O He who overlooks sins and does not inflict punishment in return,

إرْحَمْ عَبْدَكَ يَا اللَّهُ

(please) have mercy on Your servant, O Allah,

I do not find anyone from whom I may seek help;

تَقَطَّعَتْ اسْبَابُ ٱلْخَدَائِعِ عَنِّي

taqa��a`at asb�bu alkhad�'i`i `ann�

so, all profitable avenues have been blocked,

وَاضْمَحَلَّ كُلُّ مَظْنُونٍ عنِّي

and all my expectations have turned into disappointments.

افْرَدَنِِي ٱلدَّهْرُ إِلَيْكَ

Helpless and forsaken I came to You,

فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ هٰذَا ٱلْمَقَامَ

So, how would You deal with me?

وَلَيْتَ شِعْرِي كَيْفَ تَقُولُ لِدُعَائي

If I but knew how would You dispense with my prayer?

اتَقُولُ نَعْمَ امْ تَقُولُ لاَ

Would You say, �Yes� or �No�?

From whom? How? What?

Who shall bestow upon me with his favor when You forsake me?

O Liberal in forgiveness!

But if You say �Yes,� as I expect You to say and as I desire from You,

فَطُوبَىٰ لِي انَا ٱلسَّعيدُ وَانَا ٱلْمَسْعُودُ

then joy is for me, I am successful, I am happy;

فَطُوبِي لِي وَانَا ٱلْمَرْحُومُ

fa��b� l� wa an� almar��mu

then joy is for me, I will receive (Your) mercy.

O Ever-sovereign! O Just!

لاَ عَمَلَ لِي ابْلُغُ بِهِ نَجَاحَ حَاجَتِي

l� `amala l� ablughu bih� naj��a ��jat�

I lack any act due to which I can attain achievement of my desire.

اسْالُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ فِي مَكْنُونِ غَيْبِكَ

as'aluka bismika alladh� ja`altah� f� makn�ni ghaybika

I thus beseech You in the name of Your Name which You have reserved in the innermost of Your Hidden Knowledge

وَٱسْتَقَرَّ عِنْدَكَ فَلاَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْكَ إِلىٰ شَيْءٍ سِوَاكَ

wastaqarra `indaka fal� yakhruju minka il� shay'in siw�ka

and it has thus settled with You so firmly that nothing of it can come out from You to any other thing.

اسْالُكَ بِهِ وَبِكَ فَإنَّهُ اجَلُّ وَاشْرَفُ اسْمَائِكَ

as'aluka bih� wa bika fa'innah� ajallu wa ashrafu asm�'ika

I beseech You by it and by You, for it is certainly the most exalted and honored of Your Names.

لاَ شَيْءَ لِي غَيْرُ هٰذَا

l� shay'a l� ghayru h�dh�

I have nothing to mention except this,

وَلاَ احَدَ اعْوَدُ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ

wa l� a�ada a`wadu `alayya minka

and no one can be more beneficent to me than You.

I have overlooked Your instructions, which You gave me and have not obeyed You.

وَلَوْ اطَعْتُكَ فِيمَا امَرْتَنِي لَكَفَيْتَنِي مَا قُمْتُ إِلَيْكَ فيهِ

wa law a�a`tuka f�m� amartan� lakafaytan� m� qumtu ilayka f�hi

If I obeyed You in what You have ordered me, You would certainly grant my requests that I am presenting before You.

wa an� ma`a ma`�iyat� laka r�jin

In spite of my transgression, I am hopeful for You.

فَلاَ تَحُلْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَا رَجَوْتُ

So, do not let my hope remain unfulfilled.

y� mutara��iman l� a`idhn� min bayni yadayya wa min khalf�

O He Who always has mercy upon me, keep me safe, under Your protection, from (all evils that are) before me, behind me,

وَمِنْ فَوْقِي وَمِنْ تَحْتِي

wa an tuq�lan� `athrat�

overlook my slips,

وَتَسْتُرَ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوبِي

wa tastura `alayya dhun�b�

cover my sins,

وَتَغْفِرَهَا لِي

wa taghfirah� l�

forgive them for me,

وَتَقْضِيَ لِي حَوَائِجِي

wa taq�iya l� �aw�'ij�

settle all my needs,

وَلاَ تُعَذِّبْنِي بِقَبِيحٍ كَانَ مِنِّي

wa l� tu`adhdhibn� biqab��in k�na minn�

and not to punish me for the evildoings that I have committed.

فَإنَّ عَفْوَكَ وَجُودَكَ يَسَعُنِي

fa'inna `afwaka wa j�daka yasa`un�

Verily, Your pardon and magnanimity include me.

إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ

innaka `al� kulli shay'in qad�run

Verily, You have power over all things.

اَللَّهُمَّ انْتَ الَّذِي ٱسْتَجَبْتَ لآِدَمَ وَحَوَّاءَ إِذْ قَالاَ

all�humma anta alladh
� istajabta li-�dama wa �aww�'a idh q�l�

O Allah, it is You who responded to Adam and Eve when they both said,

�رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا انْفُسَنَا

rabban� �alamn� anfusan�

�Our Lord! We have been unjust to ourselves,

وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا

wa in lam taghfir lan� wa tar�amn�

and if You forgive us not and have not mercy on us,

لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَاسِرِينَ.�

lanak�nanna mina alkh�sir�na

we shall certainly be of the losers.�

وَنَادَاكَ نُوحٌ فَٱسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ

wa n�d�ka n��un fastajabta lah�

And when Noah cried to You, You answered him

وَنَجَّيْتَهُ وَاهْلَهُ مِنَ ٱلكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

wa najjaytah� wa ahlal� mina al-karb al`a��mi

and delivered him and his family from the great calamity.

وَاطْفَاْتَ نَارَ نُمْرُودَ عَنْ خَلِيلِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

wa a�fa'ta n�ra numr�da `an khal�lika ibr�h�ma

And it is You who extinguished the fire of Nimrod for Your intimate friend Abraham

فَجَعَلْتَهَا بَرْداً وَسَلاماً

faja`altah� bardan wa sal�man

and thus changed it into coldness and peace.

وَانْتَ ٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَجَبْتَ لايُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ

wa anta alladh� istajabta li-ayy�ba idh n�d�

And it is You Who responded to Job when he cried to You, saying,

�إِنِّي مَسَّنِيَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَانْتَ ارْحَمُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ.�

inn� massaniya al��urru wa anta ar�amu alrr��im�na

�Harm has afflicted me, and You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.�

فَكَشَفْتَ مَا بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ

fakashafta m� bih� min �urrin

Therefore, You took off what harm he had,

وَآتَيْتَهُ اهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ

wa �taytah� ahlah� wa mithlahum ma`ahum

and You gave him his family and the like of them with them:

رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَذِكْرَىٰ لاِوْلِي ٱلالْبَابِ

ra�matan min `indika wa dhikr� li-ulil-alb�bi

a mercy from You and a reminder to the owners of sound intellects.

وَانْتَ ٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَجَبْتَ لِذِي ٱلنُّونِ

wa anta alladh� istajabta lidhilnn�ni

And it is You Who responded to Dhu�l-N�n (i.e. Prophet Jonah)

حِينَ نَادَاكَ فِي ٱلظّلُمَاتِ

��na n�d�ka f� al��ulum�ti

when he cried through the depths of darkness,

انْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ

an l� il�ha ill� anta sub��naka

�There is no god but You. Glory be to You.

إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ

inn� kunti mina al���lim�na

I was indeed of those who are wrong!�

فَنَجَّيْتَهُ مِنَ ٱلغَمِّ

fanajjaytah� mina alghammi

So, You delivered him from distress.

وَانْتَ ٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَجَبْتَ لِمُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ دَعْوَتَهُمَا

wa anta alladh� istajabta lim�s� wa h�r�na da`watahum�

And it is You Who responded to the prayer of Moses and Aaron

حِينَ قُلْتَ �قَدْ اجِيبَتْ دَعْوَتُكُمَا فَٱسْتَقِيمَا.�

��na qulta qad uj�bat da`watukum� fastaq�m�

when You said, �Accepted is your prayer! So, stand you straight.�

وَاغْرَقْتَ فِرعَوْنَ وَقَوْمَهُ

wa aghraqta fir`awna wa qawmah�

You thus drowned Pharaoh and his people.

وَغَفَرْتَ لِدَاوُودَ ذَنْبَهُ

wa ghafarta lid�w�da dhanbah�

You forgave the sin of David

وَتُبْتَ عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةً مِنْكَ وَذِكْرَىٰ

wa tubta `alayhi ra�matan minka wa dhikr�

and accepted his repentance out of Your mercy and as a reminder.

وَفَدَيْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ

wa fadayta ism�`�la bidhib�in `a��min

You ransomed Ishmael with a momentous sacrifice

بَعْدَ مَا اسْلَمَ وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ

ba`da m� aslama wa tallah� lil-jab�ni

after he had submitted his will and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead for sacrifice.

فَنَادَيْتَهُ بِٱلْفَرَجِ وَٱلرَّوْحِ

fan�daytah� bilfaraji walrraw�i

Hence, You called him with relief and comfort.

وَانْتَ ٱلَّذِي نَادَاكَ زَكَرِيَّا نِدَاءً خَفِيّاً

wa anta alladh� n�d�ka zakariyy� nid�'an khafiyyan

And it is You to Whom Zachariah cried in secret,

فَقَالَ �رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ ٱلْعَظْمُ مِنِّي

faq�la rabbi inn� wahana al`a�mu minn�

praying, �O my Lord! Infirm indeed are my bones,

وَٱشْتَعَلَ ٱلرَّاْسُ شَيْباً

washta`ala alrra'su shayban

and the hair of my head has glistened with grey,

وَلَمْ اكُنْ بِدُعَائِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيّاً.�

wa lan akun bidu`�'ika rabbi shaqiyyan

but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in my prayer to You.�

وَقُلْتَ �يَدْعُونَنَا رَغَباً وَرَهَباً

wa qulta yad`�nan� raghaban wa rahaban

And You said, �They used to call on Us with love and reverence

وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ.�

wa k�n� lan� kh�shi`�na

and they humbled themselves before Us.�

وَانْتَ ٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَجَبْتَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوٱ ٱلصَّالِحَاتِ

wa anta alladh� istajabta lilladh�na �man� wa `amil� al���li��ti

And it is You Who responded to those who had believed and done good deeds

لِتَزِيدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ

litaz�dahum min fa�lika

so as to increase Your favor upon them.

فَلاَ تَجْعَلْنِي مِنْ اهْوَنِ ٱلدَّاعِينَ لَكَ وَٱلرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ

fal� taj`aln� min ahwani aldd�`�na laka walrr�ghib�na ilayka

So, (please) do not consider me the most debased suppliant and desirous to You.

وَٱسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا ٱسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُمْ

wastajib l� kam� istajabta lahum

And respond to me in the same way as You responded to them,

 بِحَقِّهِمْ عَلَيْكَ

bi�aqqihim `alayka

(I beseech to You) by their right (that is incumbent) on You.

فَطَهِّرْنِي بِتَطْهِيـرِكَ

Purify me with Your purification,

وَتَقَبَّلْ صَلاَتِي وَدُعَائِي بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ

safeguard me, O my Lord, through my supplication,

وَٱجْعَلْ ذُرِّيَّتِي ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً

Alternate translation....

O My Allah! Thou art He Who heard the prayers of Adam and Hawwaa when they said: �O our Lord we did not listen to the voice of our conscience. Now if Thou does not take a lenient view, and have mercy on us, We shall always be among the losers.� And Nooh cried unto Thee, then Thou heard his prayer, and kept him and his companions safe From the terrible catastrophe. Thou put out the fire set burning by Namrood, for Ibraaheem, Thy friend, who came out from it hail and hearty. Thou art He Who heard the prayer of Ayyoob, when he cried unto his Lord: �Truly, I am hard-pressed and concerned by losses and damages, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.� Then Thou dispersed hardships that were bothering him gave him back his family, And the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Thy store, and a remembrance for men of understanding. Thou art He Who heard the prayer of Noon (Younus). As soon as he cried unto Thee in the darkness: �There is no god save Thee. Be Thou glorified. Surely I have been a wrong-doer.� Then Thou saved him from anguish. Thou art He Who heard the prayers of Moosa and Haroon, When they called (unto Thee). Thou said, �Your prayer is heard. You two keep to the straight path.� Firawn (Pharoah) and his people were drowned. Thou had forgiven mistakes committed by Dawood, and relented towards him through Thy mercy and glory. Thou ransomed Ismaa-eel with a �Zibhin Azeem� (great sacrifice), when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face. Then he received the news of joy and relief. Thou art He unto Whom Zakariyya cried, A cry in secret. Saying: �My Lord! Surely my bones are weak and unsteady, my head is full of grey hair, And I have never been deprived of blessings whenever I prayed to Thee, O my Lord.� Thou said: �They cried unto Me in longing and in fear, and were submissive unto Me.� Thou art He Who hears the prayers of those who believe and do good deeds, Gives them more and more of Thy bounties. So count me not among the unimportant (people) who call on and turn to Thee (in vain). Give answer to my prayer just as Thou heard the prayers of those whom Thou found worthy of Thy attention So purify me with Thy purity, Listen to my prayer and supplication, And kindly accept them Make what is left in my life pure and pleasant, and make easy for me my death, Let me make amends and compensate for misdeeds. Protect me. O my Lord! I call upon Thee. Make my children pure and chaste. Surround them with Thy reliable protection, To save them from all that which degrade and humiliate; Children, every one of them to be among Thy close confidants and obedient servants, through Thy mercy. O the Most Merciful, O He who watches over all things, And gives answer to all those who cry unto Him; And is near to all those who make a request. I beseech Thee, O �There is no god save Thou, The Everliving, the Everlasting, One, Independent, Who begets not nor was begotten, and there is none comparable unto Him.� In the name of all (Thy) Names, Thou employed to raise the sky, To spread out the earth, To set up the mountains, To make water run its course, To keep in control the clouds, the sun, the moon, the stars, the nights, And the days, (so that they work as Thou wills); And thus Thou brought into existence all creations. I beseech Thee, In the name of Thy Sublime Glory which lighted up the heavens and the earth. Darkness spread far and wide over them, Unless �Durood� was recited for Muhammad and the children of Muhammad.

Free me from the worries of life in this world and spare me in the other world. Make better all my affairs. Do not let me rely upon my �Nafs� (source of vain desires and passions) for a flash of an eye. Set my affairs right, and affairs of my dependents. Keep away from me sorrows and poverty, Make me independent. Give them from Thy unknown treasures. Multiply Thy favours that do not ever run out. Let my mind know for certain. And stand firm so that it fills me with wisdom that makes me fit for the company of Thy servants. Put me among the God fearing when Thou will send the Last Imam, Just as Thou elected Ibraheem, the beloved one as the Imam, For certainly, with Thy consent and guidance, the chosen successful attain their end; Turn repentant to Thee the penitent; Worship Thee the devotees; With the help of Thy �True Path�, Remain upright the honest, praiseworthy and secluded worshippers, And take refuge with Thee. On account of the direction in the right way, (Thou shows) the relieved save themselves from the fire, and those who remain on guard against evil get mercy and forgiveness. When forsaken by Thee the triers suffer losses, The (transgressing) oppressors are cast into Hell, The careless are neglected.

O my Allah! Give me peace of mind (a restful soul), For Thou controls the soul, and refines him who keeps it pure. O my Allah! Render it clear and let it feel relieved, Overfill it with wisdom and piety, bless it with inner satisfaction, Through Thy mercy, when Thou stimulates it, And let it take quarters in the pleasant surroundings of the exalted sanctuary, Make it noble, Let it grow in substance, and develop, Be kind when its turn comes to depart, And when it reaches the permanent abode, To live there for ever, allow it to dwell in Paradise, Because Thou art its Friend, and its Master. O Allah! Send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad.
