This supplication is one of the masterpieces of the Ṣaḥīfah al-Sajjādiyyah. It is
a supplication bidding adieu to the blessed month of fasting and self-reformation, a month
that is beloved by the friends of Allah. As such, the supplication is read with the sorrow and
sadness, just as one would grieve when saying goodbye to an intimate companion or a near
relative leaving for a year-long journey.

1.O God, O He who desires no repayment!
وَلاَ يَنْدَمُ عَلَى الْعَطَآءِ،
wa yaa mal-laa yandamu a'laal-a't'aaa-i
2.O He who shows no remorse at bestowal!
وَيَا مَنْ لاَ يُكَافِئُ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى السَّوآءِ،
wa yaa mal-laa yukaafi-u a'b-dahoo a'laas-sawaaa-i
3.O He who rewards not His servant tit for tat!
مِنَّتُكَ ابْتِدَاءٌ، وَعَفْوُكَ تَفَضُّلٌ،
min-natuka ab-tidaaa- wa a'f-wuka tafaz''-z''ul
4.Your kindness is a new beginning, Your pardon gratuitous bounty,
وَعُقُوبَتُكَ عَـدْلٌ، وَقَضَاؤُكَ خِيَرَةٌ،
wa u'qoobatuka a'd-l wa qaz''aaaw-uka kheearah
5.Your punishment justice, Your decree a choice for the best!
إنْ أَعْطَيْتَ لَمْ تَشُبْ عَطَآءَكَ بِمَنٍّ،

6.If You bestowest, You stainest not Your bestowal with obligation,
وَإنْ مَنَعْتَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْعُكَ تَعَدِّيا
wa im-mana'-ta lam yakum-man-u'ka taa'd-deeaa
7.and if You withholdest, You withholdest not in transgression.
تَشْكُرُ مَنْ شَكَرَكَ وَأَنْتَ أَلْهَمْتَهُ شُكْرَكَ،
tash-kuru man shkaraka wa anta al-ham-tahoo shuk-rak
8.You showest gratitude to him who thanks You, while You hast inspired him to thank You.
وَتُكَافِئُ مَنْ حَمِدَكَ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّمْتَهُ حَمْدَكَ،
wa tukaafi-u man h'amidaka wa anta a'l-lam-tahoo h'am-dak

وَكِلاَهُمَا أَهْلٌ مِنْكَ لِلْفَضِيحَةِ وَالْمَنْعِ،
wa kilaahumaaa ah-lum-minka lil-faz''eeh'ati wal-man-i'

غَيْرَ أَنَّكَ بَنَيْتَ أَفْعَالَكَ عَلَى التَّفَضُّلِ،
ghay-ra an-nak banay-ta afaa'alaka a'laat-tafaz''-z''ul
13.but You hast founded Your acts upon gratuitous bounty,
وَأَجْرَيْتَ قُدْرَتَكَ عَلَى التَّجَاوُزِ،
wa aj-ray-ta qud-rataka a'laat-tajaawuz
14.channelled Your power into forbearance,
وَتَلَقَّيْتَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ بِالحِلْمِ،

15.received him who disobeyed You with clemency,
وَأَمْهَلْتَ مَنْ قَصَدَ لِنَفْسِهِ بِالظُّلْمِ
wa am-hal-ta man qas'ada linaf-sihee biz'-z'ul-m
16.and disregarded him who intended wrongdoing against himself.
تَسْتَنْظِرُهُمْ بِأَنَاتِكَ إِلَى الْإِنَابَةِ ، وَ تَتْرُكُ مُعَاجَلَتَهُمْ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ
tastanz'iruhum bi naatika ilaal-inaabah wtat-ruku mua'ajalatahum ilaat-taw-bah
17.You awaitest their turning back without haste and refrainest from rushing them toward repentance,
لِكَيْلاَ يَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ هَالِكُهُمْ،
likay-laa yah-lika a'lay-ka haalikuhum
18.so that the perisher among them may not perish because of You
وَلا يَشْقَى بِنِعْمَتِكَ شَقِيُّهُمْ
wa laa yash-qaa binia'-matika shaqee-yuhum
19.and the wretched may not be wretched through Your favour,
إلاَّ عَنْ طُولِ الإِعْذَارِ إلَيْهِ،
il-laa a'n t'oolil-ia'-d'aari ilay-h
20.but only after Your prolonged excusing him
وَبَعْدَ تَرَادُفِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِ
wa baa'-da taraadufil-h'uj-jati a'lay-h
21.and successive arguments against him,
كَرَماً مِنْ عَفْوِكَ يَا كَرِيْمُ،

22.as an act of generosity through Your pardon, O Generous,

wa a'aa-idatam-min a't'-fika yaa h'aleem
23.and an act of kindliness through Your tenderness, O Clement!
أَنْتَ الَّذِيْ فَتَحْتَ لِعِبَادِكَ بَاباً
antal-lad'ee fatah'-ta lii'baadika baaban
24.It is You who hast opened for Your servants a door
إلَى عَفْوِكَ وَسَمَّيْتَهُ التَّوْبَـةَ،
ilaa a'f-wika wasam-may-tahut-taw-bah
25.to Your pardon, which You hast named 'repentance'.
وَجَعَلْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ دَلِيلًا مِنْ وَحْيِكَ
wa jaa'l-ta a'laa d'alikal-baabi daleelam-miw-wah'-yika

27.lest they stray from it: You hast said (blessed is Your Name),
)تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ
(tooboo ilaal-laahee taw-batan-nas'ooh'ana a'saa rab-bukum

ay-yukaf-fira a'nkum say-yi-aatikum wayud-khilakum

33.and they say: 'Our Lord, complete for us our light, and forgive us!
إنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْء قَدِيرٌ(
in-naka a'laa kul-li shay-in qadeerun)
34.Surely You art powerful over everything" (66:8).
فَمَا عُذْرُ مَنْ أَغْفَلَ دُخُولَ ذلِكَ الْمَنْزِلِ
famaa u'd'-ru man agh-fala dukhoola d'alikal-manzili

wa qul-t: (mathalul-lad'eena yunfiqoona am-waalahum fee sabeelil-laahee kamathali h'ab-batin
43.You hast said, "The likeness of those who expend their wealth in the way of God is as the likeness of a grain of corn
أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّئَةُ حَبَّةٍ

46.You hast said, "Who is he that will lend to God a good loan,
فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أضْعَافاً كَثِيرَةً)
fayuz''aai'fahoo lahooo az''-a'afana katheeratah)
47.and He will multiply it for him manifold" (2:245)?
وَمَا أَنْزَلْتَ مِنْ نَظَائِرِهِنَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ تَضَاعِيفِ الْحَسَنَاتِ،
wa maaa anzal-ta min naz'aaa-irihin-na fil-qur-aaani min taz''aae'efil-h'asanaat
48.And You hast sent down in the Qur'an similar verses on the multiplying of good deeds.
وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي دَلَلْتَهُمْ بِقَوْلِكَ مِنْ غَيْبِكَ وَتَرْغِيْبِكَ
wa antal-lad'ee dalal-tahum biqaw-lika min ghay-bika wa tar-gheebika
49.It is You who hast pointed them through Your speech from Your Unseen and Your encouragement

وَلَمْ تَلْحَقْـهُ أَوْهَامُهُمْ
wa lam tal-h'aq-hooo aw-haamuhum-
52.and their imaginations would not have grasped,
فَقُلْتَ):فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُواْ لِي وَلاَ تَكْفُرُونِ(
faqul-ta: (ud'-kurooneee ad'-kur-kum- wa ash-kuroo lee wa laa tak-furoon)
53.for You hast said, "Remember Me and I will remember you be thankful to Me, and be you not thankless towards Me" (2:152)!
وَقُلْتَ: (لَئِنْ شَكَـرْتُمْ لازِيدَنَّكمْ
waqul-ta: (la-in shakar-tum laazeedan-nakum
54.You hast said, "If you are thankful, surely I will increase you,
وَلَئِنْ كَفَـرْتُمْ إنَّ عَذابِيْ لَشَدِيدٌ)
wala-in kafar-tum in-na a'd'aabee lashadeed)
55.but if you are thankless, My chastisement is surely terrible" (14:7);
وَقُلْتَ : (ادْعُونِيْ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ
wa qul-ta: (ud-u'wneee as-tajib lakum
56.And You hast said, "Supplicate Me and I will respond to you,
إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي
in-nal-lad'eena yas-tak-biroona a'n i'baadatee
57.surely those who wax too proud to worship Me
سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ)
sayad-khuloona jahan-nama daakhireen)
58.shall enter Gehenna utterly abject" (40:60).
فَسَمَّيْتَ دُعَاءَكَ عِبَادَةً، وَتَرْكَهُ اسْتِكْبَاراً،
fasam-may-ta dua'aa-aka i'baadah wa tar-kahoo as-tik-baaraa
59.Hence You hast named supplicating You 'worship' and refraining from it 'waxing proud',
وَتَوَعَّدْتَ عَلَى تَرْكِهِ دُخُولَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ،
wa tawaa'-a't-ta a'laa tar-kihee dukhoola jahan-nama daakhireen
60.and You hast threatened that the refraining from it would yield entrance into Gehenna in utter abjection.
فَذَكَرُوكَ بِمَنِّكَ وَشَكَرُوكَ بِفَضْلِكَ،
fad'akarooka biman-nik wa shakarooka bifaz''-lik
61.So they remember You for Your kindness, they thank You for Your bounty,
wa daa'w-ka bi m-rik
62.they supplicate You by Your command,
وَتَصَدَّقُوا لَكَ طَلَباً لِمَزِيدِكَ،
wa tas'ad-daqoo laka t'alabal-limazeedik
63.and they donate for You in order to seek Your increase;
وَفِيهَا كَانَتْ نَجَاتُهُمْ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ،
wa feehaa kaanat najaatuhum min ghaz''abik
64.in all this lies their deliverance from Your wrath
wa faw-zuhum biriz''aak
65.and their triumph through Your good pleasure.
وَلَوْ دَلَّ مَخْلُوقٌ مَخْلُوقاً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ
wa law dal-la makh-looqum-makh-looqam-min-naf-sihee
66.Were any creature himself to direct another creature
عَلَى مِثْلِ الَّذِيْ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عِبَادَكَ مِنْكَ
a'laa mith-lil-lad'ee dalal-ta a'lay-hee i'baadaka minka
67.to the like of that to which You Yourself hast directed Your servants,
كَانَ مَوْصُوفاً بِالْإِحْسَانِ
kaana maw-s'oofam-bil-ih'-saan
68.he would be described by beneficence,

wa man-u'wtam-biiam-tinaan wa mah'-moodam-bikul-li lisaan
69.qualified by kindness, and praised by every tongue.
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَا وُجِدَ فِي حَمْدِكَ مَذْهَبٌ،
falakal-h'am-du maa wujida fee h'am-dika mad'-hab
70.So to You belongs praise as long as there is found a way to praise You
وَمَا بَقِيَ لِلْحَمْدِ لَفْظٌ تُحْمَدُ بِهِ، وَ مَعْنًى يَنْصَرِفُ إِلَيْهِ.
wa maa baqee lil-h'am-di laf-z'un tuh'-madu bihee wa maa'-nana yans'arifu ilay-h
71.and as long as there remains for praising words by which You may be praised and meanings which may be spent in praise!
يَا مَنْ تَحَمَّدَ إِلَى عِبَادِهِ بِالْإِحْسَانِ وَالْفَضْلِ،
yaa man tah'am-mada ilaa i'baadihee bil-ih'-saani wal-faz''-li
72.O He who shows Himself praiseworthy to His servants through beneficence and bounty,
وَغَمَرَهُمْ بِالْمَنِّ وَالطَّوْلِ،
wa ghamarahum bil-man-ni wat'-t'aw-l
73.flooding them with kindness and graciousness!
