بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

bismillahi alrrahmani alrrahimi

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful

إِلٰهِي لَيْسَ لِي وَسِيلَةٌ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ عَوَاطِفُ رَأْفَتِكَ

ilahi laysa li wasilatun ilayka illa `awatifu ra'fatika

My God, I have no mediation with You but the tender acts of Your clemency,

وَلاَ لِي ذَرِيعَةٌ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ عَوَارِفُ رَحْمَتِكَ

wa la li dhari`atun ilayka illa `awarifu rahmatika

nor any way to come to You but the gentle favors of Your mercy

وَشَفَاعَةُ نَبِيِّكَ نَبِيِّ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ

wa shafa`atu nabiyyika nabiyyi arrahmati

and the intercession of Your Prophet, the prophet of mercy,

وَمُنْقِذِ ٱلأُمَّةِ مِنَ ٱلْغُمَّةِ

wa munqidhi al-ummati min alghummati

who rescued the community from confusion.

فَٱجْعَلْهُمَا لِي سَبَباً إِلَىٰ نَيْلِ غُفْرَانِكَ

faj`alhuma li sababan ila nayli ghufranika

Make these two my tie to attaining Your forgiveness

وَصَيِّرْهُمَا لِي وُصْلَةً إِلَىٰ ٱلْفَوْزِ بِرِضْوَانِكَ

wa sayyirhuma li wuslatan ila alfawzi biridwanika

and let them take me to triumph through Your good pleasure!

وَقَدْ حَلَّ رَجَائِي بِحَرَمِ كَرَمِكَ

wa qad halla raja'i biharami karamika

My hope has dismounted in the sacred precinct of Your generosity,

وَحَطَّ طَمَعِي بِفِنَاءِ جُودِكَ

wa hatta tama`i bifina'i judika

my craving has alighted in the courtyard of Your munificence.

فَحَقِّقْ فِيكَ أَمَلِي

fahaqqiq fika amali

So, actualize my expectation from You,

وَٱخْتِمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ عَمَلِي

wakhtim bilkhayri `amali

seal my works with good,

وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِنْ صَفْوَتِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحْلَلْتَهُمْ بُحْبُوحَةَ جَنَّتِكَ

waj`alni min safwatika alladhina ahlaltahum buhbuhata jannatika

and place me among Your selected friends, those whom You have set down in the midst of Your Garden,

وَبَوَّأْتَهُمْ دَارَ كَرَامَتِكَ

wa bawwa'tahum dara karamatika

and settled in the abode of Your honor,

وَأَقْرَرْتَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ بِٱلنَّظَرِ إِلَيْكَ يَوْمَ لِقَائِكَ

wa aqrarta a`yunahum binnazari ilayka yawma liqa'ika

whose eyes You have gladdened by gazing upon You on the day of meeting You,

وَأَوْرَثْتَهُمْ مَنَازِلَ ٱلصِّدْقِ فِي جَوَارِكَ

wa awrathtahum manazila assidqi fi jiwarika

and whom You have made heirs to the sure stations in Your neighborhood!

يَا مَنْ لاَ يَفِدُ ٱلْوَافِدُونَ عَلَىٰ أَكْرَمَ مِنْهُ

ya man la yafidu alwafiduna `ala akrama minhu

O He none more generous than whom is reached by the reachers

وَلاَ يَجِدُ ٱلْقَاصِدُونَ أَرْحَمَ مِنْهُ

wa la yajidu alqasiduna arhama minhu

and none more merciful than whom is found by the aimers!

يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ خَلا بِهِ وَحِيدٌ

ya khayra man khala bihi wahidun

O Best of those with whom the lonely are alone!

وَيَا أَعْطَفَ مَنْ آوَىٰ إِلَيْهِ طَرِيدٌ

wa ya a`tafa man awa ilayhi taridun

O most Tender of those with whom outcasts seek haven!

إِلَىٰ سَعَةِ عَفْوِكَ مَدَدْتُ يَدِي

ila sa`ati `afwika madadtu yadi

Toward the expanse of Your pardon have I extended my hand,

وَبِذَيْلِ كَرَمِكَ أَعْلَقْتُ كَفِّي

wa bidhayli karamika a`laqtu kaffi

upon the skirt of Your generosity have I fastened my grasp!

فَلاَ تُولِنِي ٱلْحِرْمَانَ

fala tulini alhirmana

Show me no deprivation

وَلاَ تُبْلِنِي بِٱلْخَيْبَةِ وَٱلْخُسْرَانِ

wa la tublini bilkhaybati walkhusrani

and afflict me not with disappointment and loss!

يَا سَمِيعَ ٱلدُّعَاءِ

ya sami`a addu`a'i

O Hearer of supplications!

يَا أَرْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ

ya arhama arrahimina

O Most Merciful of the merciful!
