بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
bismillahi alrrahmani alrrahimi
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱللَّيلَ لِبَاساً
alhamdu lillahi alladhi ja`ala allayla libasan
All praise be to Allah Who appointed the night to be a garment,
وَٱلنَّوْمَ سُبَاتاً
walnnawma subatan
and sleep for a rest,
وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُوراً
wa ja`ala alnnahara nushuran
and day He appointed for a rising!
لَكَ ٱلْحَمْدُ أَنْ بَعَثْتَنِي مِنْ مَرْقَدِي
laka alhamdu an ba`athtani min marqadi
To You belongs praise, for You roused me from my sleep,
وَلَوْ شِئْتَ جَعَلْتَهُ سَرْمَداً
wa law shi'ta ja`altahu sarmadan
and had You willed, You would have made it everlasting;
حَمْداً دَائِماً لاَ يَنْقَطِعُ اَبَداً
hamdan da'iman la yanqati`u abadan
an endless praise that will never be cut off
وَلاَ يُحْصِي لَهُ ٱلخَلائِقُ عَدَداً
wa la yuhsi lahu alkhala'iqu `adadan
and whose number the creatures will never count!
اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ ٱلْحَمْدُ أَنْ خَلَقْتَ فَسَوَّيْتَ
allahumma laka alhamdu an khalaqta fasawwayta
O Allah, to You belongs praise, for You created, then fashioned,
وَقَدَّرْتَ وَقَضَيْتَ
wa qaddarta wa qadayta
ordained and decreed,
وَ أَمَتَّ وَ أَحْيَيْتَ
wa amatta wa ahyayta
gave death and bestowed life,
وَ أَمْرَضْتَ وَشَفَيْتَ
wa amradta wa shafayta
made sick and healed,
وَعَافَيْتَ وَ أَبْلَيْتَ

and encompassed the Kingdom!
أَدْعُوكَ دُعَاءَ مَنْ ضَعُفَتْ وَسِيلَتُهُ
ad`uka du`a'a man da`ufat wasilatuhu
I supplicate You with the supplication of one whose mediation is weak,
وَٱنْقَطَعَتْ حِيلَتُهُ
wanqata`at hilatuhu
whose stratagems have been cut off,
وَٱقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُ

whose term has drawn near,
وَتَدَانَىٰ فِي ٱلدُّنْيَا أَمَلُهُ
wa tadana fi alddunya amaluhu
whose expectation from this world has shrunk,
وَٱشْتَدَّتْ إِلَىٰ رَحْمَتِكَ فَاقَتُهُ
wa ishtaddat ila rahmatika faqatuhu
whose neediness for Your mercy has intensified,
وَعَظُمَتْ لِتَفْرِيطِهِ حَسْرَتُهُ
wa `azumat litafritihi hasratuhu
whose remorse for his neglect has become great,
وَكَثُرَتْ زَلَّتُهُ وَعَثْرَتُهُ
wa kathurat zallatuhu wa `athratuhu
whose slips and stumbles have become many,
وَخَلُصَتْ لِوَجْهِكَ تَوْبَتُهُ
wa khalusat liwajhika tawbatuhu
and whose repentance is devoted sincerely to Your face.
فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ
fasalli `ala muhammadin
So, bless Muhammad,
خَاتَمِ النَّبِيّينَ
khatami alnnabiyyina
the Seal of the Prophets,
وَعَلَىٰ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ٱلطَّيِّبِينَ ٱلطَّاهِرِينَ
wa `ala ahli baytihi alttayyibina alttahirina
and his Household, the good, the pure,
وَٱرْزُقْنِي شَفَاعَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ
warzuqni shafa`ata muhammadin
and provide me with the intercession of Muhammad,
صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ
salla allahu `alayhi wa alihi
Allah bless him and his Household,
وَلاَ تَحْرِمْنِي صُحْبَتَهُ
wa la tahrimni suhbatahu
and deprive me not of his companionship!
إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
innaka anta arhamu arrahimina
Surely, You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
اَللَّهُمَّ ٱقْضِ لِي فِي ٱلأَرْبِعَاءِ اَرْبَعاً
allahumma iqdi li fil-arbu`a'i arba`an
O Allah, decree for me on Wednesday four things:
إِجْعَلْ قُوَّتِي فِي طَاعَتِكَ
ij`al quwwati fi ta`atika
Induce me to be strong in obedience to You,
وَنَشَاطِي فِي عِبَادَتِكَ
wa nashati fi `ibadatika
to be active in worshiping You,
وَرَغْبَتِي فِي ثَوَابِكَ
wa raghbati fi thawabika
to be desirous for Your reward,
وَزُهْدِي فِيمَا يُوجِبُ لِي أَلِيمَ عِقَابِكَ
wa zuhdi fima yujibu li alima `iqabika
and to abstain from that which would make incumbent upon me Your painful punishment!
إِنَّكَ لَطِيفٌ لِمَا تَشَاءُ
innaka latifun lima tasha'u
You are Gentle to whom You will!
اَللّٰهُمَّ احْرُسْنَا بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِيْ لَا تَنَامُ،
allaahummah rusnaa be-a’ynekal latee laa tanaamo
O God, protect us through the eyes that never sleep
وَ رُكْنِكَ الَّذِيْ لَا يُرَامُ،
wa ruknekal lazee laa yoraamo,
and through that support, which no one can reach.
وَ بِاَسْمَائِكَ الْعِظَامِ،
wa be-asmaa-ekal e’zaame,
And through your great names,
وَ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِهٖ،
wa salle a’laa mohammadin wa aalehi,
O God, have mercy on Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad
وَ احْفَظْ عَلَيْنَا مَا لَوْ حَفِظَهٗ
wah faz a’laynaa maa law hafezahu
and keep this faith of ours safe. Which if it had been secured by anyone else, it would have been destroyed
غَيْرُكَ ضَاعَ وَ اسْتُرْ عَلَيْنَا مَا لَوْ سَتَرَهٗ غَيْرُكَ شَاعَ،
ghayroka zaa-a’ was tur a’laynaa maa law satarahu ghayroka shaa-a’,
And conceal our defect. If anyone other than You had concealed them, they would have been divulged
وَ اجْعَلْ كُلَّ ذٰلِكَ لَنَا مِطْوَاعًا اِنَّكَ سَمِيْعُ الدُّعَاءِ،
waj a’l kulla zaaleka lanaa mitwaa-a’n innaka samee-u’d do-a’a-e,
and make all those things subservient to us, as indeed You are the one, who hears the supplications,
قَرِيْبٌ مُجِيْبٌ.
qareebun mojeebun.
nearest to the servants and one who accepts their plea.
بِسْمِ اﷲِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
alssalamu `alaykum ya awliya'a allahi
In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیْ مَرَضَاتُہٗ فِی الطَّلَبِ اِلَیْہِ وَ اِلْتِمَاسِ مَا لَدَیہِ وَسَخْطُہٗ فِیْ تَرْکِ الْاِلْحَاحِ فِیْ الْمَسْئَلَۃِ عَلَیْہِ وَ سُبْحَانَ اﷲِ شَاہِدُ کُلِّ نَجْوٰی بِعِلْمِہٖ وَ مُبَآئِنِ کُلِّ ذِیْ جِسْمٍ بِنَفْسِہٖ وَلَآ اِلٰہَ اِلاَّ اﷲُ الَّذِیْ لاَ یُدْرَکُ بِالْعُیُوْنِ وَالْاَبْصَارِ وَ لاَ یُجْہَلُ بِالْعُقُوْلِ وَالْاَلْبَابِ وَ یُخْلَقُ مِنَ الضَّمِیْرِ
alssalamu `alaykum ya hujaja allahi
Praise is for Allah who is pleased with the one who invokes Him and who supplicate to Him and in realizing his stubbornness His wrath is concealed. Pure is Allah who is aware of every whisper due to His knowledge and is different from all the creatures possessing body. There is no Lord except Allah. He cannot be seen by imagination or with eyes, and cannot be denied due to intellect and reason. Nor he can be created by the heart.
وَ یَعْلَمُ خَآئِنَۃَ الْاَعْیَنِ وَمَا تَخْفِی الصُّدُوْرِ وَاﷲُ اَکْبَرُ الْمُتَجَلِّلُ عَنْ صِفَاتِ الْمَخْلُوْقِیْنَ الْمُطِّعُ عَلٰی مَافِیْ قُلُوْبِ الْخَلَآئِقِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ
alssalamu `alaykum ya nura allahi fi zulumati al-ardi
He is aware of the indication of eyes and the secrets of the hearts and Allah is too great and Majestic who is aware of the Qualities of the creation and is aware of the secrets of the entire Universe.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ سُؤَالَ مَنْ لاَ یَمِلُّ دُعَآءَ رَبِّہٖ وَ اَتَضَرَّعُ اِلَیْکَ تَضَرَّعُ غَرِیْقٍ یَرْجُوْا کَشْفَ کُرْبِہٖ وَ اَبْتَہِلُ اِلَیْکَ اِبْتِہَالِ تَآئِبٍ مِنْ ذُنُوْبِہٖ وَ خَطَایَاہُ
alssalamu `alaykum
O Allah! I seek from You like the one who does not fear his lord while asking from Him, and I beseech You like the one who is drowned in calamities and desires to come out of it. And I call upon You, so restlessly as the one who is repenting on his sins and errors.
وَ اَنْتَ الرَّئُوْفُ الَّذِیْ مَلَکْتَ الْخَلَآئِقَ کَلُّہُمْ وَفَطَرْتَہُمْ اَجْنَاسًا مُخْتَلِفَاتِ الْاَلْوَانِ وَالْاَقْدَارِ عَلٰی مَشِیَّتِکَ وَ قَدَّرْتَ اٰجَالَہُمْ وَ اَرْزَاقَہُمْ فَلَمْ یَتَعَاظَمَکَ خَلْقُ خَلْقٍ حَتّٰی کَوَّنْتَہٗ کَمَا شِئْتَ مُخْتَلِفًا مِمَّا شِئْتَ فَتَعَالَیْتَ وَ تَجَبَّرْتَ عَنِ اتِّخَاذِ وَزِیْرٍ وَ تَعَزَّزْتَ عَنْ مُوَازَرَۃٍ شَرِیْکٍ وَ تَنَزَّہْتَ عَنِ اتِّخَاذِ الْاَبْنَآءِ وَ تَقَدَّسْتَ عَنْ مَلاَمَسَۃِ النِّسَآءِ۔
salawatu allahi `alaykum
And You are the most merciful, lord of the entire creation, creating various creatures by Your Will. You have fixed their life span and their sustenance creating of a creature is not difficult for You and designed them as You desired. You are above everything so as to be dependent of anything, or that a partner be ascribed to You.
فَلَیْسَتِ الْاَبْصَارُ بِمُدْرِکَۃٍ لَکَ وَ لَیْسَتِ الْاَوْہَامُ بِوَاقِعَۃٍ عَلَیْکَ وَ لَیْسَ لَکَ شَرِیْکٌ وَلاَ نِدٌّ وَلاَ عَدِیْلٌ وَلاَ نَظِیْرٌ وَ اَنْتَ الْفَرْدُ الْوَاحِدُ الدَّآئِمُ الْاَوَّلُ الْاٰخِرُ وَالْعَالِمُ الْاَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الْقَآئِمُ الَّذِیْ لَمْ تَلِدْ وَلَمْ تُوْلَدْ وَلَمْ یَکُنْ لَکَ کَفُوًا اَحَدٌ-
wa `ala ali baytikumu alttayyibina alttahirina
We cannot see You with eyes, no false belief can reach up to You, and You have no partners, no opposite and no equal. You are one, alone and eternal. You are the first, the last, the Knower, unconcerned and the everlasting, You are not a son of anyone and no one is Your son.
لاَ تَنَالُ بِوَصْفٍ وَلاَ تُدْرَکُ بِوَہْمٍ وَلاَ تُغَیِّرُکَ فِیْ مَرِّ الدُّہُوْرِ صَرْفٌ کَنْتَ اَزَلِیًّا لَمْ تَزَلْ وَلاَ تَزَالُ وَ عِلْمُکَ بِالْاَشْیَآءِ فِی الْخِفَآءِ کَعِلْمِکَ بِہَا فِی الْاِجْہَادِ وَالْاِعْلاَنِ۔
bi-abi antum wa ummi
None is like you and no one can understand you by praising or by hallucination. No time, no rotation of the earth can change You. You were Eternal and will remain everlasting till end. You know what is concealed. Your knowledge is same as it was before.
فَیَامَنْ ذَلَّتْ لِعَظَمَتِہٖ الْعُظَمَآءُ وَخَضَعَتْ لِعِزَّتِہِ الرُّءَ وسَآءُ وَ مَنْ کَلَّتْ عَنْ بُلُوْغِ ذَاتِہٖ اَلْسُنُ الْبُلَغَآءِ وَمَنْ اَحْکَمَ تَدْبِیْرَ الْاَشْیَآءِ وَاسْتَعْجَمَتْ عَنْ اِدْرَاکِہٖ عِبَارَۃِ عُلُوْمِ الْعُلَمَآء
laqad `abadtumu allaha mukhlisina
O the one! O the one in comparsion of Whose greatness the greatest personalities are nothing.And beforeWhose might the mighty people are helpless. The words of the litterateurs fail to reach His Being. The One Who has fixed the course of action of everything. And the writings of the eloquent ones fail to express His realities.
یَا سَیِّدِیْ اَتُعَذِّبُنِیْ بِالنَّارِ وَ اَنْتَ اَمَلِیْ اَوْ تُسَلِّطُہَا عَلَیَّ بَعْدَ اِقْرَارِیْ لَکَ بِالتَّوْحِیْدِ وَ خُضُوْعِیْ وَ خُشُوْعِیْ لَکَ بِالسُّجُوْدِ اَوْ تُلَجْلِجُ لِسَانِیْ فِیْ الْمَوْقَفِ وَ قَدْ مَہَّدْتَ لِیْ بِمَنِّکَ سُبُلَ الْوُصُوْلِ اِلٰی التَّسْبِیْحِ وَالتَّحْمِیْدِ وَالتَّمْجِیْدِ
wa jahadtum fi allahi haqqa jihadihi
My Lord! What you inmate me in the fire! Though You are my wish or you'll subdue the fire of hell on me! I confess your oneness and I assert of my lowliness and bow down my head before You. Or my tongue falter in speech by giving the account, though you bestows rosary to pray for your glory,
فَیَا غَایَۃَ الطَّالِبِیْنَ وَ اَمَانَ الْخَآئِفِیْنَ وَ عِمَادَ الْمَلْہُوْفِیْنَ وَ غِیَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِیْثِیْنَ وَجَارَ الْمُسْتَجِیْرِیْنَ وَ کَاشِفَ ضُرِّ الْمَکْرُوْبِیْنَ وَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِیْنَ وَ اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِیْنَ
hatta atakumu alyaqinu
O helper of seekers, O protector of frightened people who seek protection, of frightened people who seek protection, O comforter to remove the sorry of afflicted persons.O cherisher, of learned people and O greatest of all kind of people, O merciful,
صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُبْ عَلَیَّ وَ اَلْبِسْنِیْ الْعَافِیَۃِ وَارْزُقْنِیْ مِنْ فَضْلِکَ رِزْقًا وَاسِعًا وَاجْعَلْنِیْ مِنَ التَّوَّابِیْنَ
fala`ana allahu a`da'akum
O my Lord, bless Mohammad Mustafa and his progeny. Accept my repentance give me good health and do favour for my livelihood and place me among the pious people.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنْ کُنْتَ کَتَبْتَنِیْ شَقِیًّا عِنْدَکَ فَاِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِکَ بِالْکِبْرِیَآءِ وَالْعَظَمَۃِ الَّتِیْ لاَ یُقَاوِمُہَا مُتَکَّبِّرٌ وَلاَ عَظِیْمٌ
mina aljinni wal-insi ajma`ina
O Allah! You considered me as a sinner, I cry for mercy and quote for the sake of Your grace and honourable places and your grandeur and magnificence that no one can oppose you.
اَنْ تُصَلِّیَ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تُحَوِّلْنِیْ سَعِیْدًا فَاِنَّکَ تَجْرِی الْاَمُوْرِ عَلٰی اِرَادَتِکَ وَ تَجِیْرُ وَلاَ یُجَارُ عَلَیْکَ وَ اَنْتَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ وَ اَنْتَ الرَّئُوْفُ الرَّحِیْمُ الْخَبِیْرُ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْ نَفْسِیْ وَلاَ اَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْ نَفْسِکَ اِنَّکَ اَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُیُوْبِ فَاَلْطُفْ بِیْ فَقَدِیْمًا لَطُفْتَ بِمُسْرِفٍ عَلٰی نَفْسِہٖ
wa ana abra'u ila allahi wa ilaykum minhum

فَاكْفِنِيهِ بِمَ شِئْتَ وَ اشْغَلْهُ عَنِّي بِمَ شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهُ
because there is no change nor any strength except by You!
لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ
O, Allah, I seek refuge with You from the accursed shaytan,
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
from his; temptations, disagreements, fear, and whispers.
وَ مِنْ مَغَاوِيهِ وَ اعْتِرَاضِهِ وَ فَزَعِهِ وَ وَسْوَسَتِهِ
O, Allah, do not make for him authority upon me,
اللَّهُمَّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْ لَهُ عَلَيَّ سُلْطَاناً
and do not let him find a way to me
وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لَهُ عَلَيَّ سَبِيلًا
and make for him neither a share nor portion in my properties and sons.
وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لَهُ فِي مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي شِرْكاً
And Keep us far away from him
وَ لَا نَصِيباً وَ بَاعِدْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ
as You have kept the East far away from the West
كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ
so that he does not ruin any of our obeying to You,
حَتَّى لَا يُفْسِدَ شَيْئاً مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ عَلَيْنَا
and complete Your grace, to us with Your pleasure upon us;
وَ أَتْمِمْ نِعْمَتَكَ عِنْدَنَا بِمَرْضَاتِكَ
O, Most Merciful of the merciful!
يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And blessings of Allah be upon our Master, His Messenger; the Prophet Muhammed
وَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا رَسُولِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ
and his pure Household; and exalt you thoroughly.
وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً
Peace be upon al-Reza, the well-pleased, exalted chief of the Prophet’s successor, and leader of the pious ones, representative of the Beneficent, and leader of the people of the Holy Quran,
َلسَّلَامُ عَلَى الرِّضَا الْمُرْتَضٰى سَـمِيِّ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّيْنَ وَ اِمَامِ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ خَلِيْفَةِ الرَّحْمٰنِ وَ اِمَامِ اَهْلِ الْقُرْآنِ
the man of true interpretation, core of distinction (between the right and the wrong), the bearer of the Torah and the Gospel, destructor of the mischiefs and the vanities, instructor and doer (of action),
وَ صَاحِبِ التَّاْوِيْلِ وَ مَعْدِنِ الْفُرْقَانِ وَ حَامِلِ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْاِنْـجِيْلِ وَ اِفْنَآءِ الْـخَبِيْثَاتِ وَ الْاَبَاطِيْلِ وَ الْقَائِلِ الْفَاعِلِ
the evenhanded judge, the truthful good doer, the possessor of the honour, his grandfather is the chief of the messengers, and his father is the chief of the Prophet’s successor, and to him is the place of return for the first and the last.
وَ الْـحَاكِمِ الْعَادِلِ وَ الصَّادِقِ الْبَرِّ وَ الْـحَائِزِ الْفَخْرِ جَدُّهٗ سَيِّدُ النَّبِيِّيْنَ وَ اَبُوْهُ سَيِّدُ الْوَصِيِّيْنَ وَ اِلَيْهِ مَآبُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ وَ الْآخِرِيْنَ
Peace be on you, O Abal Hasan Ali, son of Moosa al-Reza and mercy of Allah and his blessings. O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad and on the progeny of Muhammad, and like You have honoured him with Muhammad, Your Prophet and appointed him as Your truthful guide, then he called towards Your path with wisdom and fair exhortation,
اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا اَبَا الْـحَسَنِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى الرِّضَا وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهٗ اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُـحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلٰى اٰلِ مُـحَمَّدٍ وَ كَمَا اَكْرَمْتَهٗ بِـمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُوْلِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَهٗ فِيْ الْـحَقِّ دَلِيْلَكَ فَدَعَا اِلٰى سَبِيْلِكَ بِالْـحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْـحَسَنَةِ
then complete for him the promise, then complete for him the covenant and finish for him the promise, and support him and his progeny and his friends with victory and army to purify the religion with devotion, then act in it with exertion so he renders for Your pure religion and complete praise.
فَاَكْمِلْ لَهُ الْعَهْدَ وَ تَـمِّمْ لَهُ الْوَعْدَ وَ اَيِّدْهُ وَ ذُرِّيَّتَهٗ وَ اَوْلِيَآئَهٗ بِالنَّصْرِ وَ الْـجُنْدِ لِيُخَلِّصَ الدِّيْنَ بِالْـجِدِّ فَيَعْمَلَ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ بِالْـجَهْدِ وَ يُصَيِّرَ لَكَ الدِّيْنَ خَالِصًا وَ الْـحَمْدَ تَامًّا
O Allah! Send blessings upon him when he is alive and when he dies, and expediate our relief by him and the vicegerent after him, and help him against the people of Satan, and through him honour the belief and degrade the Satan.
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ حَيًّا وَ مَيِّتًا وَ عَـجِّلْ فَرَجَنَا بِهٖ وَ بِالْوَصِيِّ مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ وَ انْصُرْهُ عَلٰى اَهْلِ طَاعَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ اَعْزِزْ بِهِ الْاِيْـمَانَ وَ اَذْلِلْ بِهِ الشَّيْطَانَ.
