي عَلَيْكَ مُعَوَّلي وَمُعْتَمَدي وَرَجائي وَتَوَكُّلي، وَبِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَلُّقي،

	تُصيبُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ وَتَهْدي بِكَرامَتِكَ مَنْ تُحِبُّ،
	فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلى ما نَقَّيْتَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ قَلْبي، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلى بَسْطِ لِساني، اَفَبِلِساني هذَا الْكالِّ اَشْكُرُكَ، اَمْ بِغايَةِ جُهْدي في عَمَلي اُرْضيكَ،
	وَما قَدْرُ لِساني يا رَبِّ في جَنْبِ شُكْرِكَ،
	وَما قَدْرُ عَمَلي في جَنْبِ نِعَمِكَ وَاِحْسانِكَ.

O' Master! I settle my destination, dependence, hope, and reliance upon Thee, And to Thy mercy, I cling;

	You bestow Thy mercy on anyone You please, and You guide by Your compassion anyone You like,
	So praise be to Thee for purifying my heart from ascribing partners to Thee, And praise be to Thee for releasing my tongue, Is it with this incompetent tongue of mine I thank You or is it with my utmost effort do I satisfy Thee?
	And how incapable is my tongue, O' Lord, when it comes to thanking Thee?
	And how insignificant are my good deeds beside Thy gifts and fortitude with me?

اِلهي اِنَّ جُودَكَ بَسَطَ اَمَلي، وَشُكْرَكَ قَبِلَ عَمَلي،

	سَيِّدي اِلَيْكَ رَغْبَتي، وَاِلَيْكَ رَهْبَتي، وَاِلَيْكَ تَأميلي،
	وَقَدْ ساقَني اِلَيْكَ اَمَلي، وَعَلَيْكَ يا واحِدي عَكَفَتْ هِمَّتي،
	وَفيما عِنْدَكَ انْبَسَطَتْ رَغْبَتي، وَلَكَ خالِصُ رَجائي وَخَوْفي،
	وَبِكَ أَنِسَتْ مَحَبَّتي، وَاِلَيْكَ اَلْقَيْتُ بِيَدي، وَبِحَبْلِ طاعَتِكَ مَدَدْتُ رَهْبَتي،

 يا مَوْلايَ بِذِكْرِكَ عاشَ قَلْبي، وَبِمُناجاتِكَ بَرَّدْتُ اَلَمَ الْخَوْفِ عَنّي،

فَيا مَوْلايَ وَيا مُؤَمَّلي وَيا مُنْتَهى سُؤْلي فَرِّقْ بَيْني وَبَيْنَ ذَنْبِيَ الْمانِعِ لي مِنْ لُزُومِ طاعَتِكَ، فَاِنَّما اَسْاَلُكَ لِقَديمِ الرَّجاءِ فيكَ، وَعَظيمِ الطَّمَعِ مِنْكَ، الَّذي اَوْجَبْتَهُ عَلى نَفْسِكَ مِنَ الرَّأفَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ، فَالاَْمْرُ لَكَ، وَحْدَكَ لا شَريكَ لَكَ، وَالْخَلْقُ كُلُّهُمْ عِيالُكَ وَفي قَبْضَتِكَ،  وَكُلُّ شَيْي خاضِعٌ لَكَ، تَبارَكْتَ يا رَبَّ الْعالَمينَ.

O' my Lord! Thy gifting has enhanced my hope in Thee, And praising Thee has accepted my deeds.

	O' my Master! Towards You is my aim, and of You I direct my fear, and to You I direct  meditation,
	And to Thee my hope has driven me, And on Thee, O' Mighty One, I focus my initiative,
	And upon what You possess I unfold my desire, And upon Thee rest my ultimate hope and awe,
	And it is Thee that I adore, And toward Thee I spread my hands open, And with the rope of Thy obedience I ease my fear.

O' my Lord! In Thy remembrance my heart flourishes, And in communion with Thee I relieve the pain of my apprehension.

So, My Lord! And O' the One to whom I hope! And O' the One who is the Ultimate Destination who Grants my request! Separate between me and my sins which disable me from abiding by Thy obedience, For I only ask Thee due to the everlasting hope in You, as well as the coveting of Thee in the fullest, in what You obliged Yourself from compassion and mercy. The command is Yours, for You are the only One without partners, and all creatures are in Thy maintenance and within Thy grip, And everything submits to Thee, blessed are Thee, O' Lord, the Cherisher of the worlds.

اِلهي ارْحَمْني اِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ حُجَّتي وَكَلَّ عَنْ جَوابِكَ لِساني، وَطاشَ عِنْدَ سُؤالِكَ اِيّايَ لُبّي،

	فَيا عَظيمَ رَجائي لا تُخَيِّبْني اِذَا اشْتَدَّتْ فاقَتي، وَلا تَرُدَّني لِجَهْلي،
	وَلا تَمْنَعْني لِقِلَّةِ صَبْري، اَعْطِني لِفَقْري وَارْحَمْني لِضَعْفي،

سَيِّدي عَلَيْكَ مُعْتَمَدي وَمُعَوَّلي وَرَجائي وَتَوَكُّلي،

	وَبِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَلُّقي، وَبِفَنائِكَ اَحُطُّ رَحْلي، وَبِجُودِكَ اَقْصِدُ طَلِبَتي،
	وَبِكَرَمِكَ اَيْ رَبِّ اسْتَفْتِحُ دُعائي، وَلَدَيْكَ اَرْجُو فاقَتي،
	وَبِغِناكَ اَجْبُرُ عَيْلَتي، وَتَحْتَ ظِلِّ عَفْوِكَ قِيامي،
	وَاِلى جُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ اَرْفَعُ بَصَري، وَاِلى مَعْرُوفِكَ اُديمُ نَظَري،

فَلا تُحْرِقْني بِالنّارِ وَاَنْتَ مَوْضِعُ اَمَلي، وَلا تُسْكِنِّىِ الْهاوِيَةَ فَاِنَّكَ قُرَّةُ عَيْني،

	يا سَيِّدي لا تُكَذِّبْ ظَنّي بِاِحْسانِكَ وَمَعْرُوفِكَ فَاِنَّكَ ثِقَتي،
	وَلا تَحْرِمْني ثَوابَكَ فَاِنَّكَ الْعارِفُ بِفَقْري.

O' my God! Bestow Thy mercy upon me when my excuses have failed, and when my tongue has ceased to be able to answer to You, and my intellect has subsided upon Thy questioning,

	So, O' to whom I submit my utmost hope, do not disappoint me when my want has intensified, and do not reject me due to my ignorance,
	And do not deprive me due to my lack of patience.  Provide for me for I am poor, and bestow Thy mercy upon me for I am weak.

O' my Master! Upon You I rest my dependence, destination, hope and reliance,

	And to Thy mercy I cling, And on Thy grounds I conclude my journey, And to Thy generosity I direct my request,
	And with Thy grace, O' Allah, I commence my prayer, And with You I seek relief from my indigence,
	And with Thy wealth I mend my poverty, And under the shadow of Thy pardon I stand,
	And to Thy generosity and benevolence, I raise my eyesight,
	And to Thy favor, I prolong my vision,

So, burn me not in the inferno because You are where I place my hope,

	And, reside me not in the bottomless pit of hell fire
	for You are indeed the comfort of my eye.
	O' my Master! Do not disappoint my expectation in Thy benevolence and Your known favor, because You are my Confidant and Security,
	And do not deprive me of Thy reward for You are Aware of my poverty.

اِلهي اِنْ عَفَوْتَ فَمَنْ اَوْلى مِنْكَ بِالْعَفْوِ، وَاِنْ عَذَّبْتَ فَمَنْ اَعْدَلُ مِنْكَ فِي الْحُكْمِ،

	ارْحَمْ في هذِهِ الدُّنْيا غُرْبَتي، وَعِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ كُرْبَتي،
	وَفِي الْقَبْرِ وَحْدَتي، وَفِي اللَّحْدِ وَحْشَتي،
	وَاِذا نُشِرْتُ لِلْحِسابِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ ذُلَّ مَوْقِفي،
	وَاغْفِرْ لي ما خَفِيَ عَلَى الاْدَمِيّينَ مِنْ عَمَلي، وَاَدِمْ لي ما بِهِ سَتَرْتَني،
	وَارْحَمْني صَريعاً عَلَى الْفِراشِ تُقَلِّبُني اَيْدي اَحِبَّتي،
	وَتَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ مَمْدُوداً عَلَى الْمُغْتَسَلِ يُقَلِّبُني صالِحُ جيرَتي،
	وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ مَحْموُلاً قَدْ تَناوَلَ الاَْقْرِباءُ اَطْرافَ جَنازَتي،
	وَجُدْ عَلَيَّ مَنْقُولاً قَدْ نَزَلْتُ بِكَ وَحيداً في حُفْرَتي،
	وَارْحَمْ في ذلِكَ الْبَيْتِ الْجَديدِ غُرْبَتي، حَتّى لا اَسْتَاْنِسَ بِغَيْرِكَ.

O' my Lord! If the end of my life has neared and my deeds did not bring me near Thee, then I hereby render my admission of sin as my justification.

	O' my Lord! If You pardon, then no one is more worthy of pardoning than Thee, And if You punish, then no one is more just than Thee in judgment,
	O' Lord have mercy toward my estrangement in this life, and my misery upon my death,
	and my solitude in the grave, and my loneliness in the niche,
	and because when I am dispatched for judgment before Thee, have mercy on my unsightly state of affairs,
	and forgive what is concealed from others of my bad deeds, and prolong for me what You have concealed of my sins,
	and confer Thy benevolence on me when I am laying motionless on the death bed so that the beloved of my relatives surround me,
	and grant me Thy gifts when I am stretched on the funeral bath so that the goodly of my community may wash me,
	and bestow Thy tenderness upon me, when I am carried by my relatives, handing over the sides of my coffin,
	and award me Thy generosity when I am transported and finally delivered to be alone in my niche,
	and have mercy on my solitary confinement in this new residence so that I may not be comforted by anyone but Thee.

يا سَيِّدي اِنْ وَكَلْتَني اِلى نَفْسي هَلَكْتُ، سَيِّدي فَبِمَنْ اَسْتَغيثُ اِنْ لَمْ تُقِلْني عَثَرْتي،

	فَاِلى مَنْ اَفْزَعُ اِنْ فَقَدْتُ عِنايَتَكَ في ضَجْعَتي،
	وَاِلى مَنْ اَلْتَجِئُ اِنْ لَمْ تُنَفِّسْ كُرْبَتي

سَيِّدي مَنْ لي وَمَنْ يَرْحَمُني اِنْ لَمْ تَرْحَمْني،

	وَفَضْلَ مَنْ اُؤَمِّلُ اِنْ عَدِمْتُ فَضْلَكَ يَوْمَ فاقَتي،
	وَاِلى مَنِ الْفِرارُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ اِذَا انْقَضى اَجَلي،

سَيِّدي لا تُعَذِّبْني وَاَنَا اَرْجُوكَ، اِلهي حَقِّقْ رَجائي، وَآمِنْ خَوْفي،

فَاِنَّ كَثْرَةَ ذُنُوبي لا اَرْجُو فيها إلاّ عَفْوَكَ،

سَيِّدي اَنَا اَسْاَلُكَ ما لا اَسْتَحِقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَهْلُ التَّقْوى وَاَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ،

	فَاغْفِرْ لي وَاَلْبِسْني مِنْ نَظَرِكَ ثَوْباً يُغَطّي عَلَيَّ التَّبِعاتِ، وَتَغْفِرُها لي وَلا اُطالَبُ بِها،
	اِنَّكَ ذُو مَنٍّ قَديم، وَصَفْحٍ عَظيم، وَتَجاوُزٍ كَريم.

O' my Master! If You entrust me to my affairs, I would perish; then whom do I seek rescue with, My Master, if You would not avert my stumble,

	To whom would I seek shelter if I lost Thy kind care in my dormancy,
	And to whom would I resort to if You do not relieve my plight.

My Master! Who will be on my side and who will bestow mercy on me if You do not?

	And whose bounties would I anticipate if I lack Thy grants on the day of my plight?
	And to where shall I run away from my sins, when my life comes to an end?

My Master! Punish me not while I am pleading to Thee! O' my Lord! Fulfill my desire and allay my apprehension

because I can not avert the consequence of my plentiful sins except with Thy pardon.

My Master! I am asking You for what I do not deserve, but Thee is the Lord of righteousness and the Lord of forgiveness,

	So, forgive for me, and conceal from Thy sight with a cloak that masks my liabilities, thus forgiving me so that I may not be reclaimed with it,
	Indeed, You are the Lord of ancient favor, great pardon and generous forgiveness.

سَيِّدي عَبْدُكَ بِبابِكَ أقامَتْهُ الْخَصاصَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ يَقْرَعُ بابَ اِحْسانِكَ بِدُعائِهِ،

	فَلا تُعْرِضْ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَريمِ عَنّي، وَاَقْبَلْ مِنّي ما اَقُولُ،
	فَقَدْ دَعَوْتُ بِهذَا الدُّعاءِ وَاَنا اَرْجُو اَنْ لا تَرُدَّني، مَعْرِفَةً مِنّي بِرَأفَتِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ،
	اِلهي اَنْتَ الَّذي لا يُحْفيكَ سائِلٌ، وَلا يَنْقُصُكَ نائِلٌ،
	اَنْتَ كَما تَقُولُ وَفَوْقَ ما نَقُولُ.

O' my Master! Thy creature is at Thy doorstep; his despair has rooted him before Thy hands. He knocks on the gate of Thy graciousness with his prayer, and he solicits Thy kindness through his Du'aa,

	So please do not turn away Thy honorable face from me and accept from me what I plead for,
	For I have pleaded with this Du'aa hopeful that You would not turn me down, since I have known of Thy benevolence and mercy.
	O' my Lord! You are not burdened by the pleas of the beseecher, nor are You ever encumbered in rewarding Thy grantee,
	Verily, You are how You describe Thyself and above what we can describe.

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْاَلُكَ صَبْراً جَميلاً، وَفَرَجاً قَريباً، وَقَولاً صادِقاً، وَاَجْراً عَظيماً،

	اَسْاَلُكَ يا رَبِّ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ ما عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَما لَمْ اَعْلَمْ،
	اَسْاَلُكَ اللّهُمَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ ما سَأَلَكَ مِنْهُ عِبادُكَ الصّالِحُونَ،
	يا خَيْرَ مَنْ سُئِلَ، وَاَجْوَدَ مَنْ اَعْطى، اَعْطِني سُؤْلي في نَفْسي وَاَهْلي وَوالِديَّ وَوَلَدي وَاَهْلِ حُزانَتي وَاِخْواني فيكَ، وَاَرْغِدْ عَيْشي، وَاَظْهِرْ مُرُوَّتي، وَاَصْلِحْ جَميعَ اَحْوالي، وَاجْعَلْني مِمَّنْ اَطَلْتَ عُمْرَهُ، وَحَسَّنْتَ عَمَلَهُ، وَاَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَتَكَ، وَرَضِيتَ عَنْهُ وَاَحْيَيْتَهُ حَياةً طَيِّبَةً في اَدْوَمِ السُّرُورِ، وَاَسْبَغِ الْكَرامَةِ، وَاَتَمِّ الْعَيْشِ،

اِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ ما تَشاءُ وَلا يَفْعَلُ ما يَشاءُ غَيْرُك

O' my God! I implore Thee to grant me a rewarding patience, a quick relief, a truthful speech, and a great reward;

	I ask Thee, my Lord, for all the good, whether I know of it or not,
	I ask Thee, my Lord, for the best of what have asked You Thy righteous believers.
	O' You the Foremost of whom was ever asked! and the Most Generous that has ever given, Fulfill my quest for myself, my family, parents, children, proximate community, and the believers in Thee, And enrich my living, and enhance my goodness, and improve all of my affairs, And cause me of those whom You have prolonged his life, and improved his deeds, and completed Thy gifts upon him, and have accepted his deeds, and have been satisfied with him, and made him live a good life; in permanent joy, and utmost honor, and goodly living,
	Indeed, You do as You please, and not as others please.

O' Lord! Distinguish me with Thy distinct remembrance,

	And do not allow any of my deeds by which I seek closeness to Thee, (be it in the midst of nights or the extremes of days), to be: An object of pretension, or seeking of reputation, Or arrogance, or extravagance.
	And cause me to be of those who humble themselves to Thee.

اَللّهُمَّ أعْطِنِى السِّعَةَ فِي الرِّزْقِ، وَالاَْمْنَ فِي الْوَطَنِ،

	وَقُرَّةَ الْعَيْنِ فِي الاَْهْلِ وَالْمالِ وَالْوَلَدِ، وَالْمُقامَ في نِعَمِكَ عِنْدي،
	وَالصِّحَّةَ فِى الْجِسْمِ، وَالْقُوَّةَ فِي الْبَدَنِ، وَالسَّلامَةَ فِى الدّينِ،
	وَاسْتَعْمِلْني بِطاعَتِكَ وَطاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ اَبَداً مَا اسْتَعْمَرَتْني،
	وَاجْعَلْني مِنْ اَوْفَرِ عِبادِكَ عِنْدَكَ نَصيباً في كُلِّ خَيْر اَنْزَلْتَهُ وَتُنْزِلُهُ
	في شَهْرِ رَمَضانَ في لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، وَما اَنْتَ مُنْزِلُهُ في كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مِنْ رَحْمَة تَنْشُرُها، وَعافِيَة تُلْبِسُها، وَبَلِيَّة تَدْفَعُها، وَحَسَناتٍ تَتَقَبَّلُها، وَسَيِّئاتٍ تَتَجاوَزُ عَنْها،
	وَارْزُقْني حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرامِ في عامِنا هذا وَفي كُلِّ عام،
	وَارْزُقْني رِزْقاً واسِعاً مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْواسِعِ،

And grant me:

	the delight in family, and finances, and offspring, and the continued enjoyment of Thy bounties,
	And grant me health and strength in body, and the safeguard in faith,
	And forever utilize me in being obedient to Thee and Thy Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace of Allah upon him and his household), as long as I live,
	And cause me to have the biggest share among Thy worshipers in whatever good You cause to descend,
	especially what You award in the month of Ramadan, in the Night of the Decree, and what You award every year of mercy You dispense, and good health that You harness, and crises that You deter, and good deeds that You accept and bless, and sins that You acquit.
	And allot me with the ability to conduct pilgrimage to Thy holy house in this year and every year thereafter,
	And grant me hefty sustenance from Thy vast bounties,

اِلهي وَسَيِّدي وَعِزَّتِكَ وَجَلالِكَ لَئِنْ طالَبَتْني بِذُنُوبي لاَُطالِبَنَّكَ بِعَفْوِكَ،

	وَلَئِنْ طالَبَتْني بِلُؤْمي لاَُطالِبَنَّكَ بِكَرَمِكَ،
	وَلَئِنْ اَدْخَلْتَنِى النّارَ لاَُخْبِرَنَّ اَهْلَ النّارِ بِحُبّي لَكَ،

اِلهي وَسَيِّدي اِنْ كُنْتَ لا تَغْفِرُ إلاّ لاَِوْلِيائِكَ وَاَهْلِ طاعَتِكَ فَاِلى مَنْ يَفْزَعُ الْمُذْنِبُونَ،

وَاِنْ كُنْتَ لا تُكْرِمُ إلاّ اَهْلَ الْوَفاءِ بِكَ فَبِمَنْ يَسْتَغيثُ الْمُسْيؤُنَ،

اِلهي اِنْ اَدْخَلْتَنِى النّارَ فَفي ذلِكَ سُرُورُ عَدُوِّكَ،

	وَاِنْ اَدْخَلْتَنِى الْجَنَّةَ فَفي ذلِكَ سُرُورُ نَبِيِّكَ،
	وَاَنَا وَاللهِ اَعْلَمُ اَنَّ سُرُورَ نَبِيِّكَ اَحَبُّ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ سُرُورِ عَدُوِّكَ.

O' my Lord and my Master! I swear by Thy might and exalted majesty, that if You seize me by my sins, I will then call upon Thy mercy,

	and if You seize me by my meanness, I will call upon Thy kindness,
	and if You forward me to the inferno, I will inform its inmates about my love of Thee.

O' my Lord and my Master! If Thee were to forgive not but Thy devotees and those who obey Thee, then to whom would the sinners resort to?

And if You were to not honor but the people of loyalty to Thee, then to whom the offenders would resort to?

O' my Lord! If You cause me to enter the hellfire, it will be to the pleasure of Thy enemy,

	But if You cause me to enter paradise, it will be to the delight of Thy Prophet,
	And verily, Oh Allah, I know that the delight of Thy Prophet is more favorable to You than the pleasure of Thy enemy.

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْاَلُكَ اَنْ تَمْلاََ قَلْبي حُبّاً لَكَ، وَخَشْيَةً مِنْكَ،

	وَتَصْديقاً بِكِتابِكَ، وَايماناً بِكَ،
	وَفَرَقاً مِنْكَ، وَشَوْقاً اِلَيْكَ،

يا ذَا الْجَلالِ وَالاِْكْرامِ

	حَبِّبْ اِلَيَّ لِقاءِكَ وَاَحْبِبْ لِقائي،
	وَاجْعَلْ لي في لِقائِكَ الرّاحَةَ وَالْفَرَجَ وَالْكَرامَةَ.

O' my Lord! I ask You to saturate my heart with Thy love, and fear of Thee, and observing Thee,

	And believing in Thy Book, and faith in Thee,
	And fright from Thee, and longing to Thee.

O' the One of Majesty and Honor!

	Render me loving of Thy meeting, and do love my meeting Thee,
	And grant me in meeting Thee comfort, relief, and honor.

اَللّهُمَّ اَلْحِقْني بِصالِحِ مِنْ مَضى، وَاجْعَلْني مِنْ صالِحِ مَنْ بَقي وَخُذْ بي سَبيلَ الصّالِحينَ،

	وَاَعِنّي عَلى نَفْسي بِما تُعينُ بِهِ الصّالِحينَ عَلى اَنْفُسِهِمْ،
	وَاخْتِمْ عَمَلي بِاَحْسَنِهِ، وَاجْعَلْ ثَوابي مِنْهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ،
	وَاَعِنّي عَلى صالِحِ ما اَعْطَيْتَني،
	وَثَبِّتْني يا رَبِّ، وَلا تَرُدَّني في سُوءٍ اسْتَنْقَذْتَني مِنْهُ يا رَبِّ الْعالَمينَ.

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْاَلُكَ ايماناً لا اَجَلَ لَهُ دُونَ لِقائِكَ،

	اَحْيِني ما اَحْيَيْتَني عَلَيْهِ وَتَوَفَّني اِذا تَوَفَّيْتَني عَلَيْهِ،
	وَابْعَثْني اِذا بَعَثْتَني عَلَيْهِ
	وَاَبْرِىءْ قَلْبي مِنَ الرِّياءِ وَالشَّكِّ وَالسُّمْعَةِ في دينِكَ، حَتّى يَكُونَ عَمَلي خالِصاً لَك

	And aid me in restraining myself with whatever You aid Thy righteous believers with,
	And culminate my deeds with their best, and make my reward from it heaven, with Thy mercy,
	And assist me in implementing the virtues that You granted me,
	And anchor me on the right path, O' Lord! And return me not to an error You rescued me from before, O' the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds!

O' my Lord! I ask You to grant me a faith that has no maturity until I meet Thee,

	Prolong my life as long as You maintain me on the faith, and claim my soul as long as You claim my soul while it is on the faith,
	and resurrect me as long as You resurrect me on the faith;
	And purify my heart from pretensions, or doubts, or seeking reputation through Thy religion, so that all my deeds would be solely intended for Thee.

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّي اَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَالْفَشَلِ

	وَالْهَمِّ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْغَفْلَةِ
	وَالْقَسْوَةِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ
	وَالْفَقْرِ وَالْفاقَةِ وَكُلِّ بَلِيَّة،
	وَالْفَواحِشِ ما ظَهَرَ مِنْها وَما بَطَنَ،

وَاَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لا تَقْنَعُ،

	وَبَطْنٍ لا يَشْبَعُ،
	وَقَلْبٍ لا يَخْشَعُ،
	وَدُعاءٍ لا يُسْمَعُ،
	وَعَمَلٍ لا يَنْفَعُ،

وَاَعُوذُ بِكَ يا رَبِّ عَلى نَفْسي وَديني وَمالي وَعَلى جَميعِ ما رَزَقْتَني مِنَ الشَّيْطانِ الرَّجيمَ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ السَّميعُ الْعَليمُ.

My Lord! I seek refuge with You from lethargy, and from failure,

	and from distress, cowardice, stinginess, and unawareness,
	and from cruelty, and the humiliation,
	and from poverty, and the indigence as well as every calamity;
	and from the sins, whether they are apparent or concealed,

And I seek refuge in You from a self that does not get content,

	and a stomach that does not get satisfied,
	and a heart that does not get pious,
	and a prayer that does not get accepted,
	and a deed that is not beneficial.

And I seek refuge in You O' Lord, to safeguard me, and safeguard my religion, my finances, and all of what You awarded me, from the evil of Satan, the accursed; Indeed, You are the One who hears and knows all things.

اَللّهُمَّ اِنَّهُ لا يُجيرُني مِنْكَ اَحَدٌ، وَلا اَجِدُ مِنْ دُونِكَ مُلْتَحَداً، فَلا تَجْعَلْ نَفْسي في شَي مِنْ عَذابِكَ، وَلا تَرُدَّني بِهَلَكَةٍ وَلا تَرُدَّني بِعَذابٍ اَليم.

	اَللّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنّي وَاَعْلِ ذِكْري،
	وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتي، وَحُطَّ وِزْري،
	وَلا تَذْكُرْني بِخَطيئَتي،
	وَاجْعَلْ ثَوابَ مَجْلِسي وَثَوابَ مَنْطِقي وَثَوابَ دُعائي رِضاكَ وَالْجَنَّةَ،
	وَاَعْطِني يا رَبِّ جَميعَ ما سَاَلْتُكَ، وَزِدْني مِنْ فَضْلِكَ،
	اِنّي اِلَيْكَ راغِبٌ يا رَبَّ الْعالَمينَ.

O' my Lord! No one can shield me from Thee, and I cannot find beside Thee any shelter, So do not leave in me a deed worthy of Thy punishment, and do not lead me into jeopardy or a painful retribution.

	O' my Lord! Accept my prayer and enhance my stature,
	And elevate my standing, and reduce my sinful burden.
	And do not deal with me by my bad deeds,
	And let the reward of my presence, and my speaking, and my prayer be in Thy satisfaction, and so heaven.
	And award me, O' Lord, all of what I ask of You and increase it with Thy favors;
	Indeed, I am full of desire toward Thee, O' Lord and Cherisher of the worlds.

يا مَفْزَعي عِنْدَ كُرْبَتي، وَيا غَوْثي عِنْدَ شِدَّتي،

	اِلَيْكَ فَزِعْتُ وَبِكَ اسْتَغَثْتُ وَلُذْتُ، لا اَلُوذُ بِسِواكَ وَلا اَطْلُبُ الْفَرَجَ إلاّ مِنْكَ،
	فَاَغِثْني وَفَرِّجْ عَنّي،

يا مَنْ يَفُكُّ الاَْسيرَ، وَيَعْفُو عَنِ الْكَثيرِ

	اِقْبَلْ مِنِّى الْيَسيرَ وَاعْفُ عَنِّى الْكَثيرَ،
	اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الرَّحيمُ الْغَفُورُ.
	اَللّهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْاَلُكَ ايماناً تُباشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبي
	وَيَقيناً صادِقَاً حَتّى اَعْلَمَ اَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصيبَني إلاَّ ما كَتَبْتَ لي،
	وَرَضِّني مِنَ الْعَيْشِ بِما قَسَمْتَ لي يا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ

	To You I resort, and with You for help I appeal and seek refuge: I do not seek but Thee, nor would I request relief but from Thee,
	So come to my aid, and relieve me.

O' One who liberates the captives, and accepts even the little of good deeds, yet pardons the plethora of sins,

	Accept from me the little good I have done, and forgive for me the plethora of my sins;
	Indeed, You are the Most Merciful and Oft-forgiving.
	O' my Lord! I ask Thee to grant me a faith that You endure my heart on,
	And Certainty in Belief so I ascertain that nothing will happen to me except of what You have destined for me,
	And award me contentment in my livelihood with whatever You have apportioned for me, O' the Most Merciful of the merciful.
