And if I am written with the unhappy ones, (please) erase my name from this list,

وَاكْتُبْنِي مِنَ السّعَدَاءِ،

And write it with the happy ones,

فَإِنّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ المُنْزَلِ عَلَى نَبِيّكَ المُرْسَلِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ:

For You have said in Your Book that You revealed to Your missioned Prophet, Your peace be upon him and his Household:

(يَمْحُو اللّهُ مَايَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَهُ أُمّ الكِتَابِ)

�Allah makes to pass away and establishes what He pleases, and with Him is the basis of the Book.�

اللّهُمّ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَفِيمَا تُقَدّرُ

O Allah: (please), among the matters that You decide and make,

فِي لَيْلَةِ القَدْرِ

At the Grand Night

مِنَ القَضَاءِ الّذِي لا يُرَدّ وَلا يُبَدّلُ

أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الحَرَامِ

أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمْرِي،

Decide to prolong my lifetime,

وَتُوَسّعَ لِي فِي رِزْقِي.

يَا بَاطِناً فِي ظُهُورِهِ،

O He Who is intrinsic though He is evident,

ويَا ظَاهِراً فِي بُطُونِهِ،

And He Who is evident though He is intrinsic;

وَيَا بَاطِناً لَيْسَ يَخْفَى،

When He is sought, He shall be obtained,

وَلَمْ يَخْلُ مِنْهُ السّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ،

And neither the heavens, nor the earth nor can anything that is between them be empty of Him.

لا يُدْرَكُ بِكَيْفٍ،

He cannot be realized by asking �How is He?�

وَلا يُؤَيّنُ بِأَيْنٍ وَلا بِحَيْثٍ،

And His place cannot be identified by asking, �Where is He?� or �What is His place?�

أَنْتَ نُورُ النّورِ وَرَبّ الأَرْبَابِ،

You are verily the light of all lights and the Lord of all lords.

أَحَطْتَ بِجَمِيعِ الأُمورِ،
