دعا ابوحمزﺓ الثمالى

In the name of Allah, |
Bismillahir rahmanir rahim |
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم |
|||
| O Allah: Do not discipline me by means of Your punishment | ilahe la tu-addibne bi’uqubatik(a) | إلهِي لا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِعُقُوبَتِكَ | |||
| And do not subject me to Your planned strategy | wala tamkur be fe helatik(a) | وَلا تَمْكُرْ بِي فِي حِيلَتِكَ | |||
| How can I attain welfare, O Lord, while it is not found anywhere save with You | min ayna liyal-khayru ya rabbi wala yujadu illa min ’indik(a) | مِنْ أَيْنَ لِيَ الْخَيْرُ يَا رَبِّ وَلا يُوجَدُ إلاّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ؟ | |||
| And how can I find redemption while it cannot be attained save through You, | wamin ayna liyan-najatu wala tusta’ta’u illa bik(a) | وَمِنْ أَيْنَ لِيَ النَّجَاةُ وَلا تُسْتَطَاعُ إلاّ بِكَ؟ | |||
| Neither he who has done righteous deeds can dispense with Your aid and mercy | lalladhe ahsanas-taghna ‘an ‘awnika warahmatik(a | لا الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ عَوْنِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ | |||
| Nor can he who did evildoings, dare to challenge you and did not arrive at Your pleasure find an exit out of Your power | walalladhe asa-a wajtara-a ‘alayka walam yurdhika kharaja ‘an qudratik(a) | وَلا الَّذِي أَسَاءَ وَاجْتَرَأَ عَلَيْكَ وَلَمْ يُرْضِكَ خَرَجَ عَنْ قُدْرَتِكَ | |||
| Repeat this phrase as many times as possible in one breath: | |||||
| O Lord… | ya rabbi... | يَا رَبِّ … | |||
| Through You have I known You | bika ‘arabftuk(a) | بِكَ عَرَفْتُكَ | |||
| You showed me the way to You and invited me to come towards You | wa-anta dalaltane ‘alayka wada'awtane ilaky(a) | وَأَنْتَ دَلَلْتَنِي عَلَيْكَ وَدَعَوْتَنِي إلَيْكَ | |||
| Had it been not You, I would have never known who You are | walawla anta lam adri ma ant(a) | وَلَوْلا أَنْتَ لَمْ أَدْرِ مَا أَنْتَ | |||
| All praise be to Allah alone Who gives answer to me whenever I pray Him | alhamdu lillahil-ladhe ad-’uhu fayujebune | الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي أَدْعُوهُ فَيُجِيبُنِي | |||
| Although I am slow whenever He invites me | wa-in kuntu bate-an hena yad-‘une | وَإنْ كُنْتُ بَطِيئاً حِينَ يَدْعُونِي | |||
| All praise be to Allah alone Who gives me whenever I ask Him | walhamdu lillahil-ladhe as-aluhu fayu’tene | وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي أَسْأَلُهُ فَيُعْطِينِي | |||
| Although I become close-fisted when He asks me | wa-in kuntu bakhelan hena yastaqridhune | وَإنْ كُنْتُ بَخِيلاً حِينَ يَسْتَقْرِضُنِي | |||
| All praise be to Allah alone Whom I call whenever I need something | walhamdu lillahil-ladhe unadehi kullama shi-`tu lihajate | وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي أُنَادِيهِ كُلَّمَا شِئْتُ لِحَاجَتِي | |||
| And Whom I secretly converse whenever I want without need for an intercessor | wa-akhlu bihe haythu shi-`tu lisirre bighayri shafe’(in) | وَأَخْلُو بِهِ حَيْثُ شِئْتُ لِسِرِّي بِغَيْرِ شَفِيعٍ | |||
| He thus settles my need | fayaqdhe le hajate | فَيَقْضِي لِي حَاجَتِي | |||
| All praise be to Allah alone other than Whom I never pray | alhamdu lillahil-ladhe la ad-‘u ghayrah(u) | الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي لا أَدْعُو غَيْرَهُ | |||
| And even if I pray anyone else, he shall never be able to respond to my prayer | walaw da’awtu ghayrahu lam yastajib le du’a-e | وَلَوْ دَعَوْتُ غَيْرَهُ لَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لِي دُعَائِي | |||
| All praise be to Allah alone for other than Whom I do not hope | walhamdu lillahil-ladhe la arju ghayrah(u) | وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي لا أَرْجُو غَيْرَهُ | |||
| And even if I hope for anyone else, he shall certainly disappoint me | walaw rajawtu ghayrahu la-akhlafa raja-e | وَلَوْ رَجَوْتُ غَيْرَهُ لأخْلَفَ رَجَائِي | |||
| All praise be to Allah alone Who has accepted me to depend upon Him and, thus, bestowed favors upon me | walhamdu lillahil-ladhe wakalane ilayhi fa-akramane | وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي وَكَلَنِي إلَيْهِ فَأَكْرَمَنِي | |||
| All praise be to Allah alone Who has accepted me to depend upon Him and, thus, bestowed favors upon me | walhamdu lillahil-ladhe wakalane ilayhi fa-akramane | وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي وَكَلَنِي إلَيْهِ فَأَكْرَمَنِي | |||
| He has not left me to the people who will thus definitely humiliate me | walam yakilne ilan-nasi fayuhenune | وَلَمْ يَكِلْنِي إلَى النَّاسِ فَيُهِينُونِي | |||
| All praise be to Allah alone Who has sought my friendship while He can dispense with me | walhamdu lillahil-ladhe tahabbaba ilayya wahuwa ghaniyyun ‘anne | وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي تَحَبَّبَ إلَيَّ وَهُوَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِّي | |||
| (All) praise be to Allah (alone) Who showed Himself gentle and considerate towards me as if I have not sinned | walhamdu lillahil-ladhe yahlumu ‘anne hatta ka-anne la dhanba le | وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي يَحْلُمُ عَنِّي حَتَّى كَأَنِّي لا ذَنْبَ لِي | |||
| Accordingly, my Lord is the only One Whom I should thank and He is the worthiest of being thanked by me | farabbe ahmadu shay-in ‘inde wa-ahaqqu bihamde | فَرَبِّي أَحْمَدُ شَيْءٍ عِنْدِي وَأَحَقُّ بِحَمْدِي | |||
| O Allah, I find the courses to asking from You wide open | allahumma inne ajidu subulal-matalibi ilayka mushra’a(tan) | اللّهُمَّ إنِّي أَجِدُ سُبُلَ الْمَطَالِبِ إلَيْكَ مُشْرَعَةً | |||
| And I find the springs to hoping for You overflowing | wamanahilar-raja-i ladayka mutra’a(tan) | وَمَنَاهِلَ الرَّجَاءِ لَدَيْكَ مُتْرَعَةً | |||
| And I find seeking the help of Your favor reachable for them who have hopefully looked forward to You | walisti’anata bifadhlika liman ammalaka mubaha(tan) | وَالإسْتِعَانَةَ بِفَضْلِكَ لِمَنْ أَمَّلَكَ مُبَاحَةً | |||
| And I find the doors of praying You vulnerable for them who cry to You | wa-abwabad-du’a-i ilayka lis-sarikhena maftuha(tan) | وَأَبْوَابَ الدُّعَاءِ إلَيْكَ لِلصَّارِخِينَ مَفْتُوحَةً | |||
| And I know for sure that You give favorable reply to the petitioners | wa-a’lamu annaka lir-raji’ena bimawdhi’i ijaba(tin) | وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ لِلرَّاجِين بِمَوْضِعِ إجَابَةٍ | |||
| And that You relentlessly succor the aggrieved | walilmalhufena bimarsadi ighatha(tin) | وَلِلْمَلْهُوفِينَ بِمَرْصَدِ إغَاثَةٍ | |||
| And that to long for Your beneficence and to accept Your will and judgement are well compensation for that which the close-fisted misers deny | wa-anna fil-lahfi ila judika war-ridha biqadha-ika ‘iwadhan min man’il-bakhilen(a) | وَأَنَّ فِي اللَّهْفِ إلَى جُودِكَ وَالرِّضَا بِقَضَائِكَ عِوَضاً مِنْ مَنْعِ الْبَاخِلِينَ | |||
| And an alternative to that which is possessed by the stingy | wanduhatan ‘amma fe aydil-musta-thiren(a) | وَمَنْدُوحَةً عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي الْمُسْتَأْثِرِينَ | |||
| And that he who travels towards You will easily reach his destination | wa-annar-rahila ilayka qarebul-masafa(ti) | وَأَنِّ الرَّاحِـلَ إلَيْكَ قَرِيبُ الْمَسَافَةِ | |||
| And that You do not conceal Yourself against Your creatures unless their evildoings stand between them and You | wa-annaka la tahtajibu ‘an khalqika illa an tahjibahumul-a’malu dunak(a) | وَأَنَّكَ لا تَحْتَجِبُ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ إلاّ أَنْ تَحْجُبَهُمُ الأَعْمَالُ دُونَكَ | |||
| I am thus turning to You carrying my appeals | waqad qasadtu ilayka bitalibate | وَقَدْ قَصَدْتُ إلَيْكَ بِطَلِبَتِي | |||
| And I am directing towards You carrying my needs | watawajjahtu ilayka bihajate | وَتَوَجَّهْتُ إلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي | |||
| And I have sought the help of You alone | waja’altu bikas-tighathate | وَجَعَلْتُ بِكَ اسْتِغَاثَتِي | |||
| And I am begging You through my prayer although I do not deserve to be observed by You or to be pardoned by You | wabidu’a-ika tawassule min ghayris-tihqaqin listima’ika minne walastejabin li’afwika ‘anne | وَبِدُعَائِكَ تَوَسُّلِي مِنْ غَيْرِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ لاسْتِمَاعِكَ مِنِّي وَلا اسْتِيجَابٍ لِعَفْوِكَ عَنِّي | |||
| Rather I have full confidence in Your generosity | ballithiqate bikaramik(a) | بَلْ لِثِقَتِي بِكَرَمِكَ | |||
| And I have relied upon the truthfulness of Your promise | wasukune ila sidqi wa’dik(a) | وَسُكُونِي إلَى صِدْقِ وَعْدِكَ | |||
| And I have sought shelter with my faith in Your Oneness and my certitude in the fact -which you know- that I have no Lord other than You | walaja-e ilal-emani bitawhedika wayaqene bima’rifatika minne an la rabba le ghayruk(a) | وَلَجَائِي إلَى الإيمَانِ بِتَوْحِيدِكَ وَيَقِينِي بِمَعْرِفَتِكَ مِنِّي أَنْ لا رَبَّ لِي غَيْرُكَ | |||
| And there is no god save You | wala ilaha illa ant(a) | وَلا إلهَ إلاَّ أَنْتَ | |||
| Alone without having any partner | wahdaka la shareka lak(a) | وَحْدَكَ لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ | |||
| O Allah: It is You Who have said, and Your sayings are always true | allahumma antal-qa-ilu waqawluka haqq(un) | اللّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْقَائِلُ وَقَوْلُكَ حَقٌّ | |||
| And Your promise is always valid: | wawa’duka sidq(un) | وَوَعْدُكَ صِدْقٌ: | |||
| “Ask Allah of His bounty. Verily Allah is ever Merciful to you.” | was-alul-llaha min fadhlihe innal-llaha kana bikum rahema(n) | ”وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيماً.“ | |||
| It is not Your habit, O my Chief, that You instruct (us) to implore You and then You stop giving (us) | walaysa min sifatika ya sayyide an ta-`mura bissu-ali watamna’al-‘atiyya(ta) | وَلَيْسَ مِنْ صِفَاتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ تَأْمُرَ بِالسُّؤَالِ وَتَمْنَعَ الْعَطِيَّةَ | |||
| And You are the All-benefactor Who confers upon the people of Your Kingdom with (innumerable) donations | wa-antal-mannanu bil-‘atiyyati ‘ala ahli mamlakatik(a) | وَأَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بِالْعَطِيَّاتِ عَلَى أَهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِكَ | |||
| And You are the All-generous Who meets them with the kindness of Your compassion | wal-‘a-idu ‘alayhim bitahannuni ra-`fatik(a) | وَالْعَائِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِتَحَنُّنِ رَأْفَتِكَ. | |||
| O my God: You brought me up amid Your bounties and favors when I was little | ilahe rabbaytane fe ni’amika wa-ihsanika saghera(n) | إلهِي رَبَّيْتَنِي فِي نِعَمِكَ وَإحْسَانِكَ صَغِيراً | |||
| And You have mentioned me when I have grown up | wanawwahta bisme kabera(n) | وَنَوَّهْتَ بِاسْمِي كَبِيراً | |||
| So, O He Who brought me up in this world with His bounties, favors, and graces | faya man rabbane fiddunya bi-ihsanihe watafadhdhulihe wani’amih(e) | فَيَا مَنْ رَبَّانِي فِي الدُّنْيَا بِإحْسَانِهِ وَتَفَضُّلِهِ وَنِعَمِهِ | |||
| And, in the Hereafter, will have referred to me with His amnesty and generosity | wa-ashara le fil-akhirati ila ‘afwihe wakaramih(e) | وَأَشَارَ لِي فِي الآخِرَةِ إلَى عَفْوِهِ وَكَرَمِهِ | |||
| My acquaintance with You, O my Lord, is the path taking me to You | ma’rifate ya mawlaya dalele ‘alayk(a) | مَعْرِفَتِي يَا مَوْلايَ دَلِيلِي عَلَيْكَ | |||
| And my love for You is the intermediary between You and me | wahubbe laka shafe’e ilayk(a) | وَحُبِّي لَكَ شَفِيعِي إلَيْكَ | |||
| And I am sure of the path to which You have lead me | wa-ana wathiqun min dalele bidalalatik(a) | وَأَنَا وَاثِقٌ مِنْ دَلِيلِي بِدَلالَتِكَ | |||
| And I rely upon my intermediary’s success before You | wasakinun min shafe’e ila shafa’atik(a) | وَسَاكِنٌ مِنْ شَفِيعِي إلَى شَفَاعَتِكَ | |||
| I pray You, O my Chief, with a tongue muted by its sins | ad-‘uka ya sayyidie bilisanin qad akhrasahu dhanbuh(u) | أَدْعُوكَ يَا سَيِّدِي بِلِسَانٍ قَدْ أَخْرَسَهُ ذَنْبُهُ | |||
| O Lord! I confidentially speak to You with a heart degraded by its offenses | rabbi unajeka biqalbin qad awbaqahu jurmuh(u) | رَبِّ أُنَاجِيكَ بِقَلْبٍ قَدْ أَوْبَقَهُ جُرْمُهُ | |||
| I pray You, O Lord, with terror, desire, hope, and fear | ad-‘uka ya rabbi rahiban raghiban rajiyan kha-ifa(n) | أَدْعُوكَ يَا رَبِّ رَاهِباً رَاغِباً رَاجِياً خَائِفاً | |||
| Whenever I think of my sins, O my Master, I panic | idha ra-aytu mawlaya dhunube fazi’t(u) | إذَا رَأَيْتُ مَوْلايَ ذُنُوبِي فَزِعْتُ | |||
| But when I think of Your generosity, I feel desirous (for Your pardon) | wa-idha ra-aytu karamaka tami’t(u) | وَإذَا رَأَيْتُ كَرَمَكَ طَمِعْتُ | |||
| Therefore, if You forgive me, You are already the best of those who show mercy | fa-in ‘afawta fakhayru rahim(in) | فَإنْ عَفَوْتَ فَخَيْرُ رَاحِمٍ | |||
| And If punish me, You are then not wronging me | wa-in ‘adhdhabta faghayru ¨alim(in) | وَإنْ عَذَّبْتَ فَغَيْرُ ظَالِمٍ | |||
| Yet, it is Your munificence and Your generosity, O Allah, that gave me the courage to pray You despite that I have committed things that You dislike | hujjate ya allahu fe jur-ate ‘ala mas-alatika ma’a ityane ma takrahu juduka wakaramuk(a) | حُجَّتِي يَا اللّهُ فِي جُرْأَتِي عَلَى مَسْأَلَتِكَ مَعَ إتْيَانِي مَا تَكْرَهُ جُودُكَ وَكَرَمُكَ | |||
| And it is Your kindness and mercy that I use as my means during misfortunes inflicting me despite my shamelessness | wa’uddate fe shiddate ma’a qillati haya-e ra-fatuka warahmatuk(a) | وَعُدَّتِي فِي شِدَّتِي مَعَ قِلَّةِ حَيَائِي رَأْفَتُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ | |||
| I thus hope that my expectation will not be disappointed amid these two matters | waqad rajawtu an la takheba bayna dhayni wadhayni munyate | وَقَدْ رَجَوْتُ أَنْ لا تَخِيبَ بَيْنَ ذَيْنِ وَذَيْنِ مُنْيَتِي | |||
| So, make my hopes become real | fahaqqiq raja-e | فَحَقِّقْ رَجَائِي | |||
| And please do answer my prayers | wasma’ du’a-e | وَاسْمَعْ دُعَائِي | |||
| O the Greatest Besought One that has been ever besought | ya khayra man da’ahu da’(in) | يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ دَعَاهُ دَاعٍ | |||
| And the Most Favorable Hoped One | wa-afdhala man rajahu raj(in) | وَأَفْضَلَ مَنْ رَجَاهُ رَاجٍ | |||
| My expectation, O my Chief, has been great but my deed has been bad | ‘a¨uma ya sayyide amale wasa-a ‘amale | عَظُمَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَمَلِي وَسَاءَ عَمَلِي | |||
| So grant me Your pardon as much as my expectation | fa-a’tine min ‘afwika bimiqdari amale | فَأَعْطِنِي مِنْ عَفْوِكَ بِمِقْدَارِ أَمَلِي | |||
| And do not punish me for the worst of my deed | wala tu-akhidhne bi-aswa-i ‘amale | وَلا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِأَسْوَءِ عَمَلِي | |||
| Verily, Your generosity is too great to be compared to the penalty of the guilty | fa-inna karamaka yajillu ‘an mujazatil-mudhniben(a) | فَإنَّ كَرَمَكَ يَجِلُّ عَنْ مُجَازَاةِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ | |||
| And Your tolerance is too immense to be compared to the punishment of the negligent | wahilmaka yakburu ‘an mukafa-atil-muqassiren(a) | وَحِلْمَكَ يَكْبُرُ عَنْ مُكَافأَةِ الْمُقَصِّرِينَ | |||
| And I, O my Chief, am seeking refuge with Your benevolence | wa-ana ya sayyide ‘a-idhun bifadhlik(a) | وَأَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي عَائِذٌ بِفَضْلِكَ | |||
| And I am fleeing from You towards You | haribun minka ilayk(a) | هَارِبٌ مِنْكَ إلَيْكَ | |||
| Hoping for the amnesty that You have promised to confer upon him who keeps good idea about You | mutanajjizun ma wa’adta minas-safhi ‘amman ahsana bika ¨anna(n) | مُتَنَجِّزٌ مَا وَعَدْتَ مِنَ الصَّفْحِ عَمَّنْ أَحْسَنَ بِكَ ظَنّاً | |||
| What am I? O Lord! And what importance do I have? | wama ana ya rabbi wama khatare | وَمَا أَنَا يَا رَبِّ؟ وَمَا خَطَرِي | |||
| Do me a favor out of Your benevolence | habne bifadhlik(a) | هَبْنِي بِفَضْلِكَ | |||
| And be charitable to me by means of pardoning me | watasaddaq ‘alayya bi’afwik(a) | وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ | |||
| O my Lord! Cover me with Your protective covering | ay rabbi jallilne bisatrik(a) | أَيْ رَبِّ جَلِّلْنِي بِسِتْرِكَ | |||
| And overlook reproaching me out of the generosity of Your Face | wa’fu ‘an tawbekhe bikarami wajhik(a) | وَاعْفُ عَنْ تَوْبِيخِي بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ | |||
| In fact, if anyone other than You have watched me while committing these sins, I may not commit them | falawit-tala'al-yawma ‘ala dhanbe ghayruka ma fa’altuh(u) | فَلَوِ اطَّلَعَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ذَنْبِي غَيْرُكَ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ | |||
| And had I anticipated immediateness of punishment, I might have avoided doing them | walaw khiftu ta’jelal-‘uqubati lajtanabtuh(u) | وَلَوْ خِفْتُ تَعْجِيلَ الْعُقُوبَةِ لاجْتَنَبْتُهُ | |||
| Yet, this does not mean that You are the least important of those who watch over me | la li-annaka ahwanun-na¨irena ilayy(a) | لا لأنَّكَ أَهْوَنُ النَّاظِرِينَ إلَيَّ | |||
| Or You are the least weighty of those who observe me | wa-akhaffal-mut-tali'ena ‘alayy(a) | وَأَخَفُّ الْمُطَّلِعِينَ عَلَيَّ | |||
| Rather, this is because You, O my Lord, are the best of those who cover up (one’s defects) | bal li-annaka ya rabbi khayrus-satiren(a) | بَلْ لأنَّكَ يَا رَبِّ خَيْرُ السَّاتِرِينَ | |||
| And the wisest of those who judge | wa-ahkamul-hakimen(a) | وَأَحْكَمُ الْحَاكِمِينَ | |||
| And the most generous of those who act generously | wa-akramul-akramen(a) | وَأَكْرَمُ الأَكْرَمِينَ | |||
| The concealer of defects | sattarul-‘uyub(i) | سَتَّارُ الْعُيُوبِ | |||
| the Forgiver of sins | ghaffarudh-dhunub(i) | غَفَّارُ الذُّنُوبِ | |||
| the Knower of the unseen | allamul-ghuyub(i) | عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ | |||
| You conceal the defects out of Your liberality | tasturudh-dhanba bikaramik(a) | تَسْتُرُ الذَّنْبَ بِكَرَمِكَ | |||
| And puts off punishment because of Your forbearance | watu-akhkhirul-‘uqubata bihilmik(a) | وَتُؤَخِّرُ الْعُقُوبَةَ بِحِلْمِكَ | |||
| Hence, all praise be to You, for You act tolerably although You have full knowledge | falakal-hamdu ‘ala hilmika ba’da ‘ilmik(a) | فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى حِلْمِكَ بَعْدَ عِلْمِكَ | |||
| And for Your pardon even Though You have the absolute authority | wa’ala ‘afwika ba’da qudratik(a) | وَعَلَى عَفْوِكَ بَعْدَ قُدْرَتِكَ | |||
| It is Your forbearance to me that gives me latitude and makes me dare to break Your laws | wayahmilune wayujarri-une ‘ala ma’siyatika hilmuka ‘anne | وَيَحْمِلُنِي وَيُجَرِّئُنِي عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ حِلْمُكَ عَنِّي | |||
| And it is Your concealing my faults that makes me act shamelessly before You | wayad-‘une ila qillatil-haya-i sitruka ‘alayy(a) | وَيَدْعُونِي إلَى قِلَّةِ الْحَيَاءِ سِتْرُكَ عَلَيَّ | |||
| And it is my acquaintance with the broadness of Your mercy and the magnitude of Your pardon that make me hurry to violate that which You have deemed forbidden | wayusarri’une ilat-tawaththubi ‘ala maharimika ma’rifate bisa’ati rahmatika wa’a¨emi ‘afwik(a) | وَيُسْرِعُنِي إلَى التَوَثُّبِ عَلَى مَحَارِمِكَ مَعْرِفَتِي بِسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَعَظِيمِ عَفْوِكَ | |||
| O Indulgent, O Compassionate, |
|
يَا حَلِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ | |||
| O Ever-living, O Eternal, | ya hayyu ya qayyum(u) | يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ | |||
| O Forgiver of sins, | ya ghafiradh-dhanb(i) | يَا غَافِرَ الذَّنْبِ | |||
| O Accepter of repentance | ya qabilat-tawb(i) | يَا قَابِلَ التَّوْبِ | |||
| O Owner of matchless bounties, | ya ‘a¨emal-mann(i) | يَا عَظِيمَ الْمَنِّ | |||
| O He who has been doing favors since eternity. | ya qademal-ihsan(i) | يَا قَدِيمَ الإحْسَانِ | |||

| O All-gracious, O All-compassionate | ya mun’imu ya mufdhil(u) | يَا مُنْعِمُ يَا مُفْضِلُ | |||
| In my salvation from Your punishment, I do not rely upon my deeds rather I depend on Your liberal generosity to us | lastu attakilu fin-najati min ‘iqabika ‘ala a’malina bal bifadhlika ‘alayna | لَسْتُ أَتَّكِلُ فِي النَّجَاةِ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِنَا بَلْ بِفَضْلِكَ عَلَيْنَا | |||
| Because You are verily the Lord of righteousness and the Lord of forgiveness | li-annaka ahlut-taqwa wa-ahlul-maghfira(ti) | لأنَّكَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ | |||
| You take the initiative in doing good out of Your graciousness | tubdi-u bil-ihsani ni’ama(n)c | تُبْدِئُ بِالإحْسَانِ نِعَماً | |||
| And You overlook the sins out of Your generosity | wata’fu ‘anidh-dhanbi karama(n) | وَتَعْفُو عَنِ الذَّنْبِ كَرَماً | |||
| We thus do not know which of Your graces we should thank | fama nadre ma nashkur(u) | فَمَا نَدْرِي مَا نَشْكُرُ | |||
| Should it be the handsome elegance that you spread over us, or our offensive deeds that you conceal? | ajamela ma tanshuru am qabeha ma tastur(u) | أَجَمِيلَ مَا تَنْشُرُ أَمْ قَبِيحَ مَا تَسْتُرُ؟ | |||
| Or should it be the fabulous favor that You grant and present, or the numerous misfortunes from which You have saved and relieved? | am ‘a¨ema ma ablayta wa-awlayta am kathera ma minhu najjayta wa-‘afayt(a) | أَمْ عَظِيمَ مَا أَبْلَيْتَ وَأَوْلَيْتَ أَمْ كَثِيرَ مَا مِنْهُ نَجَّيْتَ وَعَافَيْتَ؟ | |||
| O the Beloved of those who endear themselves to Him | ya habeba man tahabbaba ilayk(a) | يَا حَبِيبَ مَنْ تَحَبَّبَ إلَيْكَ | |||
| O the delight of the eyes of those who resort to Him and communicate Him incessantly | waya qurrata ‘ayni man ladha bika wanqata’a ilayk(a) | وَيَا قُرَّةَ عَيْنِ مَنْ لاذَ بِكَ وَانْقَطَعَ إلَيْكَ | |||
| You are the All-benevolent and we are the malevolent | antal-muhsinu wanahnul-muse-un(a) | أَنْتَ الْمُحْسِنُ وَنَحْنُ الْمُسِيئُونَ | |||
| So, overlook, O Lord, the offensive that we hold by means of the good that You hold | fatajawaz ya rabbi ‘an qabehi ma ‘indana bijameli ma ‘indak(a) | فَتَجَاوَزْ يَا رَبِّ عَنْ قَبِيحِ مَا عِنْدَنَا بِجَمِيلِ مَا عِنْدَكَ | |||
| There is not definitely any foolishness that can be uncovered by Your liberality | wa-ayyu jahlin ya rabbi la yasa’uhu juduk(a) | وَأَيُّ جَهْلٍ يَا رَبِّ لا يَسَعُهُ جُودُكَ | |||
| And there is no period that may be longer than Your tolerance | aw ayyu zamanin atwalu min anatik(a) | أَوْ أَيُّ زَمَانٍ أَطْوَلُ مِنْ أَنَاتِكَ | |||
| What value remains for our deeds if compared to Your favors! | wama qadaru a’malina fe janbi ni’amik(a) | وَمَا قَدْرُ أَعْمَالِنَا فِي جَنْبِ نِعَمِكَ؟ | |||
| And how can we ever deem much any deeds if compared to Your generosity! | wakayfa nastakthiru a’malan nuqabilu biha karamak(a) | وَكَيْفَ نَسْتَكْثِرُ أَعْمَالاً نُقَابِلُ بِهَا كَرَمَكَ؟ | |||
| Moreover, how may Your broad mercy be narrow for the guilty? | bal kayfa yadhequ ‘alal-mudhnibena ma wasi’ahum min rahmatik(a) | بَلْ كَيْفَ يَضِيقُ عَلَى الْمُذْنِبِينَ مَا وَسِعَهُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ؟ | |||
| O the Extensive Forgiver, | ya wasi’al-maghfira(ti) | يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ | |||
| O He Who extends both hands with mercy | ya basital-yadayni birrahma(ti) | يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ | |||
| By Your Majesty I swear, O my Lord, even if you chide me, I shall never leave Your Door and I shall never stop flattering You | fawa’izzatika ya sayyide law nahartane ma barihtu min babika wala kafaftu ‘an tamalluqik(a) | فَوَعِزَّتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي لَوْ نَهَرْتَنِي مَا بَرِحْتُ مِنْ بَابِكَ وَلا كَفَفْتُ عَنْ تَمَلُّقِكَ | |||
| This is because I have full acquaintance with Your (indescribable) generosity and bounty | limantaha ilayya minal-ma’rifati bijudika wakaramik(a) | لِمَا انْتَهَى إلَيَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ بِجُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ | |||
| And verily You do whatever You will | wa-antal-fa’ilu lima tasha-(u) | وَ أَنْتَ الْفَاعِلُ لِمَا تَشَاءُ | |||
| You punish whomsoever You want however You want by whatever means You want | tu’adhdhibu man tasha-u bima tasha-u kayfa tasha-(u) | تُعَذِّبُ مَنْ تَشَاءُ بِمَا تَشَاءُ كَيْفَ تَشَاءُ | |||

| None is supposed to interrogate You for whatever You do | la tus-alu ‘an fi'lik(a) | لا تُسْأَلُ عَنْ فِعْلِكَ | |||
| and non can ever contend with You about Your authority | wala tunaza’u fe mulkik(a) | وَلا تُنَازَعُ فِي مُلْكِكَ | |||
| And none can ever have a share in that which You hold | wala tusharaku fe amrik(a) | وَلا تُشَارَكُ فِي أَمْرِكَ | |||
| And none can ever object to Your decisions | wala tudha(a)ddu fe hukmik(a) | وَلا تُضَادُّ فِي حُكْمِكَ | |||
| And none can ever protest against that which You administer | wala ya’taridhu ‘alayka ahadun fe tadberik(a) | وَلا يَعْتَرِضُ عَلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ فِي تَدْبِيرِكَ | |||
| To You alone is creation and determination | lakal-khalqu wal-`amr(u) | لَكَ الْخَلْقُ وَالأَمْرُ | |||
| Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the worlds | tabarakal-llahu rabbul-‘alamen(a) | تَبَارَكَ اللّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ | |||
| O my Lord, this is the manner of him who seeks Your shelter, | yarabbi hadha maqamu man ladha bik(a) | يَا رَبِّ هذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ لاذَ بِكَ | |||
| And resorts to Your liberality | wastajara bikaramik(a) | وَاسْتَجَارَ بِكَرَمِكَ | |||
| And has been accustomed to be included with Your benevolence and graciousness | wa-alifa ihsanaka wani’amak(a) | وَأَلِفَ إحْسَانَكَ وَنِعَمَكَ | |||
| And You are certainly the All-munificent Whose amnesty never shrinks | wa-antal-jawadul-ladhe la yadhequ ‘afwuk(a) | وَأَنْتَ الْجَوَادُ الَّذِي لا يَضِيقُ عَفْوُكَ | |||
| And Whose favor never reduces | wayanqusu fadhluk(a) | وَلا يَنْقُصُ فَضْلُكَ | |||
| And Whose mercy never diminishes | wala taqillu rahmatuk | وَلا تَقِلُّ رَحْمَتُكَ | |||
| We have full confidence in You on account of Your eternal habit of pardons | waqad tawaththaqna minka bis-safhil-qadem(i) | وَقَدْ تَوَثَّقْنَا مِنْكَ بِالصَّفْحِ الْقَدِيمِ | |||
| And boundless kindness and limitless mercy | walfadhlil-‘a¨emi war-rahmatil-wasi’a(ti) | وَالْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ الْوَاسِعَةِ | |||
| Is it ever expectable, O Lord, that You may disappoint us or may act on the contrary of our expectations? | afaturaka ya rabbi tukhlifu ¨ununana aw tukhayyibu amalana | أَفَتُرَاكَ يَا رَبِّ تُخْلِفُ ظُنُونَنَا أَوْ تُخَيِّبُ آمَالَنَا؟ | |||
| No, never. O Compassionate! This is neither our idea about You nor our desire from You! | kalla ya karemu falaysa hadha ¨annuna bika wala hadha feka tama’una | كَلاَّ يَا كَرِيمُ فَلَيْسَ هذَا ظَنُّنَا بِكَ وَلا هذَا فِيكَ طَمَعُنَا | |||
| O my Lord: verily we have hope, big and large, in You | ya rabbi inna lana feka amalan tawelan kathera(n) | يَا رَبِّ إنَّ لَنَا فِيكَ أَمَلاً طَوِيلاً كَثِيراً | |||
| Verily we have great expectation in You | inna lana feka raja-an ‘a¨ema(n) | إنَّ لَنَا فِيكَ رَجَاءً عَظِيماً | |||
| Albeit that we have disobeyed You, we still hope that You will cover our faults | asaynaka wanahnu narju an tastira ‘alayna | عَصَيْنَاكَ وَنَحْنُ نَرْجُو أَنْ تَسْتُرَ عَلَيْنَا | |||
| And we have prayed You hoping that You will respond to us | wada'awnaka wanahnu narju an tastajeba lana | وَدَعَوْنَاكَ وَنَحْنُ نَرْجُو أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ لَنَا | |||
| So, give success to our hopes, O our Lord! | fahaqqiq raja-ana mawlana | فَحَقِّقْ رَجَاءَنَا مَوْلانَا | |||
| We now know for sure that which we deserve in exchange of our deeds | faqad ‘alimna ma tastawjibu bi-a’malina | فَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا نَسْتَوْجِبُ بِأَعْمَالِنَا | |||
| Yet, Your knowledge about us and our knowledge that You shall never let us down have urged us to desire for You | walakin ‘ilmuka fena wa’ilmuna bi-annaka la tasrifna ‘anka haththana ‘alar-raghbati ilayk(a) | وَلكِنْ عِلْمُكَ فِينَا وَعِلْمُنَا بِأَنَّكَ لا تَصْرِفُنَا عَنْكَ حَثَّنَا عَلَى الرَّغْبَةِ إلَيْكَ | |||
| Even if we do not deserve Your mercy | wa-in kunna ghayra mustawhishena lirahmatik(a) | وَإنْ كُنَّا غَيْرَ مُسْتَوْجِبِينَ لِرَحْمَتِكَ | |||
| However, You are the worthiest of conferring upon us and upon the guilty with the grace of Your broad benevolence | fa-anta ahlun an tajuda ‘alayna wa’alal-mudhnibena bifadhli sa’atik(a) | فَأَنْتَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَجُودَ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى الْمُذْنِبِينَ بِفَضْلِ سَعَتِكَ | |||
| So, confer upon us with that of which You are worYour | famnun ‘alayna bima anta ahluh(u) | فَامْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِمَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ | |||
| And act generously with us for we are in need from Your conferral | wajud ‘alayna fa-inna muhtajuna ila naylik(a) | وَجُدْ عَلَيْنَا فَإنَّا مُحْتَاجُونَ إلَى نَيْلِكَ | |||
| O Oft-Forgiving, in Your light have we found the right path | ya ghaffaru binurikah-tadayna | يَا غَفَّارُ بِنُورِكَ اهْتَدَيْنَا | |||
| And due to Your favor have we dispensed with the others | wabifadhlikas-taghnayna | وَبِفَضْلِكَ اسْتَغْنَيْنَا | |||
| And Your grace have we experienced in morns and eves | wabini’matika asbahna wa-amsayna | وَبِنِعْمَتِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَمْسَيْنَا | |||
| Our sins are before You | dhunubuna bayna yadayk(a) | ذُنُوبُنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ | |||
| We beseech You, O Allah, to forgive them and we repent before You | nastaghfirukal-llahumma minha wanatubu ilayk(a) | نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ اللّهُمَّ مِنْهَا وَنَتُوبُ إلَيْكَ | |||
| Whilst You show affection to us through Your graces, we take ourselves away from You through our sins | tatahabbabu ilayna binni’ami wanu’aridhuka bidh-dhunub(i) | تَتَحَبَّبُ إلَيْنَا بِالنِّعَمِ وَنُعَارِضُكَ بِالذُّنُوبِ | |||
| You good descend upon us | khayruka nazilun ilayna | خَيْرُكَ إلَيْنَا نَازِلٌ | |||
| While our evildoing ascends to You | washarruna ilayka sa’id(un) | وَشَرُّنَا إلَيْكَ صَاعِدٌ | |||
| Albeit a noble angel always carries to You our offensive deeds, this has never made you stop encompassing us with Your graces | walam yazal wala yazalu malakun karemun ya-teka ‘anna bi’amalin qabehin fala yamna’unka dhalika min an tahutana bini’amik(a) | وَلَمْ يَزَلْ وَلا يَزَالُ مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ يَأْتِيكَ عَنَّا بِعَمَلٍ قَبِيحٍ فَلا يَمْنَعُكَ ذلِكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَحُوطَنَا بِنِعَمِكَ | |||
| And conferring upon us your elegances | watatafadhdhalu ‘alyna bi-ala-ik(a) | وتَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بِآلائِكَ | |||
| Glory be to You! How Forbearing, Magnificent, and Generous You are at all times! | fasubhanaka ma ahlamaka wa-a’¨amaka wa-akramaka mubdi-an wamu’eda(n) | فَسُبْحَانَكَ مَا أَحْلَمَكَ وَأَعْظَمَكَ وَأَكْرَمَكَ مُبْدِئاً وَمُعِيداً! | |||
| Sacred be Your Names | taqaddasat asma-uk(a) | تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ | |||
| Grand be Your praise | wajalla thana-uk(a) | وَجَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ | |||
| Munificent be Your deeds and acts | wakaruma sana-i’uka wafi'aluk(a) | وَكَرُمَ صَنَائِعُكَ وَفِعَالُكَ | |||
| You, O my God, are too expansive in graciousness and too great in forbearance to punish me for my evildoings and sins | anta ilahe awsa’u fadhlan wa-a’¨amu hilman min an tuqayisane bifi’le wakhate-ate | أَنْتَ إلهِي أَوْسَعُ فَضْلاً وَأَعْظَمُ حِلْماً مِنْ أَنْ تُقَايِسَنِي بِفِعْلِي وَخَطِيئَتِي | |||

| Verily You are nigh and ready to answer | innaka qarebun mujeb(un) | إنَّكَ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ | |||
| And bless us with acting upon the obedience to You | warzuqna ‘amalan bita’atik(a) | وَارْزُقْنَا عَمَلاً بِطَاعَتِكَ | |||
| And receive us following the rule of You and Your Prophet | wataffana ‘ala millatika wasunnati nabiyyik(a) | وَتَوَفَّنَا عَلَى مِلَّتِكَ وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ | |||
| Blessings of Allah be on him and on his Family | sallal-llahu ‘alayhi wa’ala-alih(e) | صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ | |||
| O Allah: forgive me and my parents, and have mercy on them as they did care for me when I was little | allahummaghfir le waliwalidayya warhamhuma kama rabbayane saghera(n) | اللّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيراً | |||

| Liars are those who ascribe rivals to Allah | kadhabal-‘adiluna billah(i) | كَذَبَ الْعَادِلُونَ بِاللّهِ | |||
| And they have wandered far astray | wadhallu dhalalan ba’eda(n) | وَضَلّوَا ضَلالاً بَعِيداً | |||
| And they will have suffered a manifest loss | wakhasiru khusranan mubena(n) | وَخَسِرُوَا خُسْرَاناً مُبِيناً | |||
| O Allah: send blessings on Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad | allahumma salli ‘ala muhammadin wa-ali muhammad(in) | اللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ | |||
| And seal my life with decency | wakhtim le bikhayr(in) | وَاخْتِمْ لِي بِخَيْرٍ | |||

| And inspire me with goodness and good-doing | wa-alhimnil-khayra wal-‘amala bih(e) | وَأَلْهِمْنِي الْخَيْرَ وَالْعَمَلَ بِهِ | |||
| And with fearing You all over day and night so long as You keep me alive | wakhashyataka billayli wannahari ma abqaytane | وَخَشْيَتَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي | |||
| O the Lord of the worlds | ya rabbal-‘alamen(a) | يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ. | |||
| O Allah: each time I decide to prepare myself for offering prayers before You and converse confidentially with You, | allahumma inne kullama qultu qad tahayya-`tu wata’abba-`tu waqumtu lis-salati bayna yadayka wanajaytuk(a) | اللّهُمَّ إنِّي كُلَّمَا قُلْتُ قَدْ تَهَيَّأْتُ وَتَعَبَّأْتُ وَقُمْتُ لِلصَّلاةِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَنَاجَيْتُكَ | |||
| You throw on me slumber whenever I stand for prayer | alqayta ‘alayya nu’asan idha ana sallayt(u) | أَلْقَيْتَ عَلَيَّ نُعَاساً إذَا أَنَا صَلَّيْتُ | |||
| And thus You deprive me of conversing with You confidentially whenever I try so | wasalabtane munajataka idha ana najayt(u) | وَسَلَبْتَنِي مُنَاجَاتَكَ إذَا أَنَا نَاجَيْتُ | |||
| What is the wrong with me? Whenever I feel that my inner self has become decent | male kullama qultu qad saluhat sarerate | مَالِي كُلَّمَا قُلْتُ قَدْ صَلُحَتْ سَرِيرَتِي | |||
| And that my session has become similar to that of those who turn much to You, | waqaruba min majalisit-tawwabena majlise | وَقَرُبَ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ التَّوَّابِينَ مَجْلِسِي | |||
| A misfortune would inflict me causing my feet to be shaken and standing against my showing servitude to You | aradhat le baliyyatun azalat qadame wahalat bayne wabayna khidmatik(a) | عَرَضَتْ لِي بَلِيَّةٌ أَزَالَتْ قَدَمِي وَحَالَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خِدْمَتِكَ؟ | |||
| O my Master, perhaps You have pushed me away from Your door! | sayyide la’allaka ‘an babika taradtane | سَيِّدِي لَعَلَّكَ عَنْ بَابِكَ طَرَدْتَنِي | |||
| And You have dismissed me from Your service! | wa’an khidmatika nahhaytane | وَعَنْ خِدْمَتِكَ نَحَّيْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have noticed that I belittled the duties that You have made incumbent upon me, and You thus set me aside! | aw la’allaka ra-aytane mustakhiffan bihaqqika fa-aqsaytane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي مُسْتَخِفّاً بِحَقِّكَ فَأَقْصَيْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have seen me turning away from You and thus You have turned away from me | aw la’allaka ra-aytane mu’ridhan ‘anka faqalaytane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي مُعْرِضاً عَنْكَ فَقَلَيْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have found me in the manner of the liars and thus You have rejected me | aw la’allaka wajadtane fe maqamil-kadhibena farafadhtane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَنِي فِي مَقَامِ الْكَاذِبِينَ فَرَفَضْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have observed me showing no gratitude for Your graces and thus You have deprived me of them | aw la’allaka ra-aytane ghayra shakirin lina’ma-ika faharamtane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي غَيْرَ شَاكِرٍ لِنَعْمَائِكَ فَحَرَمْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have not found me in the sessions of the scholars and thus You have let me down | aw la’allaka faqadtane min majalisil-‘ulama-i fakhadhaltane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ فَقَدْتَنِي مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الْعُلَمَاءِ فَخَذَلْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have seen me among the inattentive ones and thus You have made me despair of Your mercy | aw la’allaka ra-aytane fil-ghafilena famin rahmatika ayastane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي فِي الْغَافِلِينَ فَمِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ آيَسْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have found me fond of the sessions of the wrongdoers and thus You have referred me to them | aw la’allaka ra-aytane alafu majalisal-battalena fabayne wabaynahum khallaytane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي آلِفَ مَجَالِسِ الْبَطَّالِينَ فَبَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ خَلَّيْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have not willed to hear my prayers and thus You have kept me away from You | aw la’allaka lam tuhibba an tasma’a du’a-e faba’adtane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ لَمْ تُحِبَّ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ دُعَائِي فَبَاعَدْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have punished me for my offenses and sins | aw la’allaka bijurme wajarerate kafaytane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ بِجُرْمِي وَجَرِيرَتِي كَافَيْتَنِي | |||
| Or, perhaps, You have penalized me for my shamelessness | aw la’allaka biqillati haya-e minka jazaytane | أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ بِقِلَّةِ حَيَائِي مِنْكَ جَازَيْتَنِي | |||
| If You forgive me, O Lord, then You have occasionally forgiven the sinners like me | fa-in ‘afawta ya rabbi fatalama ‘afawta ‘anil-mudhnibena qable | فَإنْ عَفَوْتَ يَا رَبِّ فَطَالَمَا عَفَوْتَ عَنِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ قَبْلِي | |||
| Because Your compassion, O my Lord, is too great to be compared to the punishment of the negligent | li-anna karamaka ay rabbi yajillu ‘an mukafatil-muqassiren(a) | لأنَّ كَرَمَكَ أَيْ رَبِّ يَجِلُّ عَنْ مُكَافَاةِ الْمُقَصِّرِينَ | |||
| And I am now seeking refuge with Your generosity and fleeing for You to You | wa ana ‘a-idhun bifadhlika haribun minka ilayk(a) | وَأَنَا عَائِذٌ بِفَضْلِكَ هَارِبٌ مِنْكَ إلَيْكَ | |||
| Hoping for the promise that You have taken as regard pardoning those who have good idea about You | mutanajjizun ma wa’adta minas-safhi ‘amman ahsana bika ¨anna(n) | مُتَنَجِّزٌ مَا وَعَدْتَ مِنَ الصَّفْحِ عَمَّنْ أَحْسَنَ بِكَ ظَنّاً. | |||
| O my God: You are too expansive in favor | ilahe anta awsa’u fadhla(n) | إلهِي أَنْتَ أَوْسَعُ فَضْلاً | |||
| And too great in forbearance to punish me for my deed | wa-a’¨amu hilman min an tuqayisane bi’amale | وَأَعْظَمُ حِلْماً مِنْ أَنْ تُقَايِسَنِي بِعَمَلِي | |||
| Or to chastise me for my sin | aw an tastazillane bikhate-ate | أَوْ أَنْ تَسْتَزِلَّنِي بِخَطِيئَتِي | |||
| What am I? O Master! And what is my weight? | wama ana ya sayyide wama khatare | وَمَا أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي وَمَا خَطَرِي؟ | |||
| Excuse me out of Your favor, O my Master | habne bifadhlika sayyide | هَبْنِي بِفَضْلِكَ سَيِّدِي | |||
| And act to me charitably our of Your pardon | watasaddaq ‘alayya bi’afwik(a) | وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ | |||
| And cover me with Your covering | wajallilne bisitrik(a) | وَجَلِّلْنِي بِسِتْرِكَ | |||
| And let off chiding me out of the liberality of Your Face | wa’fu ‘an tawbekhe bikarami wajhik(a) | وَاعْفُ عَنْ تَوْبِيخِي بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ | |||
| O my Master! I am the little that You have brought up | sayyide anas-sagherul-ladhe rabbaytah(u) | سَيِّدِي أَنَا الصَّغِيرُ الَّذِي رَبَّيْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the ignorant that You have taught | wa-anal-jahilul-ladhe ‘allamtah(u) | وَأَنَا الْجَاهِلُ الَّذِي عَلَّمْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the straying that You have guided | wa-anadh-dha(a)llul-ladhe hadaytah(u) | وَأَنَا الضَّالُّ الَّذِي هَدَيْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the humble that You have given rise | wa-anal-wadhe’ul-ladhe rafa’tah(u) | وَأَنَا الْوَضِيعُ الَّذِي رَفَعْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the afraid that You have given security | wa-anal-kha-iful-ladhe amantah(u) | وَأَنَا الْخَائِفُ الَّذِي آمَنْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the hungry that You have satiated | wal-ja-i’ul-ladhe ashba’tah(u) | وَالْجَائِعُ الَّذِي أَشْبَعْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the thirsty that You have watered | wal-‘atshanul-ladhe arwaytah(u) | وَالْعَطْشَانُ الَّذِي أَرْوَيْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the naked that You have dressed | wal-‘aril-ladhe kasawtah(u) | وَالْعَارِي الَّذِي كَسَوْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the poor that You have given affluence | walfaqerul-ladhe aghnaytah(u) | وَالْفَقِيرُ الَّذِي أَغْنَيْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the weak that You have strengthened | wadh-dha’eful-ladhe qawwaytah(u) | وَالضَّعِيفُ الَّذِي قَوَّيْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the lowly that You have given mighty | wadh-dhalelul-ledhe a’zaztah(u) | وَالذَّلِيلُ الَّذِي أَعْزَزْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the ill that You have cured | was-saqemul-ladhe shafaytah(u) | وَالسَّقِيمُ الَّذِي شَفَيْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the beggar that You have donated | was-sa-ilul-ladhe a’taytah(u) | وَالسَّائِلُ الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the sinner that You have covered | walmudhnibul-ladhe satartah(u) | وَالْمُذْنِبُ الَّذِي سَتَرْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the guilty that You have excused | wal-khati-ul-ladhe aqaltah(u) | وَالْخَاطِئُ الَّذِي أَقَلْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the valueless that You have evaluated | wa-anal-qalelul-ladhe kaththartah(u) | وَأَنَا الْقَلِيلُ الَّذِي كَثَّرْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the helpless that You have backed | wal-mustadh-‘aful-ladhe nasartah(u) | وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفُ الَّذِي نَصَرْتَهُ | |||
| And I am the expelled that You have boarded | wa-anat-taredul-ladhe awaytah(u) | وَأَنَا الطَّرِيدُ الَّذِي آوَيْتَهُ | |||
| I am, O my Lord, the one who has not felt ashamed of You in secrets | ana ya rabbil-ladhe lam astahyika fil-khala-(i) | أَنَا يَا رَبِّ الَّذِي لَمْ أَسْتَحْيِكَ فِي الْخَلاءِ | |||
| And the one who has not considered Your watching over him in the public | walam uraqibka fil-mala-(i) | وَلَمْ أُرَاقِبْكَ فِي الْمَلاءِ | |||
| I am the committer of the grave transgressions | ana sahibud-dawahil-‘u¨ma | أَنَا صَاحِبُ الدَّوَاهِي الْعُظْمَى | |||
| I am the one who challenged his Master | anal-ladhe ‘ala sayyidihijtara(`a) | أَنَا الَّذِي عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ اجْتَرأَ | |||
| I am the one who disobeyed the All-great of the heavens | anal-ladhe ‘asaytu jabbaras-sama(`a) | أَنَا الَّذِي عَصَيْتُ جَبَّارَ السَّمَاءِ | |||
| I am the one who have given bribes violating the laws of the All-lofty One | anal-ladhe a’taytu ‘ala ma’asil-jalelir-risha | أَنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُ عَلَى مَعَاصِي الْجَلِيلِ الرِّشَى | |||
| I am the one who has been delighted for committing such sins | anal-ladhe hena bushshirtu biha kharajtu ilayha asa | أَنَا الَّذِي حِينَ بُشِّرْتُ بِهَا خَرَجْتُ إلَيْهَا أَسْعَى | |||
| I am the one who, although You have respited, has not cared | anal-ladhe amhaltane famar-‘awayt(u) | أَنَا الَّذِي أَمْهَلْتَنِي فَمَا ارْعَوَيْتُ | |||
| I am the one whom, Although You have covered him, has not felt ashamed | wasatarta ‘alayya famas-tahyayt(u) | وَسَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ فَمَا اسْتَحْيَيْتُ | |||
| And who committed so many acts of disobedience that he has violated (all terms) | wa’amiltu bil-ma’ase fata’addaytu | وَعَمِلْتُ بِالْمَعَاصِي فَتَعَدَّيْتُ | |||
| And who, although You have disregarded, has not minded | wa-asqattane min ‘aynika fama balayt(u) | وَأَسْقَطْتَنِي مِنْ عَيْنِكَ فَمَا بَالَيْتُ | |||
| So, out of Your forbearance have You given me respite | fabihilmika amhaltane | فَبِحِلْمِكَ أَمْهَلْتَنِي | |||
| And You have concealed (my faults) with Your untouchable concealment as if You have been unaware with my acts | wabisitrika satartane hatta ka-annaka aghfaltane | وَبِسِتْرِكَ سَتَرْتَنِي حَتَّى كَأَنَّكَ أَغْفَلْتَنِي | |||
| And You have not applied to me the punishments of committing acts of disobedience (to You) as if You are ashamed to face me | wamin ‘uqubatil-ma’ase jannabtane hatta ka-annakas-tahyaytane | وَمِنْ عُقُوبَاتِ الْمَعَاصِي جَنَّبْتَنِي حَتَّى كَأَنَّكَ اسْتَحْيَيْتَنِي. | |||
| O my God: As I disobeyed You, I have never denied Your Lordship | ilahe lam a’sika hena ‘asaytuka wa-ana birububiyyatika jahid(un) | إلهِي لَمْ أَعْصِكَ حِينَ عَصَيْتُكَ وَأَنَا بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ جَاحِدٌ | |||
| And I have never belittled Your ordains | wala bi-amrika mustakhiff(un) | وَلا بِأَمْرِكَ مُسْتَخِفٌّ | |||
| And I have never wished for exposing myself to Your chastisement | wala li-‘uqubatika muta’arridh(un) | وَلا لِعُقُوبَتِكَ مُتَعَرِّضٌ | |||
| And I have never disparaged Your threat | wala liwa’edika mutahawin(un) | وَلا لِوَعِيدِكَ مُتَهَاوِنٌ | |||
| Nevertheless, sins showed themselves desirable before me and my self commended to me | lakin khate-atun ‘aradhat wasawwalat le nafse | لَكِنْ خَطِيئَةٌ عَرَضَتْ وَسَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي | |||
| And my whim overwhelmed me | waghalabane haway(a) | وَغَلَبَنِي هَوَايَ | |||
| And my impudence helped me accordingly | wa-a’anane ‘alayha shiqwate | وَأَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهَا شِقْوَتِي | |||
| And I have been deceived my Your covering that You have laid on me | wagharrane sitrukal-murkha ‘alayy(a) | وَغَرَّنِي سِتْرُكَ الْمُرْخَى عَلَيَّ | |||
| So, I have exerted efforts in violating Your orders and disobeying You | faqad ‘asaytuka wakhalaftuka bijuhde | فَقَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ وَخَالَفْتُكَ بِجُهْدِي | |||
| Now, who can ever save me from Your chastisement? | fal-ana min ‘adhabika man yastanqidhune | فَالآنَ مِنْ عَذَابِكَ مَنْ يَسْتَنْقِذُنِي | |||
| And, tomorrow, who can save me from the hands of my rivals? | wamin aydil-khusama-i ghadan man yukhallisune | وَمِنْ أَيْدِي الْخُصَمَاءِ غَداً مَنْ يُخَلِّصُنِي | |||
| And whose rope will I catch if You cut off the rope between You and me? | wabihabli man attasilu in anta qata’ta hablaka ‘anne | وَبِحَبْلِ مَنْ أَتَّصِلُ إنْ أَنْتَ قَطَعْتَ حَبْلَكَ عَنِّي؟ | |||
| Shame on me for my evildoings that Your Book has recorded | fawa saw-ata ‘ala ma ahsa kitabuka min ‘amaliyal-ladhe | فَوَاسَوْأَتَا عَلَى مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُكَ مِنْ عَمَلِي الَّذِي | |||
| Had it not been for Your generosity, the breadth of Your mercy, and Your warning me against being desperate—the matters that I hopefully depend on, I would have despaired whenever I remember my sins | lawla ma arju min karamika wasa’ati rahmatika wanahyika iyyaya ‘anil-qunuti laqanattu ‘indama atadhakkaruha | لَوْلا مَا أَرْجُو مِنْ كَرَمِكَ وَسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَنَهْيِكَ إيَّايَ عَنِ الْقُنُوطِ لَقَنَطْتُ عِنْدَمَا أَتَذَكَّرُهَا | |||
| O the Greatest Besought One that has been ever besought | ya khayra man da’ahu da(‘in) | يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ دَعَاهُ دَاعٍ | |||
| And the Most Favorable Hoped One | wa-afdhala man rajahu raj(in) | وَأَفْضَلَ مَنْ رَجَاهُ رَاجٍ | |||
