اَللّٰهُمَّ یٰا كَافِیَ الْفَرْدِ الضَّعِيفِ، وَوَاقِيَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَخُوفِ، أَفْرَدَتْنِي الْخَطَايَا فَلاٰ صَاحِبَ مَعيٖ، وَضَعُفْتُ عَنْ غَضَبِكَ فَلاٰ مُؤَيِّدَ لیٖ، وَأَشْـرَفْتُ عَلیٰ خَوْفِ لِقَائِكَ فَلاٰ مُسَكِّنَ لِرَوْعَتِي، وَمَنْ يُؤْمِنُنِي مِنْكَ وَأَنْتَ أَخَفْتَنِي؟ وَمَنْ يُسَاعِدُنِی وَأَنْتَ أَفْرَدْتَنِي؟ وَمَنْ يُقَوِّينِي وَأَنْتَ أَضْعَفْتَنِي؟
O Allah, O Sufficer of the weak and solitary one, O Protector against the fearful affair! Sins have left me solitary, so I have no companion (that can relieve me of the burden and punishment of my mistakes). I am too weak to bear Your wrath, and I have no supporter. I have come close to the fear of meeting You, and I have no one to calm me in my terror. Who will grant me security from You when You have made me fearful? Who will help me when You have left me alone? Who can strengthen me when You have weakened me?
لاٰيُجِیرُ یٰا إِلٰهيٖ إلّٰا رَبٌّ عَلیٰ مَرْبُوبٍ، وَلاٰ يُؤْمِنُ إلّٰا غَالِبٌ عَلیٰ مَغْلُوبٍ، وَلاٰ يُعِینُ إلّٰا طَالِبٌ عَلیٰ مَطْلُوبٍ، وَبِيَدِكَ یٰا إِلٰهيٖ جَمِيعُ ذٰلِكَ السَّبَبِ، وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَفَرُّ وَالْمَهْرَبُ، فَصَلِّ عَلیٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ، وَأَجِرْ هَرَبِی وَأَنْجِحْ مَطْلَبِي
O my God, none grants refuge to His servant except a Lord; none gives safety to the defeated except a victor, and none helps the sought-after except a seeker. O my God, all these means are in Your hand, and to You is the escape and the refuge. So bless Muhammad and his family, and grant me refuge in my escape to You, and fulfill my request!
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ إِنْ صَـرَفْتَ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ الْكَرِيمَ، أَوْ مَنَعْتَنِي فَضْلَكَ الْجَسِيمَ، أَوْ حَظَرْتَ عَلَیَّ رِزْقَكَ، أَوْ قَطَعْتَ عَنِّي سَبَبَكَ لَمْ أَجِدِ السَّبِيلَ إلیٰ شَیْءٍ مِنْ أَمَلِی غَیْرَكَ، وَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلیٰ مٰا عِنْدَكَ بِـمَعُونَةِ سِوَاكَ، فَاِنِّی عَبْدُكَ وَفیٖ قَبْضَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، لاٰ أَمْرَ لیٖ مَعَ أَمْرِكَ، مَاضٍ فِیَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِیَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، وَلاٰ قُوَّةَ لیٖ عَلَی الْخُرُوجِ مِنْ سُلْطَانِكَ، وَلاٰ أَسْتَطِيعُ مُجَاوَزَةَ قُدْرَتِكَ، وَلاٰ أَسْتَمِيلُ هَوَاكَ، وَلاٰ أَبْلُغُ رِضَاكَ، وَلاٰ أَنَالُ مٰا عِنْدَكَ إلّٰا بِطَاعَتِكَ وَبِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ
O Allah, if You turn Your generous face away from me, withhold Your immense favor from me, forbid me Your provision, or cut off Your connection to me, I will find no way to anything I hope for except through You. I will have no power to reach what is with You except through Your help. I am Your servant, in Your grasp; my choices are in Your hand. I have no command alongside Your command. Your judgment prevails in all aspects of my life, and Your decree and destiny concerning me are pure justice; I have no power to depart from Your authority, nor can I transgress Your power. I am unable to gain Your friendship, nor attain Your good pleasure, nor reach what is with You except through obeying You and by the bounty of Your mercy.
إِلٰهيٖ أَصْبَحْتُ وَأَمْسَيْتُ عَبْداً دَاخِراً لَكَ، لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعاً وَلَا ضَرّاً إِلَّا بِكَ، أَشْهَدُ بِذٰلِكَ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِي، وَأَعْتَرِفُ بِضَعْفِ قُوَّتِي، وَقِلَّةِ حِيلَتِي، فَأَنْجِزْ لِي مَا وَعَدْتَنِي، وَتَمِّمْ لِي مَا آتَيْتَنِي، فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُسْتَكِينُ الضَّعِيفُ الضَّرِيرُ، الذَّلِيلُ الْحَقِيرُ، الْمَهِينُ الْفَقِيرُ، الْخَائِفُ الْمُسْتَجِيرُ
My God, I begin and end my day as a lowly servant before You. I possess no power to benefit or harm myself except through You. I bear witness to this truth about myself and acknowledge my weakness and limited abilities. So fulfill what You have promised me, and complete what You have given me, for I am Your miserable, abased, weak, distressed, lowly, humble, abject, poor, fearful, and shelter-seeking servant.
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي نَاسِياً لِذِكْرِكَ فِيمَا أَوْلَيْتَنِي، وَلَا غَافِلاً لِإِحْسَانِكَ فِيمَا أَبْلَيْتَنِي، وَلَا آيِساً مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ لِي وَإِنْ أَبْطَأَتْ عَنِّي، فِي سَرَّاءَ كُنْتُ أَوْ ضَرَّاءَ، أَوْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ، أَوْ عَافِيَةٍ أَوْ بَلَاءٍ، أَوْ بُؤْسٍ أَوْ نَعْمَاءَ، أَوْ جِدَةٍ أَوْ لَأْوَاءَ أَوْ فَقْرٍ أَوْ غِنًى
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family. Do not make me forgetful of Your remembrance in what You have bestowed upon me, and by Your grace, nor heedless of Your kindness in what You have tried me with, nor despairing of Your response, even if it is delayed, whether I am in ease or hardship, comfort or difficulty, health or affliction, misery or blessing, wealth or poverty.
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلیٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ، وَاجْعَلْ ثَنَائِی عَلَيْكَ، وَمَدْحِي إِيّٰاكَ وَحَمْدِي لَكَ فیٖ كُلِّ حَالَاتِی، حَتّٰى لاٰ أَفْرَحَ بِـمٰا آتَيْتَنِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَلاٰ أَحْزَنَ عَلیٰ مٰا مَنَعْتَنِي فِيهٰا، وَأَشْعِرْ قَلْبِي تَقْوَاكَ، وَاسْتَعْمِلْ بَدَنِی فِيمٰا تَقْبَلُهُ مِنِّي، وَاشْغَلْ بِطَاعَتِكَ نَفْسِی عَنْ كُلِّ مٰا يَرِدُ عَلَیَّ، حَتّٰى لاٰ اُحِبَّ شَيْئاً مِنْ سُخْطِكَ، وَلاٰ أَسْخَطَ شَيْئاً مِنْ رِضَاكَ
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and his family. Make my praise of You, my commendation of You, and my gratitude to You in all my circumstances, such that I do not rejoice in what You have given me of this world, nor do I grieve over what You have withheld from me in it. Fill my heart with Your love and fear, and use my body in that which You accept from me. Occupy my soul with Your obedience, keeping it away from all that may come to me, so that I do not love anything that brings about Your displeasure, nor do I detest anything that leads to Your pleasure.
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلیٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ، وَفَرِّغْ قَلْبِي لِمَحَبَّتِكَ، وَاشْغَلْهُ بِذِكْرِكَ، وَانْعَشْهُ بِخَوْفِكَ، وَبِالْوَجَلِ مِنْكَ، وَقَوِّەِ بِالرَّغْبَةِ إِلَيْكَ، وَأَمِلْهُ إلیٰ طَاعَتِكَ، وَأَجْرِ بِهِ فیٖ أَحَبِّ السُّبُلِ إِلَيْكَ، وَذَلِّلْهُ بِالرَّغْبَةِ فِيمٰا عِنْدَكَ أَيَّامَ حَيَاتِی كُلَّهَا
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family. Empty my heart for Your love, occupy it with Your remembrance, revive it with fear of You and awe before You, strengthen it with yearning for You, incline it toward Your obedience, direct it along the paths most beloved to You, and make it humble in desire for what is with You all the days of my life.
وَاجْعَلْ تَقْوَاكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا زَادِي، وَإِلَىٰ رَحْمَتِكَ رِحْلَتِي، وَفِي مَرْضَاتِكَ مَدْخَلِي، وَاجْعَلْ فِي جَنَّتِكَ مَثْوَايَ، وَهَبْ لِي قُوَّةً أَحْتَمِلُ بِهَا جَمِيعَ مَرْضَاتِكَ، وَاجْعَلْ فِرَارِي إِلَيْكَ، وَرَغْبَتِي فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ، وَأَلْبِسْ قَلْبِي الْوَحْشَةَ مِنْ شِرَارِ خَلْقِكَ، وَهَبْ لِيَ الْأُنْسَ بِكَ وَبِأَوْلِيَائِكَ وَأَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ
Make my God-consciousness in this world my provision, my journey toward Your mercy, my entrance into Your good pleasure, and my dwelling in Your Heaven. Grant me the strength to bear all that pleases You. Let my refuge be in You, and my desire for what is with You. Cloak my heart with the fear of Your wicked servants, and grant me intimacy with You, Your friends, and those who obey You.
وَلَا تَجْعَلْ لِفَاجِرٍ وَلَا كَافِرٍ عَلَيَّ مِنَّةً، وَلَا لَهُ عِنْدِي يَداً وَلَا بِي إِلَيْهِمْ حَاجَةً، بَلِ اجْعَلْ سُكُونَ قَلْبِي وَأُنْسَ نَفْسِي وَاسْتِغْنَائِي وَكِفَايَتِي بِكَ وَبِخِيَارِ خَلْقِكَ
Place no favor of any wicked person or unbeliever over me; let them have no handhold over me, and let me have no need of them. Rather, let the serenity of my heart, the comfort of my soul, my independence, and my sufficiency rest solely in You and in the chosen of Your creation.
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ، وَاجْعَلْنِي لَهُمْ قَرِيناً وَاجْعَلْنِي لَهُمْ نَصِيراً، وَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِشَوْقٍ إِلَيْكَ وَبِالْعَمَلِ لَكَ بِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَىٰ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، وَذَٰلِكَ عَلَيْكَ يَسِيرٌ
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family. Make me their companion and make me their helper. Bestow upon me yearning for You and acting for You in what You love and approve of. Verily, You have power over all things, and all this is easy for You.
