Monday Dua (Imam Zain ul Abideen a.s.)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
bismillahi alrrahmani alrrahimi
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُشْهِدْ أَحَداً
alhamdu lillahi alladhi lam yushhid ahadan
Praise be to Allah Who allowed none to witness
حِيـنَ فَطَرَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلأَرْضَ
hina fatara assamawati wal-arda
when He created the heavens and the earth,
وَلاَ ٱتَّخَذَ مُعِيناً حِيـنَ بَرَأَ ٱلنَّسَمَاتِ
wa lattakhadha mu`inan hina bara`a annasamati
and Who took no helper when He authored the spirits!
لَمْ يُشَارَكْ فِي ٱلإِلٰهِيَّةِ
lam yusharak fil-ilahiyyati
He has no associate in Divinity
وَلَمْ يُظاهَرْ فِي ٱلْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ
wa lam yuzahar filwahdaniyyati
and no support in Unity.
كَلَّتِ ٱلأَلْسُنُ عَنْ غَايَةِ صِفَتِهِ
kallat al-alsunu `an ghayati sifatihi
Tongues fall silent before the limit of describing Him,
وَٱنْحَسَرَتِ ٱلْعُقُولُ عَنْ كُنْهِ مَعْرِفَتِهِ
wanhasarat al`uqulu `an kunhi ma`rifatihi
intellects fail before the core of knowing Him,
وَتَوَاضَعَتِ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ لِهَيْبَتِهِ
wa tawada`at aljababiratu lihaybatihi
tyrants fall low in awe of Him,
وَعَنَتِ ٱلْوُجُوهُ لِخَشْيَتِهِ
wa `anat alwujuhu likhashyatihi
faces are humbled in fear of Him,
وَٱنْقَادَ كُلُّ عَظِيمٍ لِعَظَمَتِهِ
wanqada kullu `azimin li`azamatihi
and everything mighty yields to His mightiness!
فَلَكَ ٱلْحَمْدُ مُتَوَاتِراً مُتَّسِقاً
falaka alhamdu mutawatiran muttasiqan
So, to You belongs praise, again and again, well-measured,
وَمُتَوَالِياً مُسْتَوْسِقاً
wa mutawaliyan mustawsiqan
continually, methodically!
وَصَلَوَاتُهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ أَبَداً
wa salawatuhu `ala rasulihi abadan
And may His blessings be upon His Messenger endlessly,
وَسَلامُهُ دَائِماً سَرْمَداً
wa salamuhu da'iman sarmadan
and His salutation (be upon him) everlastingly, eternally!
اَللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ يَوْمِي هٰذَا صَلاَحاً
allahumma ij`al awwala yawmi hadha salahan
O Allah, (please) make the beginning of this day of mine righteousness,
وَ أَوْسَطَهُ فَلاَحاً
wa awsatahu falahan
its middle prosperity,
وَآخِرَهُ نَجَاحاً
wa akhirahu najahan
and its end success!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ اَوَّلُهُ فَزَعٌ
wa a`udhu bika min yawmin awwaluhu faza`un
I seek refuge in You from a day whose beginning is fright,
وَ أَوْسَطُهُ جَزَعٌ
wa awsatuhu jaza`un
whose middle is anxiety,
وَآخِرُهُ وَجَعٌ
wa akhiruhu waja`un
and whose end is pain!
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ نَذْرٍ نَذَرْتُهُ
allahumma inni astaghfiruka likulli nadhrin nadhartuhu
O Allah, I pray forgiveness from You for every vow I have vowed,
وَلِكُلِّ وَعْدٍ وَعَدْتُهُ
wa likulli wa`din wa`adtuhu
every promise I have made,
وَلِكُلِّ عَهْدٍ عَاهَدْتُهُ
wa likulli `ahdin `ahadtuhu
and every pledge I have pledged
ثُمَّ لَمْ أَفِ لَكَ بِهِ
thumma lam afi laka bihi
and then I failed to keep for You.
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ فِي مَظَالِمِ عِبَادِكَ عِنْدِي
wa as'aluka fi mazalimi `ibadika `indi
I ask You concerning the complaints of Your servants against me:
فَأَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ
fa ayyuma `abdin min `abidika
If there is a servant from among Your servants
أَوْ أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَائِكَ
aw amatin min ima'ika
or a bondmaid from among Your bondmaids,
كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلِي مَظْلَمَةٌ ظَلَمْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ
kanat lahu qibali mazlamatun zalamtuha iyyahu
who has against me a complaint
فِي نَفْسِهِ أَوْ فِي عِرْضِهِ
fi nafsihi aw fi `irdihi
because I have wronged him in respect to himself, his reputation,
أَوْ فِي مَالِهِ أَوْ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ
aw fi malihi aw fi ahlihi wa waladihi
his property, his wife or his child,
أَوْ غِيبَةٌ ﭐغْتَبْتُهُ بِهَا
aw ghibatin ightabtuhu biha
or because evil words I have spoken about him in his absence,
أَوْ تَحَامُلٌ عَلَيهِ بِمَيْلٍ أَوْ هَوًىٰ
aw tahamulun `alayhi bimaylin aw hawan
an imposition upon him through inclination, caprice,
أَوْ أَنَفَةٍ أَوْ حَمِيَّةٍ
aw anafatin aw hamiyyatin
scorn, zeal,
أَوْ رِيَاءٍ أَوْ عَصَبِيَّةٍ
aw riya'in aw `asabiyyatin
false show, bigotry,
غَائِباً كَانَ أَوْ شَاهِداً
gha'iban kana aw shahidan
whether he be absent or present,
وَحَيّاً كَانَ أَوْ مَيِّتاً
wa hayyan kana aw mayyitan
alive or dead,
فَقَصُرَتْ يَدِي
faqasurat yadi
such that my hand has fallen short
وَضَاقَ وُسْعِي عَنْ رَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ
wa daqa wus`i `an raddiha ilayhi
and my capacity has been too narrow to make restitution to him
وَٱلتَّحَلُّلِ مِنْهُ
wattahalluli minhu
or to annul my obligation to him,
فَأَسْأَلُك يَا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ ٱلْحَاجَاتِ
fa as'alika ya man yamliku alhajati
I ask You, O He who owns all objects of need,
وَهِيَ مُسْتَجِيبَةٌ بِمَشِيَّتِهِ
wa hiya mustajibatun limashi'atihi
which are granted by His will
وَمُسْرِعَةٌ إِلَىٰ إِرَادَتِهِ
wa musri`atun ila iradatihi
and hasten to His desire
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
that You bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
وَأَنْ تُرْضِيَهُ عَنِّي بِمَا شِئْتَ
wa an turdiyahu `anni bima shi'ta
and make [the one I have wronged] satisfied with me in the manner that You will,
وَتَهَبَ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ رَحْمَةً
wa tahaba li min `indika rahmatan
and gift me mercy from You,
إِنَّهُ لاَ تَنْقُصُكَ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةُ
innahu la tanqusuka almaghfiratu
because, indeed, forgiveness decreases You not
وَلاَ تَضُرُّكَ ٱلْمَوْهِبَةُ
wa la tadurruka almawhibatu
and giving injures You not.
يَا أَرْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
ya arhama arrahimina
O Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
اَللَّهُمَّ أَوْلِنِي فِي كُلِّ يَومِ ٱثْنَيْنِ
allahumma awlini fi kulli yawmi ithnayni
O Allah, bestow upon me on every Monday
نِعْمَتَيْنِ مِنْكَ ثِنْتَيْنِ
ni`matayni minka thintayni
with two favors from You:
سَعَادَةً فِي أَوَّلِهِ بِطَاعَتِكَ
sa`adatan fi awwalihi bita`atika
the felicity to obey You at its beginning
وَنِعْمَةً فِي آخِرِهِ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ
wa ni`matan fi akhirihi bimahgfiratika
and the favor of Your forgiveness at its end!
يَا مَنْ هُوَ ٱلإِلٰهُ
ya man huwa al-ilahu
O He who is the God
وَلاَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ سِوَاهُ
wa la yaghfiru aldhdhunuba siwahu
and none other than Whom grants forgiveness for sins!
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْاَلُكَ قُوَّةً فِيْ عِبَادَتِكَ،
allaahumma innee as-aloka quwwatan fee e’baadateka
O God, I ask You for the strength to worship (You),
وَ تَبَصُّرًا فِيْ كِتَابِكَ،
wa tabassoran fee ketaabeka,
insight of book (Quran),
وَ فَهْمًا فِيْ حُكْمِكَ،
wa fahman fee hukmeka,
cognizance of religious laws
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
allaahumma salle a’laa mohammadin wa aale mohammadin,
O Allah, bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad
وَ لَا تَجْعَلِ الْقُرْاٰنَ بِنَا مَاحِلًا وَ الصِّرَاطَ زَائِلًا،
wa laa taj-a’lil quraana benaa maahelan was seraata zaaelan,
and do not make the Quran distant from us and the Siraat as downfall for us
ومُحَمَّدًا ﷺ عَنَّا مُوَلِّيًا.
wa mohammadan sallal laaho a’layhe wa aalehi a’nnaa mowalleyan.
and His Eminence, Muhammad as one, who turns away from us.
الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیْ ہُدَانِیْ لِلْاِسْلاَمِ وَ اَکْرَمَنِیْ بِالْاِیْمَانِ وَ بَصَّرَنِیْ بِالدِّیْنِ وَ شَرَّفَنِیْ بِالْیَقِیْنِ وَ عَرَّفَنِیْ الْحَقَّ الَّذِیْ عَنْہُ یُؤْفَکُوْنَ وَالنَّبَائِ الْعَظِیْمَ الَّذِیْ ہُمْ فِیْہِ مُخْتَلِفُوْنَ
alssalamu `alayka ya ibna rasuli rabbi al`alamina
Praise is for Allah Who guided me towards Islam, enlightened me in religion and granted me insight about those things in which people look for allegations and accusation.
سُبْحَانَ اﷲِ الَّذِیْ یَرْزُقُ الْقَاسِطَ الْعَادِلَ وَالْعَاقِلَ وَالْجَاہِلَ وَ یَرْحَمُ السَّاہِیَ وَالْغَافِلَ فَکَیْفَ الدَّاعِیَ السَّآئِلَ
alssalamu `alayka ya ibna amiri almu'minina
Pure is Allah Who sustains the great and the unjust, the intelligent and the fools, when He is Merciful towards the negligent and careless, why will He not be Merciful on those who invoke and beseech Him.
َوَ لاَ اِلٰہَ اِلاَّ اﷲُ اللَّطِیْفُ بِمَنْ شَرَدَ عَنْہُ مِنْ مُسْرِفِیْ عِبَادِہٖ لِیَرْجِعَ عَنْ عَتُوِّہٖ وَ عِنَادِنہٖ الرَّاضِیْ مِنَ الْمُنِیْبِ الْمُخْلِصِ بِدُوْنِ الْوُسْعِ وَالطَّاقَۃِ
alssalamu `alayka ya ibna fatimata alzzahra’i
There is no Lord except Allah and He bestows His grace and Mercy on those who run away from His obedience so that they may refrain from their tyranny and oppression and are prepared to do good deeds with sincere people.
alssalamu `alayka ya habiba allahi
And Allah is Great. He is tolerant and knowledgeable who has such amazing and marvelous proofs in the universe which proves His Godhood, without a doubt.
اوَ عَلٰی کُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنْ غَوَامِضِ تَقْدِیْرِہ وَ حُسْنِ تَدْبِیْرِہٖ دَلِیْلٌ وَاضِحٌ وَ شَاہِدُ عَدْلٍ یَقْضِیَانِ لَہٗ بِالْوَحْدَانِیَّۃِ
alssalamu `alayka ya sifwata allahi
His recognition of destinies and the excellent policies are adequate evidences and the just witnesses are sufficient proof of His Oneness.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ یَا مَنْ یَصْرِفُ الْبَلاَیَا وَ یَعْلَمُ الْخَفَایَا وَ یُجْزِلُ الْعَطَایَا سُؤَالَ نَادِمٍ عَلٰی اِقْتِرَافِ الْاٰثَامِ وَ سَالِمٍ عَلَی الْمَعَاصِیْ مِنَ اللَّیَالِیْ
alssalamu `alayka ya amina allahi
O my Creator! O He who wards off the misfortune, aware of the secrets, gives abundance in bestowal of rewards, I ask You, as the one who is ashamed of his sins and is persistently absorbed in disobedience.
وَالْاَیَّامِ اِذْلَمْ یَجِدْ مُجِیْرًا سِوَاکَ لِغُفْرَانِہَا وَلاَ مَوْئِلاً یَفْزَعُ اِلَیْہِ لِاِرْتِجَآءِ کَشْفِ فَاقَتِہٖ اِلاَّاِیَّاکَ
alssalamu `alayka ya hujjata allahi
I don't find anyone other than You who can grant me refuge in it.And there is none other than You, with whom I can get my helplessness dispelled and can put forth my grievances.
یَا جَلِیْلُ اَنْتَ الَّذِیْ عَمَّ الْخَلآئِقَ مَنُّکَ وَ غَمَرَتْہُمْ سَعَۃُ رَحْمَتُکَ وَ سَوَّغَتْہُمْ سَوَابِغُ نِعْمَتِکَ
alssalamu `alayka ya nura allahi
O the Lord of Majestic Your obligations have spread over the entire creation and our vast bounties have covered them up, and Your complete bestowals are a source of happiness
ا کَرِیْمُ الْمَاٰبِ وَالْجَوَادُ الْوَہَّابِ وَالْمُنْتَقِمُ مِمَّنْ عَصَاہُ بِاَلِیْمِ الْعَذَابِ دَعَوْتُکَ مُقِرًّا بِالْاِسَائَۃِ عَلٰی نَفْسِیْ اِذْلَمْ اَجِدُ مَلْجَأ اَلْجَاَہُ اِلَیْہِ فِیْ اِغْتِفَادِ مَا اکْتَسَبْتَ مِنَ الْاٰثَامِ
alssalamu `alayka ya sirata allahi
O the Honorable and the Generous and the abundant forgiver, and the one to deal strictly with the disobedient. I confess the errors of my soul and I plead to You because I don't find a better place to seek pardon for my evil deeds, other than You.
یَا خَیْرَ مَنِ اسْتُدْعٰی لِبَذْلِ الرَّغَآئِبِ وَ اَنْجَحَ مَامُوْلٍ لِکَشْفِ الْکَوَارِبِ لَکَ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوْہُ فَلاَ تَرُدَّنِیْ مِنْکَ بِالْحِرْمَانِ
alssalamu `alayka ya bayana hukmi allahi
O the bestower of the favorite bounties, and the warder of calamities and the foremost in making the wishes come true. The foreheads are bowed before You, don't send them dejected.
اِنَّکَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَشَآءُ وَ تَحْکُمُ مَا تُرِیْدُ اِلٰہِیْ وَ سَیِّدِیْ وَ مَوْلاَیَ اَیَّ رَبٍّ اِرْتَجِیْہِ اَمْ اَیَّ اِلٰہٍ اَقْصُدُہٗ اِذَا اَلَمَّ بِیَ النَّدَمُ وَ اَحَاطَتْ بِیَ الْمَعَاصِیْ وَ نَکَائِبُ خَوْفِ النِّقَمِ وَ اَنْتَ وَلِیَّ الصَّفْحِ وَ میَاوَی الْکَرَمِ
alssalamu `alayka ya nasira dini allahi
Indeed You do what pleases You and command what You like. O My Lord! O my Master! When sorrow and shame is open and the feeling of fear and chastisement has fallen down, then who is the lord from whom I can have hopes, who is He to whom I can have hopes, who is He to whom I can turn and You are the Lord of forgiveness and the peak of Mercy.
َ اِلٰہِیْ اَتُقِیْمُنِیْ مَقَامَ الْہَلَکَۃِ وَ اَنْتَ جَمِیْلُ السِّتْرِ وَ تَسَأَلُنِیْ عَنْ اِقْتِرَافِیْ عَلٰی رُئُوْسِ الْاَشْہَادِ وَ قَدْ مَخَبَّاتِ السِّتْرِ
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha alssayyidu alzzakiyyu
O My Lord! Will you put me among those who will be destroyed, whereas You are the best concealer (of sins), will You question me for my sins in everybody's presence, whereas You are aware of the secrets of the hearts.
فَاِنْ کُنْتُی اِلٰہِیْ مُسْرِفًا عَلٰی نَفْسِیْ مُخْطِئًا عَلَیْہَا بِاِنْتِہَاکَ الْحُرُمَاتِ نَاسِیًا لِمَا اجْتَرَمْتُ مِنَ الْہَفَوَاتِ فَاَنْتَ لَطِیْفٌ تَجُوْدُ عَلَی الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ بِرَحْمَتِکَ وَ تَتَفَضَّلْ عَلَی الْخَاطِئِیْنَ بِکَرَمِکَ فَارْحَمْنِیْ یَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِیْنَ فَاِنَّکَ تُسَکِّنَ
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha albarru alwafiyyu
O Allah although I have been unjust on my soul, and have overlooked Your commands, and have indulged myself in sins, and have forgotten everything, but still You are the Owner of favours who is extremely kind towards the sinners and is benevolent upon the evil doers by Your Grace.
َ یَا اِلٰہِیْ بِتَحَبُّنِکَ رَوْعَاتِ قُلُوْبِ الْوَجِلِیْنَ وَ تُحَقُّقِ بِتَطَوُّلِکَ اَمَلَ الْاٰمِلِیْنَ وَ تُفِیْضُ سَجَالَ عَطَایَاکَ عَلٰی غَیْرِ الْمُسْتَاہِلِیْنَ ف
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha alqa'imu al-aminu
Thus O the great Merciful be kind to me, as You are the one Who can give peace to the living heart and by Your favours, make the wishes of the hopeful come true. Your mercy also showers on the undeserving.
َاٰمِنِّیْ بِرَجَآئٍ لاَ یَشُوْبُہٗ قُنُوْطٌ وَ اَمَلٍ لاَ یُکَدِّرُہُ بَاْسٌی
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha al`alimu biltta'wili
Give me shade in those desires, where there is the sign of despair, and such a hope which is not destined by Your Chastisement.
ا مُحِیْطًا بِکُلِّ شَیْءٍ عِلْمًا وَ قَدْ اَصْبَحْتُ سَیِّدِیْ وَ اَمْسَیْتُ عَلٰی بَابٍ مِنْ اَبْوَابِ مِنَحِکَ سَآئِلاً وَ عَنِ التَّعَرُّضِ لِسِوَاکَ
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha alhadi almahdiyyu
O He who has covered everything by His knowledge, O my Master, now my state is such that from dawn to dusk I am begging at the door of Your Mercy and am away from asking from anyone else other than You.
بِالْمَسْأَلَۃِ عَادِلاً وَّ لَیْسَ مِنْ جَمِیْلِ اِمْتِنَانِکَ رَدُّ سَآئِلٍ مَا سُوْرٍ مَلْہُوْفٍ وَ مُضْطَرٍّ لِانْتِظَارِ خَیْرِکَ الْمَالُوْفِی
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha alttahiru alzzakiyyu
And Your immense grace is too great to reject the plea of a beggar, of a person who is imprisoned, one who is inflicted in problems, and one who impatiently awaits Your forgiveness to turn him down
الٰہِیْ اَنْتَ الَّذِیْ عَجَزَتِ الْاَوْہَامُ عَنِ الْاِحَاطَۃِ بِکَ وَ کَلَّتِ الْاَلْسُنُ عَنْ نَعْتِ ذٰلِکَ فَبِاٰلَآئِکَ وَ طَوْلِکَ
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha alttaqiyyu alnnaqiyyu
O my Lord, the strength, intellect and thoughts are incapable to gather knowledge about You and the tongues are dumbstruck in praising You.
صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَاغْفِرْلِیْ ذُنُوْبِیْ وَ اَوْسِعْ عَلَیَّ مِنْ فَضْلِکَ الْوَاسَعِ رِزْقًا وَاسِعًا حَلٰلاً طَیِّبًا فِیْ عَافِیَۃٍ وَ اَقِلْنِیْ الْعَثْرَۃ
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha alhaqqu alhaqiqu
Thus send blessings on Mohammed and his progeny by Your Grace and forgive my sins and Grant me pure and excellent and honorable sustenance by Your vast Grace.
َ یَا غَایَۃَ الْاٰمِلِیْنَ وَ جَبَّارَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِیْنَ وَالْبَاقِیْ بَعْدَ فَنَآءِ الْخَلْقِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ وَ دَیَّانَ یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha alshshahidu alssiddiqu
O the only support of hopeful, O the one having power on the Heavens and the Earth,O the one to remain after the destruction of entire creation, the Judge on the day of reward and punishment,
وَ اَنْتَ یَا مَوْلاَیَ ثِقَۃُ مَنْ لَمْ یَثْقِ بِنَفْسِہٖ لِاِفْرَاطِ خَلَلِہٖ وَ اَمَلُ مَنْ لَمْ یَکُنْ لَہٗ تَاْمِیْلٌ لِکَثْرَۃِ زَلَلِہٖ وَ رَجَآءُ مَنْ لَمْ یَرْتَجِ لِنَفْسِہٖ بِوَسِیْلَۃِ عَمَلِہ
alssalamu `alayka ya aba muhammadin alhasana ibna `aliyyin
O my Lord! One who due to errors does not have trust on himself, then his trust and the hope of the one who does not find any destination and the hope of the one who does not have any hopes left due to his deeds.
الٰہِیْ فَاَنْقِذْنِیْ بِرَحْمَتِکَ مِنَ الْمَہَالِکِ وَ اَحْلِلْنِیْ دَارَ الْاَخْیَارِ وَاجْعَلْنِیْ مِنْ مُرَافِقِیْ الْاَبْرَارِ وَاغْفِرْلِیْ ذُنُوْبَ اللَّیْلِ وَالنَّہَارِ
wa rahmatu allahi wa barakatuhu
O my Lord save me from destruction by Your Mercy, and put me among Your appointed people, count me among the pious ones, forgive my sins of the night and days,
َِیَا مُطَّلِعًا عَلَی الْاَسْرَارِ اِحْتَمِلْ عَنِّیْ مَوْلاَیَ اَدَآءَ مَا افْتَرَضْتَ عَلَیَّ لِلْاٰبَآءِ وَالْاُمَّہَاتِ وَالْاِخْوَانِ وَالْاَخْوَاتِ بِلُطْفِکَ وَ کَرِمَکَ یَا ذَاالْجَلاَلِ وَالْاِکْرَامِ وَ اَشْرِکْنَا فِیْ دُعَآءِ مَنِ اسْتَجَبْتَ لَہٗ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ
assalamu `alayka ya ibna rasuli allahi
O the Knower of the secrets of the hearts, O the possessor of grandeur and Majestic, the rights of my parents, brothers, and sisters which are obligatory upon me, You fulfill it and relieve me of it with Your Mercy and include me among those believers, whose supplication You have accepted.
اِنَّکَ جَوَادٌ کَرِیْمٌ وَہَّابٌ صَلَّی اﷲُ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِہٖ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِیْمًا
assalamu `alayka ya ibna amiri almu'minina
Indeed You are Generous and on excessive forgiver. O Allah send blessings on Mohammad and his progeny and bestow Your best protection
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بْنَ رَسُولِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَالَمِينَ
alssalamu `alayka ya ibna sayyidati nisa'i al`alamina
Peace be on you, O son of the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds!
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بْنَ أَمِيرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
ash-hadu annaka aqamta alssalata
Peace be on you, O son of the Commander of the Believers!
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بْنَ فَاطِمَةَ ٱلزَّهْرَاءِ
