showed favour toward them with messengerhood,

the marvel of Thy creation,
وَ أَوَّلُ مُعْتَرِفٍ مِّنَ الطِّيْنِ بِرُبُوْبِيَّتِكَ
the first made of clay to confess Thy Lordship,
وَبَدْوُ حُجَّتِكَ عَلٰى عِبَادِكَ وَبَرِيَّتِكَ
the beginning of Thy argument against Thy servants and creatures,
وَالدَّلِيْلُ عَلَى الْاِسْتِجَارَةِ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عُقُوْبَتِكَ
the guide to seeking sanctuary in Thy pardon from Thy punishment,
وَ النَّاهِجُ سُبُلَ تَوْبَتِكَ
the opener of the paths of repentance toward Thee,
وَ الْمُوَسَّلُ بَيْنَ الْخَلْقِ وَ بَيْنَ مَعْرِفَتِكَ
the giver of the creatures access to knowledge of Thee,
وَ الَّذِيْ لَقَّنْتَهٗ مَا رَضَيْتَ بِهٖ عَنْهُ بِمَنِّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ
the one concerning whom Thou hast conveyed Thy good pleasure through Thy kindness and Thy mercy toward him,
وَ الْمُنِيْبُ الَّذِيْ لَمْ يُصِرَّ عَلٰى مَعْصِيَتِكَ
the one who turned back and did not persist in disobeying Thee,
وَ سَآبِقُ الْمُتَذَلِّلِيْنَ بِحَلْقِ رَأْسِهٖ فِيْ حَرَمِكَ
the forerunner among the self-abasers, who shaved his head in Thy sacred precinct,
وَ الْمُتَوَسِّلُ بَعْدَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ بِالطَّاعَةِ اِلٰى عَفْوِكَ
and among the seekers of access to Thy pardon, through obedience after disobedience,
وَ أَبُوْ الْاَنْبِيَآءِ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْذُوْا فِي جَنْبِكَ

My Allah,
لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي
let not my enemy gloat over me
وَلَا تَفْجَعْ بِيْ حَمِيْمِيْ وَ صَدِيْقِيْ
and torment not my dear kinsman or friend through me!
اِلٰهِيْ هَبْ لِي لَحْظَةً مِنْ لَحَظَاتِكَ
My Allah, of Thy glances, give me one glance, and thereby
تَكْشِفُ عَنِّيْ مَا ابْتَلَيْتَنِيْ بِهٖ
remove from me that by which Thou hast afflicted me
وَتُعِيدُنِي إلَى أَحْسَنِ عَادَاتِكَ عِنْدِيْ
and return me to the best of Thy customs with me!
وَاسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِيْ وَدُعَاءَ مَنْ أَخْلَصَ لَكَ دُعآءَهٗ فَقَدْ
Respond to my supplication and the supplication of him who devotes his supplication sincerely to Thee,
for my power has become frail,
my stratagems few,
my situation severe,
وَأَيِسْتُ مِمَّا عِنْدَ خَلْقِكَ
and I despair of what is with Thy creatures,
فَلَمْ يَبْقَ لِيْ اِلَّا رَجَآؤُكَ عَلَيَّ
so nothing remains for me but hope in Thee!
My Allah,
اِنَّ قُدْرَتَكَ عَلٰى كَشْفِ مَا اَنَا فِيْهِ كَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلٰى مَا ابْتَلَيْتَنِيْ بِهٖ
surely Thy power to remove that in which I dwell is like Thy power in that with which Thou hast afflicted me!
وَ اِنَّ ذِكْرَ عَوَآئِدِكَ يُوْنِسُنِيْ
And surely the remembrance of Thy acts of kindliness comforts me
وَالرَّجآءُ فِيْ اِنْعَامِكَ وَفَضْلِكَ يُقَوِّيْنِيْ
and hope in Thy showing favour and Thy bounty strengthens me,
لاَِنِّيْ لَمْ أَخْلُ مِنْ نِعْمَتِكَ مُنْذُ خَلَقْتَنِيْ
for I have not been without Thy favour ever since Thou created me.
And Thou, my Allah, art
my place of flight, my asylum,
وَالْحَافِظُ لِيْ وَالذَّآبُّ عَنِّيْ
my protector, my defender,
الْمُتَحَنِّنُ عَلَيَّ الرَّحِيْمُ بِيَ
the loving toward me, the compassionate,
الْمُتَكَفِّلُ بِرِزْقِيْ

فِيْ قَضَآئِكَ كَانَ مَا حَلَّ بِيْ
In Thy decree lay what has settled upon me
وَ بِعِلْمِكَ مَا صِرْتُ اِلَيْهِ
and in Thy knowledge that to which I have come home.
فَاجْعَلْ يا وَلِيِّيْ وَ سَيِّدِيْ فِيْمَا قَدَّرْتَ وَ قَضَيْتَ عَلَيَّ وَحَتَمْتَ
So, my Patron and Master, place within that which Thou hast ordained, decreed, and made unavoidable for me,
عَافِيَتِيْ وَ مَا فِيْهِ صَلَاحِيْ وَ خَلَاصِيْ مِمَّا اَنَا فِيْهِ
my well-being and that wherein lies my soundness and my deliverance from that in which I am!
فَاِنِّيْ لَا اَرْجُو لِدَفْعِ ذلِكَ غَيْرَكَ
I hope for none to repel this other than Thee,
وَلَا أَعْتَمِدُ فِيْهِ اِلَّا عَلَيْكَ
and I rely in it only upon Thee.
فَكُنْ يا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالاِكْرَامِ عِنْدَ اَحْسَنِ ظَنِّيْ بِكَ
O Possessor of majesty and munificence, be with my best opinion of Thee![349]
وَ ارْحَمْ ضَعْفِيْ وَقِلَّةَ حِيْلَتِيْ
Have mercy upon my frailty and the paucity of my stratagems,
remove my distress,
grant my supplication,
ease me from my stumble,
وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِذٰلِكَ وَ عَلٰى كُلِّ دَاعٍ لَكَ
and show kindness to me in that and to everyone who supplicates Thee!
اَمَرْتَنِيْ يَا سَيِّدِيْ بِالدُّعَآءِ وَ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِالْاِجَابَةِ
My Master, Thou hast commanded me to supplicate and undertaken to respond,[350]
وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ الَّذِيْ لَا خُلْفَ فِيْهِ وَلا تَبْدِيْلَ
and Thy promise is the truth in which there is no failing, nor any change.[351]
فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ وَ عَبْدِكَ
So bless Muhammad, Thy prophet and servant,
وَعَلَى الطَّاهِرِيْنَ مِنْ اَهْلِ بَيْتِهٖ
and the pure, the Folk of his House,
and help me, surely Thou art
غِيَاثُ مَنْ لَا غِيَاثَ لَهٗ
the help of him who has no help
وَحِرْزُ مَنْ لَا حِرْزَ لَهٗ
and the stronghold of him who has no stronghold,
وَ اَنَا الْمُضْطَرُّ الَّذِيْ اَوْجَبْتَ
while I am the distressed
اِجَابَتَهُ وَكَشْفَ مَا بِهٖ مِنَ السُّوْ ءِ
the response to whom and the removal of evil from whom Thou hast made obligatory![352]
فَاَجِبْنِيْ وَاكْشِفْ هَمِّيْ
So respond to me, remove my concern,
relieve my gloom,
وَ اَعِدْ حَالِيْ اِلٰى اَحْسَنِ مَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ
return my state to the best it has been,
وَ لَا تُجَازِنِيْ بِالْاِسْتِحْقَاقِ وَ لٰكِنْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِيْ وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ
and repay me not according to what I deserve, but according to Thy mercy which embracest all things,[353]
يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِ
O Possessor of majesty and munificence!
صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
Bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, hear,
وَ اسْمَعْ وَ اَجِبْ يَا عَزِيْزُ

My Allah,
لَيْسَ يَرُدُّ غَضَبَكَ اِلَّا حِلْمُكَ
nothing repels Thy wrath but Thy clemency,
وَلَا يُنْجِيْ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ اِلَّا عَفْوُكَ
nothing delivers from Thy punishment but Thy pardon,
وَلَا يُخَلِّصُ مِنْكَ اِلَّا رَحْمَتُكَ وَ التَّضَرُّعُ اِلَيْكَ
nothing rescues from Thee but Thy mercy and pleading to Thee![355]
فَهَبْ لِيْ يَا اِلٰهِيْ فَرَحًا بِالْقُدْرَةِ الَّتِيْ
So give me, my Allah, relief by means of the power through which
بِهَا تُحْيِيْ مَيْتَ الْبِلَادِ
Thou bringest the dead lands to life
وَ بِهَا تَنْشُرُ اَرْوَاحَ الْعِبَادِ

Destroy me not, and give me the knowledge of Thy response, my Lord!
يَارَبِّ وَ ارْفَعْنِيْ وَ لَا تَضَعْنِيْ

لَيْسَ فِيْ حُكْمِكَ ظُلْمٌ
there is no wrong in Thy decree,
وَلَا فِيْ نَقِمَتِكَ عَجَلَةٌ
and no hurry in Thy vengeance.
اِنَّمَا يَعْجَلُ مَنْ يَخَافُ الْفَوْتَ
He alone hurries who fears to miss,
وَ يَحْتَاجُ اِلَى الظُّلْمِ الضَّعِيْفُ
and only the weak needs to wrong.
وَ قَدْ تَعالَيْتَ عَنْ ذٰلِكَ يا سَيِّدِيْ عُلُوًّا كَبِيْرًا
But Thou art exalted, my Master, high indeed above all that!
My Lord, make me not
the target of affliction
وَ لَا لِنَقِمَتِكَ نَصَبًا
nor the object of Thy vengeance,
وَ مَهِّلْنِيْ وَنَفِّسْنِيْ
respite me, comfort me,
release me from my stumble,
