In the name of Allah, from whom I hope for nothing but bounty,

I rely upon nothing but His word,

وَلاَ أُمْسِكُ إِلاَّ بِحَبْلِهِ

and I cling to nothing but His Rope.

بِكَ أَسْتَجِيـرُ يَا ذَا ٱلْعَفْوِ وَٱلرِّضْوَانِ

In You do I seek sanctuary— O Possessor of pardon and good pleasure—

مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَانِ

mina alzzulmi wal`udwani

from wrong and enmity,

وَمِنْ غِيَرِ ٱلزَّمَانِ

wa min ghiyari alzzamani

from the vicissitudes of time

وَتَوَاتُرِ ٱلأَحْزَانِ

wa tawaturi al-ahzani

from recurrence of sorrows,

وَطَوَارِقِ ٱلْحَدَثَانِ

wa tawariqi alhadathani

from the striking of mishaps,

وَمِنِ ٱنْقِضَاءِ ٱلْمُدَّةِ قَبْلَ ٱلتَّأَهُّبِ وَٱلْعُدَّةِ

wa min inqida'i almuddati qabla altta'ahhubi wal`uddati

وَإِيَّاكَ أَسْتَرْشِدُ لِمَا فيهِ ٱلصَّلاَحُ وَٱلإِصْلاَحُ

wa iyyaka astarshidu lima fihi alssalahu wal-islahu

From You do I seek guidance to that wherein is righteousness and setting aright.

وَبِكَ أَسْتَعينُ فيمَا يَقْتَرِنُ بِهِ ٱلنَّجَاحُ وَٱلإِنْجَاحُ

wa bika asta`inu fima yaqtarinu bihi alnnajahu wal-injahu

From You do I seek help in that which is linked to success and favorable response.

From You do I desire for the garment of wellbeing and its completion,

وَشُمُولِ ٱلسَّلاَمَةِ وَدَوَامِهَا

and the covering of health and its permanence.

وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ ٱلشَّيَاطينِ

wa a`udhu bika ya rabbi min hamazati alshshayatini

I seek refuge in You, O my Lord, from the evil suggestions of the devils.

وَ أَحْتَرِزُ بِسُلْطَانِكَ مِنْ جَوْرِ ٱلسَّلاَطِينِ

wa ahtarizu bisultanika min jawri alssalatini

I seek protection in Your sovereignty from the injustice of the sovereigns.

فَتَقَبَّلْ مَا كَانَ مِنْ صَلاَتِي وَصَوْمِي

So, (please) accept my past prayers and fasting,

وَٱجْعَلْ غَدِي وَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سَاعَتِي وَيَوْمِي

waj`al ghadi wa ma ba`dahu afdala min sa`ati wa yawmi

make my morrow and what is after it better than my present hour and my day,

وَ أَعِزَّنِي فِي عَشيرَتِي وَقَوْمِي

exalt me in my clan and people,

وَٱحْفَظْنِي فِي يَقْظَتِي وَنَوْمِي

and protect me in my waking and sleep,

فَأَنْتَ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظاً

fa-anta allahu khayrun hafizan

for You are Allah, the Best Guardian,

وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ

wa anta arhamu alrrahimina

and You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ فِي يَوْمِي هٰذَا

allahumma inni abra'u ilayka fi yawmi hadha

O Allah, I repudiate, before You on this day of mine

وَمَا بَعْدَهُ مِنَ ٱلآحَادِ

wa ma ba`dahu mina al-ahadi

and on all Sundays that follow it,

مِنَ ٱلشِّرْكِ وَٱلإلْحَادِ

mina alshshirki wal-ilhadi

polytheism and atheism.

وَأُخْلِصُ لَكَ دُعَائِي

wa ukhlisu laka du`a'i

I devote my supplication sincerely to You,

تَعَرُّضَاً لِلإجَابَةِ

وَأُقيمُ عَلَىٰ طَاعَتِكَ

wa uqimu `ala ta`atika

I observe the acts of obedience to You

رَجَاءً لِلإِثَابَةِ

So, (please) bless Muhammad, the best of Your creation

ٱلدَّاعِي إِلَىٰ حَقِّكَ

aldda`i ila haqqika

and the caller to Your truth,

وَ أَعِزَّنِي بِعِزِّكَ ٱلَّذِي لاَ يُضَامُ

wa a`izzani bi`izzika alladhi la yudamu

and fortify me with Your almightiness, which is invulnerable,

وَٱحْفَظْنِي بِعَيْنِكَ ٱلَّتِي لاَ تَنَامُ

wahfazni bi`aynika allati la tanamu

protect me with Your Eye, which never sleeps,

وَٱخْتِمْ بِٱلإِنْقِطَاعِ إِلَيْكَ أَمْرِي

wakhtim bil-inqita`i ilayka amri

and seal my affair by acting devoutly to You

وَبِٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ عُمْرِي

wa bilmaghfirati `umri

and my life with forgiveness!

إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
