O God, from whom nothing is concealed
يَا أَللهُ الَّذِي لاَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ
1
2
in earth or heaven!
شَيْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَآءِ،
2
3
How should what Thou hast created, my God, be
concealed from Thee?
وَكَيْفَ يَخْفى عَلَيْكَ يَا إلهِي مَا أَنْتَ
خَلَقْتَهُ؟
3
4
How shouldst Thou not number what Thou hast made?
وَكَيْفَ لاَ تُحْصِي مَا أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَهُ؟
4
5
How should what Thou governest be absent from Thee?
أَوْ كَيْفَ يَغِيبُ عَنْكَ مَا أَنْتَ تُدَبِّرُهُ؟
5
6
How should one who has no life except through Thy
provision have the ability to flee from Thee?
أَوْ كَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَهْرُبَ مِنْكَ مَنْ
لاَ حَياةَ لَهُ إلاَّ بِرِزْقِكَ؟
6
7
How should one who has no road except in Thy kingdom
escape from Thee?
أَوْ كَيْفَ يَنْجُو مِنْكَ مَنْ لاَ مَذْهَبَ لَهُ
فِي غَيْرِ مُلْكِكَ؟
7
8
Glory be to Thee! He among Thy creatures who fears
Thee most knows Thee best,
سُبْحَانَكَ! أَخْشى خَلْقِكَ لَكَ أَعْلَمُهُمْ بِكَ،
8
9
he among them most bent in humility is most active
in obeying Thee,
وَأَخْضَعُهُمْ لَكَ أَعْمَلُهُمْ بِطَاعَتِكَ،
9
10
and he among them whom Thou providest while he
worships another is most contemptible before Thee!
وَأَهْوَنُهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مَنْ أَنْتَ تَرْزُقُهُ وَهُوَ
يَعْبُدُ غَيْرَكَ،
10
11
Glory be to Thee! He who associates others with Thee
and denies Thy messengers diminishes not Thy
authority.
سُبْحَانَكَ! لاَ يُنْقِصُ سُلْطَانَكَ مَنْ أَشْرَكَ
بِكَ، وَكَذَّبَ رُسُلَكَ،
11
12
He who dislikes Thy decree cannot reject Thy
command.
وَلَيْسَ يَسْتَطِيعُ مَنْ كَرِهَ قَضَآءَكَ أَنْ
يَرُدَّ أَمْرَكَ،
12
13
He who denies Thy power keeps himself not away from
Thee.
وَلاَ يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْكَ مَنْ كَذَّبَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ،
13
14
He who worships other than Thee escapes Thee not.
وَلاَ يَفُوتُكَ مَنْ عَبَدَ غَيْرَكَ،
14
15
He who dislikes meeting Thee will not be given
endless life in this world.
وَلاَ يُعَمَّرُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَنْ كَرِهَ
لِقَآءَكَ.
15
16
Glory be to Thee! How mighty is Thy station,
overpowering Thy authority,
سُبْحَانَكَ! مَا أَعْظَمَ شَأْنَكَ، وَأَقْهَرَ
سُلْطَانَكَ،
16
17
intense Thy strength, penetrating Thy command!
وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّتَكَ، وَأَنْفَذَ أَمْرَكَ!
17
18
Glory be to Thee! Thou hast decreed death for all
Thy creatures,
سُبْحَانَكَ! قَضَيْتَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ
الْمَوْتَ:
18
19
both him who professes Thy Unity and him who
disbelieves in Thee;
مَنْ وَحَّدَكَ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بِكَ،
19
20
each one will taste death,
وَكُلٌّ ذَائِقُ المَوْتِ،
20
21
each one will come home to Thee. Blessed art Thou
and high exalted!
وَكُلٌّ صَائِرٌ إلَيْكَ، فَتَبَارَكْتَ
وَتَعَالَيْتَ،
21
22
There is no god but Thou, Thou alone, who hast no
associate. I have faith in Thee,
لاَ إلهَ إلاَّ أَنْتَ، وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ،
آمَنْتُ بِكَ،
22
23
I attest to Thy messengers, I accept Thy Book,
وَصَدَّقْتُ رُسُلَكَ وَقَبِلْتُ كِتَابَكَ،
23
24
I disbelieve in every object of worship other than
Thee,
وَكَفَرْتُ بِكُلِّ مَعْبُود غَيْرِكَ،
24
25
I am quit of anyone who worships another!
وَبَرِئْتُ مِمَّنْ عَبَدَ سِوَاكَ.
25
26
O God, I rise in the morning and enter the evening
making little of my good works,
أللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أُصْبحُ وَأُمْسِي مُسْتَقِلاًّ
لِعَمَلِي،
26
27
confessing my sins, admitting my offenses;
مُعْتَرِفاً بِذَنْبِي، مُقِرَّاً بِخَطَايَايَ،
27
28
I am abased because of my prodigality against
myself.
أَنَا بِإسْرَافِي عَلَى نَفْسِي ذَلِيلٌ،
28
29
My works have destroyed me, my caprice has ruined
me,
عَمَلِي أَهْلَكَنِي، وَهَوَايَ أَرْدَانِي،
29
30
my passions have deprived me.
وَشَهَوَاتِي حَرَمَتْنِي.
30
31
So I ask Thee, my Master, the asking of him whose
soul is diverted by his drawn out expectations,
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ سُؤالَ مَنْ نَفْسُهُ
لاَهِيَةٌ لِطُولِ أَمَلِهِ،
31
32
whose body is heedless because of the stillness of
his veins,
وَبَدَنُهُ غَافِلٌ لِسُكُونِ عُرُوقِهِ،
32
33
whose heart is entranced by the multitude of favours
done for him,
وَقَلْبُهُ مَفْتُونٌ بِكَثْرَةِ النِّعَمِ عَلَيْهِ،
33
34
whose reflection is little concerning that to which
he is coming home;
وَفِكْرُهُ قَلِيلٌ لِمَا هُوَ صَائِرٌ إلَيْهِ،
34
35
the asking of him whom false expectation has
overcome,
سُؤَالَ مَنْ قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الاَمَلُ،
35
36
caprice has entranced, and this world has mastered,
وَفَتَنَهُ الْهَوى، وَاسْتَمْكَنَتْ مِنْهُ
الدُّنْيَا،
36
37
and over whom death has cast its shadow; the asking
of him who makes much of his sins
وَأَظَلَّهُ الاَجَلُ، سُؤَالَ مَنِ اسْتَكْثَرَ
ذُنُوبَهُ،
37
38
and confesses his offense; the asking of him who has
no Lord but Thou,
وَاعْتَرَفَ بِخَطِيئَتِهِ، سُؤَالَ مَنْ لاَ رَبَّ
لَهُ غَيْرُكَ،
38
39
no friend besides Thee, no one to deliver him from
Thee,
وَلاَ وَلِيَّ لَهُ دُونَكَ، وَلاَ مُنْقِذَ لَهُ
مِنْكَ،
39
40
and no asylum from Thee except in Thee.
وَلاَ مَلْجَأَ لَهُ مِنْكَ إلاَّ إلَيْكَ .
40
41
My God, I ask Thee by Thy right incumbent upon all
Thy creatures,
إلهِي أسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّكَ الْـوَاجِبِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ
خَلْقِكَ،
41
42
by Thy mighty name with which Thou commanded Thy
messenger to glorify Thee,
وَبِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيْمِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتَ رَسُولَكَ
أَنْ يُسَبِّحَكَ بِهِ،
42
43
and by the majesty of Thy generous face, which ages
not,
وَبِجَلاَلِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الذِي لاَ يَبْلى
43
44
nor changes, nor alters, nor passes away,
وَلاَ يَتَغَيَّرُ، وَلاَ يَحُولُ وَلاَ يَفْنى،
44
45
that Thou blessest Muhammad and the Household of
Muhammad,
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد،
45
46
that Thou freest me from need for all things through
worshipping Thee,
وَأَنْ تُغْنِيَنِي عَنْ كُلِّ شَيْء بِعِبادَتِكَ،
46
47
that Thou distractest my soul from this world
through fear of Thee,
وَأَنْ تُسَلِّيَ نَفْسِيْ عَنِ الدُّنْيَا
بِمَخَافَتِكَ،
47
48
and that Thou turnest me back toward Thy abundant
generosity through Thy mercy!
وَأَنْ تُثْنِيَنِي بِالْكَثِيْرِ مِنْ كَرَامَتِكَ
بِرَحْمَتِكَ،
48
49
To Thee I flee, Thee I fear, from Thee I seek aid,
فَإلَيْكَ أَفِرُّ، و مِنْكَ أَخَافُ، وَبِكَ
أَسْتَغِيثُ،
49
50
in Thee I hope, Thee I supplicate, in Thee I seek
asylum,
وَإيَّاكَ أَرْجُو، وَلَكَ أَدْعُو، وَإلَيْكَ
أَلْجَأُ،
50
51
in Thee I trust, from Thee I ask help, in Thee I
have faith,
وَبِكَ أَثِقُ، وَإيَّاكَ أَسْتَعِينُ، وَبِكَ
أُؤمِنُ،
51
52
in Thee I have placed my confidence,
وَعَلَيْكَ أَتَوَكَّلُ،
52
53
and upon Thy munificence and Thy generosity I rely.
وَعَلَى جُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ أَتَّكِلُ.

O God, from whom nothing is concealed in
