O He the wonders of whose mightiness will never end! Bless Muhammad and his Householdand prevent us from deviation concerning Thy mightiness!
وَ يَا مَنْ لَا تَنْتَهِي مُدَّةُ مُلْكِهِ ، صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ أَعْتِقْ رِقَابَنَا مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ .
O He the term of whose kingdom will never cease! Bless Muhammad and his Householdand release our necks from Thy vengeance!
وَ يَا مَنْ لَا تَفْنَى خَزَائِنُ رَحْمَتِهِ ، صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا نَصِيباً فِي رَحْمَتِكَ .
O He the treasuries of whose mercy will never be exhausted! Bless Muhammad and his Householdand appoint for us a portion of Thy mercy!
وَ يَا مَنْ تَنْقَطِعُ دُونَ رُؤْيَتِهِ الْأَبْصَارُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ أَدْنِنَا إِلَى قُرْبِكَ
O He whom eyes fall short of seeing! Bless Muhammad and his Householdand bring us close to Thy nearness!
وَ يَا مَنْ تَصْغُرُ عِنْدَ خَطَرِهِ الْأَخْطَارُ ، صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ كَرِّمْنَا عَلَيْكَ .
O He before whose greatness all great things are small! Bless Muhammad and his Householdand give us honour with Thee!

O He to whom all hidden tidings are manifest! Bless Muhammad and his Householdand expose us not before Thee!
اللَّهُمَّ أَغْنِنَا عَنْ هِبَةِ الْوَهَّابِينَ بِهِبَتِكَ ، وَ اكْفِنَا وَحْشَةَ الْقَاطِعِينَ بِصِلَتِكَ حَتَّى لَا نَرْغَبَ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مَعَ بَذْلِكَ ، وَ لَا نَسْتَوْحِشَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مَعَ فَضْلِكَ .
O God, remove our need for the gifts of the givers through Thy gift, spare us the loneliness of those who break off through Thy joining, that we may beseech no one along with Thy free giving, that we may feel lonely at no one's absence along with Thy bounty!
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ كِدْ لَنَا وَ لَا تَكِدْ عَلَيْنَا ، وَ امْكُرْ لَنَا وَ لَا تَمْكُرْ بِنَا ، وَ أَدِلْ لَنَا وَ لَا تُدِلْ مِنَّا .
O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, scheme for us, not against us, devise to our benefit, not to our loss, give the turn to prevail to us, not to others!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ قِنَا مِنْكَ ، وَ احْفَظْنَا بِكَ ، وَ اهْدِنَا إِلَيْكَ ، وَ لَا تُبَاعِدْنَا عَنْكَ إِنَّ مَنْ تَقِهِ يَسْلَمْ وَ مَنْ تَهْدِهِ يَعْلَمْ ، وَ مَنْ تُقَرِّبْهُ إِلَيْكَ يَغْنَمْ .
O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, protect us from Thyself, safeguard us through Thyself, guide us to Thyself, and take us not far from Thyself! he whom Thou protectest stays safe, he whom Thou guidest knows, and he whom Thou bringest near Thyself takes the spoils.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ اكْفِنَا حَدَّ نَوَائِبِ الزَّمَانِ ، وَ شَرَّ مَصَايِدِ الشَّيْطَانِ ، وَ مَرَارَةَ صَوْلَةِ السُّلْطَانِ .
O God, bless Muhammad and his Householdand spare us the cutting edge of time's turning changes, the evil of Satan's snares, and the bitterness of the sovereign's aggression!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّمَا يَكْتَفِي الْمُكْتَفُونَ بِفَضْلِ قُوَّتِكَ ، فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ اكْفِنَا ، وَ إِنَّمَا يُعْطِي الْمُعْطُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ جِدَتِكَ ، فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ أَعْطِنَا ، وَ إِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي الْمُهْتَدُونَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ ، فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ اهْدِنَا .

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ مَنْ وَاَلَيْتَ لَمْ يَضْرُرْهُ خِذْلَانُ الْخَاذِلِينَ ، وَ مَنْ أَعْطَيْتَ لَمْ يَنْقُصْهُ مَنْعُ الْمَانِعِينَ ، وَ مَنْ هَدَيْتَ لَمْ يُغْوِهِ إِضْلَالُ الْمُضِلِّينَ
O God, he whom Thou befriendest will not be injured by the abandonment of the abandoners, he to whom Thou givest will not be diminishedby the withholding of the withholders, he whom Thou guidest will not be misledby the misguidance of the misguiders.
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ امْنَعْنَا بِعِزِّكَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ ، وَ أَغْنِنَا عَنْ غَيْرِكَ بِإِرْفَادِكَ ، وَ اسْلُكْ بِنَا سَبِيلَ الْحَقِّ بِإِرْشَادِكَ .
So bless Muhammad and his Household, defend us from Thy servants through Thy might, free us from need for other than Thee through Thy support, and make us travel the path of the Truth through Thy right guidance!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ اجْعَلْ سَلَامَةَ قُلُوبِنَا فِي ذِكْرِ عَظَمَتِكَ ، وَ فَرَاغَ أَبْدَانِنَا فِي شُكْرِ نِعْمَتِكَ ، وَ انْطِلَاقَ أَلْسِنَتِنَا فِي وَصْفِ مِنَّتِكَ .
O God, bless Muhammad and his Householdand put the soundness of our hearts in to the remembrance of Thy mightiness, the idleness of our bodies in to giving thanks for Thy favour, and the flow of our tongues in to the description of Thy kindness!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ دُعَاتِكَ الدَّاعِينَ إِلَيْكَ ، وَ هُدَاتِكَ الدَّالِّينَ عَلَيْكَ ، وَ مِنْ خَاصَّتِكَ الْخَاصِّينَ لَدَيْكَ ، يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O God, bless Muhammad and his Householdand make us one of Thy summoners who summon to Thee, Thy guiders who direct to Thee, and Thy special friends whom Thou hast singled out! O Most Merciful of the merciful!
