بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Bismi llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِي مَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِاسْتِحْكَامِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ Al-ḥamdu lillāhi alladhī manna ‘alayya bistihkāmi al-ma‘rifah
All praise is for Allah who bestowed upon me firm knowledge,
وَالْإِخْلَاصِ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ لَهُ Wal-ikhlāṣi bit-tawḥīdi lah
And sincerity in affirming His Oneness.
وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْغَوَايَةِ وَالْغَبَاوَةِ Wa lam yaj‘alnī min ahli al-ghawāyah wal-ghabāwah
And He did not make me among those of misguidance and ignorance,
وَالشِّرْكِ وَلَا مَنِ اسْتَحْوَذَ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْهِ Wash-shirki wa lā man istaḥwadha ash-shayṭānu ‘alayh
Nor among those overtaken by Satan,
فَأَغْوَاهُ فَأَضَلَّهُ وَاتَّخَذَ إِلٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ Fa-aghwāhu fa-aḍallahū wat-takhadha ilāhahu hawāh
So he misled him and led him astray, making his desire his god.
وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ وَيَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ Wa subḥāna llāhi alladhī yujību al-muḍṭarra wa yakshifu aḍ-ḍurr
Glory be to Allah who answers the distressed and removes harm,
وَيَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَيَمْلِكُ الْخَيْرَ وَالشَّرَّ Wa ya‘lamu as-sirra wa yamliku al-khayra wash-sharr
And knows the secret and controls الخير and الشر,
وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ Wa lā ilāha illā llāh
And there is no god except Allah.
الَّذِي يَحْلُمُ عَنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا عَصَاهُ Alladhī yaḥlumu ‘an ‘abdihi idhā ‘aṣāh
He who is forbearing toward His servant when he disobeys,
وَيَتَلَقَّاهُ بِالْإِسْعَافِ وَالتَّلْبِيَةِ إِذَا دَعَاهُ Wa yatalaqqāhu bil-is‘āfi wat-talbiyah idhā da‘āh
And receives him with help and response when he calls Him,
وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْبَسِيطُ مُلْكُهُ الْمَعْدُومُ شِرْكُهُ Wa llāhu akbar al-basīṭ mulkahu al-ma‘dūm shirkahu
And Allah is the Greatest; vast is His dominion, none shares it,
الْمَجِيدُ عَرْشُهُ الشَّدِيدُ بَطْشُهُ Al-majīd ‘arshuhu ash-shadīd baṭshuh
Glorious is His Throne and severe is His might.
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ Allāhumma innī as’aluka su’āla man lam yajid
O Allah, I ask You as one who finds none,
لِسُؤَالِهِ مَسْؤُولًا سِوَاكَ Li-su’ālihi mas’ūlan siwāk
To answer his request except You,
وَأَعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْكَ اعْتِمَادَ مَنْ لَا يَجِدُ Wa a‘tamidu ‘alayka i‘timāda man lā yajid
And I rely upon You as one who finds none,
لِاعْتِمَادِهِ مُعْتَمَدًا غَيْرَكَ Li-i‘timādihi mu‘tamadan ghayrak
To rely upon other than You.
لِأَنَّكَ الْأَوَّلُ الَّذِي ابْتَدَأْتَ الْإِبْتِدَاءَ Li-annaka al-awwalu alladhī ibtada’ta al-ibtidā’
For You are the First who originated the beginning,
فَكَوَّنْتَهُ بِأَيْدِي تَلَطُّفِكَ Fa-kawwantahu bi-aydi talaṭṭufik
And brought it into being with the hands of Your لطف,
فَاسْتَكَانَ عَلَىٰ مَشِيَّتِكَ مُنْشَأً كَمَا أَرَدْتَ Fa-stakāna ‘alā mashī’atika munsha’an kamā aradta
So it submitted to Your will, created as You intended,
Bi-iḥkāmi at-taqdīr
With precise determination.
وَأَنْتَ أَعَزُّ وَأَجَلُّ أَنْ تُحِيطَ الْعُقُولُ Wa anta a‘azzu wa ajallu an tuḥīṭa al-‘uqūl
And You are too mighty and exalted for minds to encompass,
Bi-mablaghi waṣfik
The extent of Your description.
أَنْتَ الْعَالِمُ الَّذِي لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْكَ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ Anta al-‘ālimu alladhī lā ya‘zubu ‘anka mithqālu dharrah
You are the Knower from whom not even an atom escapes,
فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ Fī al-arḍi was-samā’
In the earth or the heavens,
وَالْجَوَادُ الَّذِي لَا يُبْخِلُكَ إِلْحَاحُ الْمُلِحِّينَ Wal-jawādu alladhī lā yubkhiluka ilḥāḥu al-muliḥḥīn
And the Generous whom persistent asking does not make miserly.
فَإِنَّمَا أَمْرُكَ لِلشَّيْءِ إِذَا أَرَدْتَهُ Fa-innamā amruka li-sh-shay’i idhā aradtah
For Your command, when You will a thing,
أَنْ تَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ An taqūla lahu kun fayakūn
Is only to say “Be,” and it is.
اَمْرُكَ مَاضٍ وَوَعْدُكَ حَتْمٌ وَحُكْمُكَ عَدْلٌ Amruka māḍin wa wa‘duka ḥatm wa ḥukmuka ‘adl
Your command is executed, Your promise is certain, Your judgment is just,
لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْكَ شَيْءٌ وَإِلَيْكَ مَرَدُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ Lā ya‘zubu ‘anka shay’ wa ilayka maraddu kulli shay’
Nothing escapes You, and to You is the return of all things.
اِحْتَجَبْتَ بِآلَائِكَ فَلَا تُرَى Iḥtajabta bi-ālā’ika fa-lā turā
You are veiled by Your blessings and are not seen,
وَشَهِدْتَ كُلَّ نَجْوَىٰ Wa shahidta kulla najwā
Yet You witness every secret conversation,
وَتَعَالَيْتَ عَلَى الْعُلَىٰ Wa ta‘ālayta ‘alā al-‘ulā
And You are exalted above all heights,
وَتَفَرَّدْتَ بِالْكِبْرِيَاءِ Wa tafarradta bil-kibriyā’
And are alone in majesty,
وَتَعَزَّزْتَ بِالْقُدْرَةِ وَالْبَقَاءِ Wa ta‘azzazta bil-qudrah wal-baqā’
And are mighty in power and everlastingness.
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ Fa-laka al-ḥamdu fī al-ākhirati wal-ūlā
So for You is praise in the Hereafter and the first life,
وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ فِي الْبَدْءِ وَالْعُقْبَىٰ Wa laka ash-shukru fī al-bad’i wal-‘uqbā
And for You is thanks in the beginning and the end.
أَنْتَ إِلٰهِي حَلِيمٌ قَادِرٌ رَءُوفٌ غَافِرٌ Anta ilāhī ḥalīm qādir ra’ūf ghāfir
You are my God—Forbearing, Powerful, Kind, Forgiving,
وَمَلِكٌ قَاهِرٌ وَرَازِقٌ بَدِيعٌ Wa malik qāhir wa rāziq badī‘
Sovereign, Subduer, Provider, Originator,
Mujīb samī‘
Responder, All-Hearing.
بِيَدِكَ نَوَاصِي الْعِبَادِ وَقَوَاصِي الْبِلَادِ Bi-yadika nawāṣī al-‘ibād wa qawāṣī al-bilād
In Your hand are the forelocks of servants and the far reaches of lands.
حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ جَوَادٌ مَاجِدٌ كَرِيمٌ رَحِيمٌ Ḥayy qayyūm jawād mājid karīm raḥīm
Ever-Living, Self-Subsisting, Generous, Glorious, Noble, Merciful,
أَنْتَ إِلٰهِي الْمَالِكُ الَّذِي مَلَكْتَ الْمُلُوكَ Anta ilāhī al-māliku alladhī malakta al-mulūk
You are my God, the King who owns all kings,
فَتَوَاضَعَ لِهَيْبَتِكَ الْأَعِزَّاءُ Fa-tawāḍa‘a li-haybatika al-a‘izzā’
So the mighty humble themselves before Your awe,
وَدَانَ لَكَ بِالطَّاعَةِ الْأَوْلِيَاءُ Wa dāna laka biṭ-ṭā‘ah al-awliyā’
And the friends submit to You in obedience.
فَاحْتَوَيْتَ بِإِلٰهِيَّتِكَ عَلَى الْمَجْدِ وَالثَّنَاءِ Fa-iḥtawayta bi-ilāhiyyatika ‘alā al-majd wath-thanā’
Thus, by Your divinity You encompass all glory and praise.
وَلَا يَؤُودُكَ حِفْظُ خَلْقِكَ Wa lā ya’ūduka ḥifẓu khalqik
Guarding Your creation does not burden You,
وَلَا تُهْلِكُ عَطَايَاكَ Wa lā tuhliku ‘aṭāyāk
Nor do Your gifts diminish,
بِمَنْ مَنَحْتَهُ سَعَةَ رِزْقِكَ Bi-man manaḥtahu sa‘ata rizqik
By granting abundance of provision.
وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ Wa anta ‘allāmu al-ghuyūb
And You are the Knower of the unseen,
سَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ عُيُوبِي وَأَحْصَيْتَ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوبِي Satarta ‘alayya ‘uyūbī wa aḥṣayta ‘alayya dhunūbī
You concealed my faults and counted my sins,
وَأَكْرَمْتَنِي بِمَعْرِفَةِ دِينِكَ Wa akramtanī bi-ma‘rifati dīnik
And honored me with knowledge of Your religion.
وَلَمْ تَهْتِكْ عَنِّي سِتْرَكَ يَا حَنَّانُ Wa lam tahtik ‘annī sitrak yā ḥannān
And You did not tear away Your covering from me, O Most Kind,
وَلَمْ تَفْضَحْنِي يَا مَنَّانُ Wa lam tafḍaḥnī yā mannān
And You did not disgrace me, O Bestower.
اَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ As’aluka an tuṣalliya ‘alā Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad
I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
وَأَنْ تُوَسِّعَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ Wa an tuwassi‘a ‘alayya min faḍlika al-wāsi‘
And to expand for me from Your vast bounty,

A wide, lawful, and pure provision,

Through my committing them.

For You are worthy to bestow upon me Your vast mercy,
وَتُنْقِذَنِي مِنْ أَلِيمِ عُقُوبَتِكَ Wa tunqidhani min alīmi ‘uqūbatik
And save me from painful punishment,
وَتُدْرِجَنِي دَرَجَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ Wa tudrijanī daraja al-mukramīn
And raise me to the ranks of the honored.
وَتُلْحِقْنِي مَوْلَايَ بِالصَّالِحِينَ Wa tulḥiqnī mawlāya biṣ-ṣāliḥīn
And join me, my Master, with the righteous,

ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ Udkhulū al-jannata bimā kuntum ta‘malūn
Enter Paradise for what you used to do.
Bi-ṣafḥika wa taghammudik
Through Your pardon and covering,
Yā ra’ūf yā raḥīm
O Kind, O Merciful.
وَأَسْأَلُكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ Wa as’aluka aṣ-ṣalāta ‘alā Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad
And I ask You for blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
وَأَنْ تَحْتَمِلَ عَنِّي وَاجِبَ الْآبَاءِ وَالْأُمَّهَاتِ Wa an taḥtamila ‘annī wājiba al-ābā’i wal-ummahāt
And to bear on my behalf the rights of my parents,

And fulfill their dues for me,
وَأَلْحِقْنِي مَعَهُمْ بِالْأَبْرَارِ Wa alḥiqnī ma‘ahum bil-abrār
