رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنا ذُنُوبَنا وَ كَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئاتِنا وَ تَوَفَّنا مَعَ الْأَبْرارِ
“Our Lord! We have heard the call of one calling (Us) to Faith, „Believe ye in the Lord,‟ and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, blot out from us our iniquities, and take to Yourself our souls in the company of the righteous.
رَبَّنا وَ آتِنا ما وَعَدْتَنا عَلى رُسُلِكَ وَ لا تُخْزِنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ
Our Lord! Grant us what You didst promise unto us through Your apostles, and save us from shame on the Day of Judgment: For You never breakest Your promise.‟1 „
رَبَّنا أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَ أَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَاعْتَرَفْنا بِذُنُوبِنا فَهَلْ إِلى خُرُوجٍ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ
Our Lord! Twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! Now have we established our sins: Is there any way out (of this)?‟2 „
رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذابَ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ عَذابَها كانَ غَراماً رَبَّنا هَبْ لَنا مِنْ أَزْواجِنا وَ ذُرِّيَّاتِنا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَ اجْعَلْنا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِماماً
Our Lord! Avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous.‟3 „Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous.‟4
رَبَّنا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنا وَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنا وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ
„…Our Lord! In You do we trust, and to You do we turn in repentance: to You is (our) Final Goal. Our Lord! Make us not a (test and) trial for the Unbelievers, but forgive us, our Lord! For You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise….‟5
رَبَّنا لا تَجْعَلْنا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنا ذُنُوبَنَا وَ لِإِخْوانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونا بِالْإِيمانِ وَ لا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنا غِلًّا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
„Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came before us into the Faith, and leave not, in our hearts, rancour (or sense of injury) against those who have believed.
رَبَّنا إِنَّكَ رَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ
Our Lord! You are indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful.‟ ”
وَ اسْتُرْ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوبِي وَ عُيُوبِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدِ إِنَّكَ الرَّءُوفُ الرَّحِيمُ
Conceal our sins and defects and forgive us for the sake Muhammad and his progeny (saws) surely you are most gracious and merciful

مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ إِذا تُمْنى
from a sperm drop when it is emitted,
يَا مَنْ أَهْلَكَ عاداً الْأُولى وَ ثَمُودَ
O He who destroyed 'Ad the first and Thamud
فَما أَبْقى وَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِنْ قَبْلُ
and left none of them, and the people of Noah before.
إِنَّهُمْ كانُوا هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَ أَطْغى
Indeed, they were more unjust and more rebellious.
يَا مَنْ فَتَحَ أَبْوابَ السَّماءِ بِماءٍ مُنْهَمِرٍ
O He who opened the doors of heaven with pouring water
وَ فَجَّرْنَا الْأَرْضَ عُيُوناً
and caused the earth to burst with springs,
فَالْتَقَى الْماءُ عَلى أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ
so the waters met for a matter already decreed.
يَا مَنْ يَسَّرَ الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ
O He who has made the Quran easy for remembrance,
فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ
so is there any who will remember?

O He who created everything with measure,
يَا مَنْ أَخَذَ آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ
to send blessings on Muhammad and his pure progeny,
وَ أَنْ تَفُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ
and to free my neck from the Fire.
يَا مَنْ أَيَادِيهِ وَ نِعَمُهُ لَا تُحْصَى بِعَدَدٍ
O He whose favors and blessings cannot be counted
وَ لَا تُكَافَى بِعَمَلٍ
or repaid by any action.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي وَ لَمْ أَكُ شَيْئاً مَذْكُوراً
Praise be to Allah, who created me when I was nothing mentioned.
وَ فَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا
And favored me over many of whom He created with a preference.
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي وَ لَمْ أَمْلِكْ شَيْئاً
And praise be to Allah, who provided for me when I possessed nothing,
وَ فَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ فِي الرِّزْقِ
and favored me over many of whom He created in provision.
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ
Praise be to Allah, and I seek forgiveness from Allah for every sin
وَ أَسْأَلُهُ فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ
and ask Him in this day, this hour,
وَ زَمَانِي أَنْ يَتَكَرَّمَ عَلَيَّ بِالْعَفْوِ مِنْ عَذَابِهِ
and this time to be gracious to me with pardon from His punishment,
وَ الْإِقَالَةِ مِنْ عِقَابِهِ وَ الْقَبُولِ لِمَا فَرَضَ عَلَيَّ
relief from His retribution, acceptance of what He has decreed upon me,
وَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
and to grant me the best of this world and the Hereafter.
وَ الْأَمْنَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْغِنَى وَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ
And security, well-being, wealth, and forgiveness.
إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Indeed, You are capable of everything.
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ
