وَ أَقِمْ بِهِ كِتَابَكَ وَ حُدُودَكَ وَ شَرَائِعَكَ وَ سُنَنَ رَسُولِكَ ، صَلَوَاتُكَ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ مَا أَمَاتَهُ الظَّالِمُونَ مِنْ مَعَالِمِ دِينِكَ ، وَ اجْلُ بِهِ صَدَاءَ الْجَوْرِ عَنْ طَرِيقَتِكَ ، وَ أَبِنْ بِهِ الضَّرَّاءَ مِنْ سَبِيلِكَ ، وَ أَزِلْ بِهِ النَّاكِبِينَ عَنْ صِرَاطِكَ ، وَ امْحَقْ بِهِ بُغَاةَ قَصْدِكَ عِوَجاً
Through himestablish Thy Book, Thy bounds, Thy laws, and the norms of Thy Messenger's Sunna(Thy blessings, O God, be upon him and his Household), bring to life the guideposts of Thy religion, deadened by the wrongdoers, burnish the rust of injustice from Thy way, sift the adversity from Thy road, eliminate those who deviate from Thy path, and erase those who seek crookedness in Thy straightness!
وَ أَلِنْ جَانِبَهُ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ ، وَ ابْسُطْ يَدَهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِكَ ، وَ هَبْ لَنَا رَأْفَتَهُ ، وَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَ تَعَطُّفَهُ وَ تَحَنُّنَهُ ، وَ اجْعَلْنَا لَهُ سَامِعِينَ مُطِيعِينَ ، وَ فِي رِضَاهُ سَاعِينَ ، وَ إِلَى نُصْرَتِهِ وَ الْمُدَافَعَةِ عَنْهُ مُكْنِفِينَ ، وَ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَى رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِذَلِكَ مُتَقَرِّبِينَ .
Make his side mild toward Thy friends, stretch forth his hand over Thy enemies, give ushis clemency, his mercy, his tenderness, his sympathy, and make ushis hearers and obeyers, strivers toward his good pleasure, assistants in helping him and defending him, and brought near through that to Theeand Thy Messenger(Thy blessings, O God, be upon him and his Household).
اللَّهُمَّ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِمُ الْمُعْتَرِفِينَ بِمَقَامِهِمُ ، الْمُتَّبِعِينَ مَنْهَجَهُمُ ، الْمُقْتَفِينَ آثَارَهُمُ ، الْمُسْتَمْسِكِينَ بِعُرْوَتِهِمُ ، الْمُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِوِلَايَتِهِمُ ، الْمُؤْتَمِّينَ بِإِمَامَتِهِمُ ، الْمُسَلِّمِينَ لِأَمْرِهِمُ ، الْمُجْتَهِدِينَ فِي طَاعَتِهِمُ ، الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ أَيَّامَهُمُ ، الْمَادِّينَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْيُنَهُمُ ، الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمُبَارَكَاتِ الزَّاكِيَاتِ النَّامِيَاتِ الْغَادِيَاتِ الرَّائِحَاتِ .
O God, and blessthe friends [of the Imams], the confessors of their station, the keepers to their course, the pursuers of their tracks, the clingers to their handhold, the adherents to their guardianship, the followers of their imamate, the submitters to their command, the strivers to obey them, the awaiters of their days, the directors of their eyes toward them, with blessings blessed, pure, growing, fresh, and fragrant!
وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ ، وَ اجْمَعْ عَلَى التَّقْوَى أَمْرَهُمْ ، وَ أَصْلِحْ لَهُمْ شُئُونَهُمْ ، وَ تُبْ عَلَيْهِمْ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ ، وَ خَيْرُ الْغَافِرِينَ ، وَ اجْعَلْنَا مَعَهُمْ فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ ، يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ .
Give them and their spirits peace, bring together their affair in reverential fear, set right their situations, turn toward them, Surely Thou art Ever-turning, All-compassionate28and the Best of forgivers, and place us with them in the Abode of Peace, through Thy mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful!
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ يَوْمٌ شَرَّفْتَهُ وَ كَرَّمْتَهُ وَ عَظَّمْتَهُ ، نَشَرْتَ فِيهِ رَحْمَتَكَ ، وَ مَنَنْتَ فِيهِ بِعَفْوِكَ ، وَ أَجْزَلْتَ فِيهِ عَطِيَّتَكَ ، وَ تَفَضَّلْتَ بِهِ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ .
O God, this is the Day of 'Arafa, a day which Thou hast made noble, given honour, and magnified. Within it Thou hast spread Thy mercy, showed kindness through Thy pardon, and made plentiful Thy giving, and by it Thou hast been bounteous toward Thy servants.
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ الَّذِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَبْلَ خَلْقِكَ لَهُ وَ بَعْدَ خَلْقِكَ إِيَّاهُ ، فَجَعَلْتَهُ مِمَّنْ هَدَيْتَهُ لِدِينِكَ ، وَ وَفَّقْتَهُ لِحَقِّكَ ، وَ عَصَمْتَهُ بِحَبْلِكَ ، وَ أَدْخَلْتَهُ فِي حِزْبِكَ ، وَ أَرْشَدْتَهُ لِمُوَالَاةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ ، وَ مُعَادَاةِ أَعْدَائِكَ .
I am Thy servant whom Thou favoured before creating himand after creating him. Thou madest him one of those whom Thouguided to Thy religion, gavest success in fulfilling Thy right, preserved through Thy cord, included within Thy party, and directed aright to befriend Thy friendsand show enmity to Thine enemies.
ثُمَّ أَمَرْتَهُ فَلَمْ يَأْتَمِرْ ، وَ زَجَرْتَهُ فَلَمْ يَنْزَجِرْ ، وَ نَهَيْتَهُ عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ ، فَخَالَفَ أَمْرَكَ إِلَى نَهْيِكَ ، لَا مُعَانَدَةً لَكَ ، وَ لَا اسْتِكْبَاراً عَلَيْكَ ، بَلْ دَعَاهُ هَوَاهُ إِلَى مَا زَيَّلْتَهُ وَ إِلَى مَا حَذَّرْتَهُ ، وَ أَعَانَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عَدُوُّكَ وَ عَدُوُّهُ ، فَأَقْدَمَ عَلَيْهِ عَارِفاً بِوَعِيدِكَ ، رَاجِياً لِعَفْوِكَ ، وَاثِقاً بِتَجَاوُزِكَ ، وَ كَانَ أَحَقَّ عِبَادِكَ مَعَ مَا مَنَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَلَّا يَفْعَلَ .
Then Thou commanded him, but he did not follow Thy commands, Thou restricted Him, but he did not heed Thy restrictions, Thou prohibited him from disobedience toward Thee, but he broke Thy command by doing what Thou hadst prohibited, not in contention with Thee, nor to display pride toward Thee; on the contrary, his caprice30called him to that which Thou hadst set apart and cautioned against, and he was helped in that by Thy enemy and his enemy. So he went ahead with it knowing Thy threat, hoping for Thy pardon, and relying upon Thy forbearance, though he was the most obligated of Thy servants - given Thy kindness toward him -not to do so.
وَ هَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ صَاغِراً ذَلِيلًا خَاضِعاً خَاشِعاً خَائِفاً ، مُعْتَرِفاً بِعَظِيمٍ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ تَحَمَّلْتُهُ ، وَ جَلِيلٍ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا اجْتَرَمْتُهُ ، مُسْتَجِيراً بِصَفْحِكَ ، لَائِذاً بِرَحْمَتِكَ ، مُوقِناً أَنَّهُ لَا يُجِيرُنِي مِنْكَ مُجِيرٌ ، وَ لَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ مَانِعٌ .
Here I am, then, before Thee, despised, lowly, humble, abject, fearful, confessing the dreadful sins with which I am burdenedand the great offenses that I have committed, seeking sanctuary in Thy forgiveness, asking shelter in Thy mercy, and certain that no sanctuary-giver will give me sanctuary from Theeand no withholder will hold me back from Thee.
فَعُدْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا تَعُودُ بِهِ عَلَى مَنِ اقْتَرَفَ مِنْ تَغَمُّدِكَ ، وَ جُدْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا تَجُودُ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ أَلْقَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ عَفْوِكَ ، وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا لَا يَتَعَاظَمُكَ أَنْ تَمُنَّ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ أَمَّلَكَ مِنْ غُفْرَانِكَ ،
So act kindly toward me, just as Thou actest kindlyby Thy shielding him who commits sins, be munificent toward me, just as Thou art munificentby pardoning him who throws himself before Thee, and show kindness to me, just as it is nothing great for Thee to show kindnessby forgiving him who expectantly hopes in Thee!
وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ نَصِيباً أَنَالُ بِهِ حَظّاً مِنْ رِضْوَانِكَ ، وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي صِفْراً مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُ بِهِ الْمُتَعَبِّدُونَ لَكَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ
Appoint for me in this day an allotment through which I may attaina share of Thy good pleasure, and send me not back destituteof that with which Thy worshipers return from among Thy servants!
وَ إِنِّي وَ إِنْ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ مَا قَدَّمُوهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ فَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ تَوْحِيدَكَ وَ نَفْيَ الْأَضْدَادِ وَ الْأَنْدَادِ وَ الْأَشْبَاهِ عَنْكَ ، وَ أَتَيْتُكَ مِنَ الْأَبْوَابِ الَّتِي أَمَرْتَ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مِنْهَا ، وَ تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِمَا لَا يَقْرُبُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكَ إِلَّا بالتَّقَرُّبِ بِهِ .
Though I have not forwardedthe righteous deeds which they have forwarded, I have forwarded the profession of Thy Unityand the negation from Theeof opposites, rivals, and likenesses, I have come to Thee by the gatewaysby which Thou hast commandedthat people come, and I have sought nearness to Thee through that without seeking nearness through which none gains nearness to Thee.
ثُمَّ أَتْبَعْتُ ذَلِكَ بِالْإِنَابَةِ إِلَيْكَ ، وَ التَّذَلُّلِ وَ الِاسْتِكَانَةِ لَكَ ، وَ حُسْنِ الظَّنِّ بِكَ ، وَ الثِّقَةِ بِمَا عِنْدَكَ ، وَ شَفَعْتُهُ بِرَجَائِكَ الَّذِي قَلَّ مَا يَخِيبُ عَلَيْهِ رَاجِيكَ .
Then I followed all this with repeated turning toward Thee, lowliness and abasement before Thee, good opinion of Thee, and trust in what is with Thee; and to that I coupled hope in Thee, since the one who hopes in Theeis seldom disappointed!
وَ سَأَلْتُكَ مَسْأَلَةَ الْحَقِيرِ الذَّلِيلِ الْبَائِسِ الْفَقِيرِ الْخَائِفِ الْمُسْتَجِيرِ ، وَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ خِيفَةً وَ تَضَرُّعاً وَ تَعَوُّذاً وَ تَلَوُّذاً ، لَا مُسْتَطِيلًا بِتَكَبُّرِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ، وَ لَا مُتَعَالِياً بِدَالَّةِ الْمُطِيعِينَ ، وَ لَا مُسْتَطِيلًا بِشَفَاعَةِ الشَّافِعِينَ .
I asked Thee with the asking of onevile, lowly, pitiful, poor, fearful, seeking sanctuary; all that in fear and pleadingseeking refuge and asking shelter, not presumptuous through the pride of the proud, nor exalting myself with the boldness of the obedient, nor presumptuous of the intercession of the interceders.
وَ أَنَا بَعْدُ أَقَلُّ الْأَقَلِّينَ ، وَ أَذَلُّ الْأَذَلِّينَ ، وَ مِثْلُ الذَّرَّةِ أَوْ دُونَهَا ، فَيَا مَنْ لَمْ يُعَاجِلِ الْمُسِيئِينَ ، وَ لَا يَنْدَهُ الْمُتْرَفِينَ ، وَ يَا مَنْ يَمُنُّ بِإِقَالَةِ الْعَاثِرِينَ ، وَ يَتَفَضَّلُ بِإِنْظَارِ الْخَاطِئِينَ .
For I am still the least of the leastand the lowliest of the lowly, like a dust mote or less! O He who does not hurry the evildoersnor restrain those living in ease! O He who shows kindness through releasing the stumblersand gratuitous bounty through respiting the offenders!
أَنَا الْمُسِيءُ الْمُعْتَرِفُ الْخَاطِئُ الْعَاثِرُ .
I am the evildoer, the confessor, the offender, the stumbler!
أَنَا الَّذِي أَقْدَمَ عَلَيْكَ مُجْتَرِئاً .
I am he who was audacious toward Thee as one insolent!
أَنَا الَّذِي عَصَاكَ مُتَعَمِّداً .
I am he who disobeyed Thee with forethought!
أَنَا الَّذِي اسْتَخْفَى مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ بَارَزَكَ .
I am he who hid myself from Thy servantsand blatantly showed myself to Thee!
أَنَا الَّذِي هَابَ عِبَادَكَ وَ أَمِنَكَ .
I am he who was awed by Thy servantsand felt secure from Thee!
أَنَا الَّذِي لَمْ يَرْهَبْ سَطْوَتَكَ ، وَ لَمْ يَخَفْ بَأْسَكَ .
I am he who dreaded not Thy penaltyand feared not Thy severity!
أَنَا الْجَانِي عَلَى نَفْسِهِ
I am the offender against himself!
أَنَا الْمُرْتَهَنُ بِبَلِيَّتِهِ .
أَنَا القَلِيلُ الْحَيَاءِ .
I am short in shame!
أَنَا الطَّوِيلُ الْعَنَاءِ .
I am long in suffering!
بِحَقِّ مَنِ انْتَجَبْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَ بِمَنِ اصْطَفَيْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ ، بِحَقِّ مَنِ اخْتَرْتَ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ ، وَ مَنِ اجْتَبَيْتَ لِشَأْنِكَ ، بِحَقِّ مَنْ وَصَلْتَ طَاعَتَهُ بِطَاعَتِكَ ، وَ مَنْ جَعَلْتَ مَعْصِيَتَهُ كَمَعْصِيَتِكَ ، بِحَقِّ مَنْ قَرَنْتَ مُوَالَاتَهُ بِمُوَالَاتِكَ ، وَ مَنْ نُطْتَ مُعَادَاتَهُ بِمُعَادَاتِكَ ، تَغَمَّدْنِي فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا بِمَا تَتَغَمَّدُ بِهِ مَنْ جَارَ إِلَيْكَ مُتَنَصِّلًا ، وَ عَاذَ بِاسْتِغْفَارِكَ تَائِباً .
By the right of him whom Thou hast distinguished among Thy creationand by him whom Thou hast chosenfor Thyself! By the right of him whom Thou hast selected from among Thy creaturesand by him whom Thou hast pickedfor Thy task! By the right of him the obeying of whom Thou hast joined to obeying Thee, and by him the disobeying of whom Thou hast made like disobeying Thee! And by the right of him whose friendship Thou hast bound to Thy friendshipand by him whose enmity Thou hast linked to Thine enmity! Shield me in this day of mine, by that through which Thou shieldesthim who prays fervently to Thee while disavowingand him who seeks refuge in Thy forgivenesswhile repenting!
وَ تَوَلَّنِي بِمَا تَتَوَلَّى بِهِ أَهْلَ طَاعَتِكَ وَ الزُّلْفَى لَدَيْكَ وَ الْمَكَانَةِ مِنْكَ .
Attend to me with that through which Thou attendest to the people ofobedience toward Thee, proximity to Thee, and rank with Thee!
وَ تَوَحَّدْنِي بِمَا تَتَوَحَّدُ بِهِ مَنْ وَفَى بِعَهْدِكَ ، وَ أَتْعَبَ نَفْسَهُ فِي ذَاتِكَ ، وَ أَجْهَدَهَا فِي مَرْضَاتِكَ .
Single me out, as Thou singlest him out whofulfils Thy covenant, fatigues himself for Thy sake alone, and exerts himself in Thy good pleasure!
وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِتَفْرِيطِي فِي جَنْبِكَ ، وَ تَعَدِّي طَوْرِي فِي حُدُودِكَ ، وَ مُجَاوَزَةِ أَحْكَامِكَ .
Take me not to task for my neglect in respect to Thee, my transgressing the limit in Thy bounds, and stepping outside Thy ordinances!
وَ لَا تَسْتَدْرِجْنِي بِإِمْلَائِكَ لِي اسْتِدْرَاجَ مَنْ مَنَعَنِي خَيْرَ مَا عِنْدَهُ وَ لَمْ يَشْرَكْكَ فِي حُلُولِ نِعْمَتِهِ بِي .
Draw me not on little by little by granting me a respite, like the drawing on little by littleof him who withholds from me the good he hasby not sharing with Thee in letting favour down upon me!
وَ نَبِّهْنِي مِنْ رَقْدَةِ الْغَافِلِينَ ، وَ سِنَةِ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ، وَ نَعْسَةِ الْمَخْذُولِينَ
Arouse me fromthe sleep of the heedless, the slumber of the prodigal, and the dozing of the forsaken!
وَ خُذْ بِقَلْبِي إِلَى مَا اسْتَعْمَلْتَ بِهِ الْقَانِتِينَ ، وَ اسْتَعْبَدْتَ بِهِ الْمُتَعَبِّدِينَ ، وَ اسْتَنْقَذْتَ بِهِ الْمُتَهَاوِنِينَ .
Take my heart to that in which Thou hastemployed the devout, enthralled the worshipers, and rescued the remiss!
وَ أَعِذْنِي مِمَّا يُبَاعِدُنِي عَنْكَ ، وَ يَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ حَظِّي مِنْكَ ، وَ يَصُدُّنِي عَمَّا أُحَاوِلُ لَدَيْكَ
Give me refuge from that which willkeep me far from Thee, come between me and my share from Thee, and bar me from that which I strive for in Thee!
وَ سَهِّلْ لِي مَسْلَكَ الْخَيْرَاتِ إِلَيْكَ ، وَ الْمُسَابَقَةَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرْتَ ، وَ الْمُشَاحَّةَ فِيهَا عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتَ .
Make easy for methe road of good deeds toward Thee, racing to them from where Thou hast commanded, and coveting them as Thou desirest!
وَ لَا تَمْحَقْنِي فِيمَن تَمْحَقُ مِنَ الْمُسْتَخِفِّينَ بِمَا أَوْعَدْتَ
Efface me not along with those whom Thou effacestfor thinking lightly of what Thou hast promised!
وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي مَعَ مَنْ تُهْلِكُ مِنَ الْمُتَعَرِّضِينَ لِمَقْتِكَ
Destroy me not with those whom Thou destroyestfor exposing themselves to Thy hate!
وَ لَا تُتَبِّرْنِي فِيمَنْ تُتَبِّرُ مِنَ الْمُنْحَرِفِينَ عَنْ سُبُلِكَ
Annihilate me not among those whom Thou annihilatestfor deviating from Thy roads!
وَ نَجِّنِي مِنْ غَمَرَاتِ الْفِتْنَةِ ، وَ خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ لَهَوَاتِ الْبَلْوَى ، وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنْ أَخْذِ الْإِمْلَاءِ .
Deliver me from the floods of trial, save me from the gullets of affliction, and grant me sanctuary from being seized by respite!
وَ حُلْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ عَدُوٍّ يُضِلُّنِي ، وَ هَوًى يُوبِقُنِي ، وَ مَنْقَصَةٍ تَرْهَقُنِي
Come between me and the enemy who misguides me, the caprice which ruins me, and the failing which overcomes me!
وَ لَا تُعْرِضْ عَنِّي إِعْرَاضَ مَنْ لَا تَرْضَى عَنْهُ بَعْدَ غَضَبِكَ
Turn not away from me with the turning away in wrath from one with whom Thou art not pleased!
وَ لَا تُؤْيِسْنِي مِنَ الْأَمَلِ فِيكَ فَيَغْلِبَ عَلَيَّ الْقُنُوطُ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ
Let me not lose heart in expecting from Thee, lest I be overcome by despair of Thy mercy!
وَ لَا تَمْنَحْنِي بِمَا لَا طَاقَةَ لِي بِهِ فَتَبْهَظَنِي مِمَّا تُحَمِّلُنِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلِ مَحَبَّتِكَ .
Grant me not that which I cannot endure, lest Thou weighest me down with the surplus of Thy love which Thou loadest upon me!
وَ لَا تُرْسِلْنِي مِنْ يَدِكَ إِرْسَالَ مَنْ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ ، وَ لَا حَاجَةَ بِكَ إِلَيْهِ ، وَ لَا إِنَابَةَ لَهُ
Send me not from Thy hand, the sending of him who possesses no good, toward whom Thou hast no need, and who turns not back [to Thee]!
وَ لَا تَرْمِ بِي رَمْيَ مَنْ سَقَطَ مِنْ عَيْنِ رِعَايَتِكَ ، وَ مَنِ اشْتَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْخِزْيُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ ، بَلْ خُذْ بِيَدِي مِنْ سَقْطَةِ الْمُتَرَدِّينَ ، وَ وَهْلَةِ الْمُتَعَسِّفِينَ ، وَ زَلَّةِ الْمَغْرُورِينَ ، وَ وَرْطَةِ الْهَالِكِينَ .
Cast me not with the casting of him who hasfallen from the eye of Thy regardand been wrapped in degradation from Thee! Rather take my hand [and save me] fromthe falling of the stumblers, the disquiet of the deviators, the slip of those deluded, and the plight of the perishers!
وَ عَافِنِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَيْتَ بِهِ طَبَقَاتِ عَبِيدِكَ وَ إِمَائِكَ ، وَ بَلِّغْنِي مَبَالِغَ مَنْ عُنِيتَ بِهِ ، وَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُ ، فَأَعَشْتَهُ حَمِيداً ، وَ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ سَعِيداً
Release me from that with which Thou hast afflictedthe ranks of Thy servants and handmaidsand make me reach the utmost degrees of himabout whom Thou art concerned, towards whom Thou showest favour, and with whom Thou art pleased, so that Thou lettest him live as one praiseworthyand takest him to Thee as one felicitous!
وَ طَوِّقْنِي طَوْقَ الْإِقْلَاعِ عَمَّا يُحْبِطُ الْحَسَنَاتِ ، وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْبَرَكَاتِ
Collar me with the collar of abstaining from that whichmakes good deeds failand takes away blessings!
وَ أَشْعِرْ قَلْبِيَ الِازْدِجَارَ عَنْ قَبَائِحِ السَّيِّئَاتِ ، وَ فَوَاضِحِ الْحَوْبَاتِ .
Impart to my heart restraint beforeugly works of eviland disgraceful misdeeds!
وَ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي بِمَا لَا أُدْرِكُهُ إِلَّا بِكَ عَمَّا لَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي غَيْرُهُ
Divert me notby that which I cannot reach except through Thee from doing that which alone makes Thee pleased with me!
وَ انْزِعْ مِنْ قَلْبِي حُبَّ دُنْيَا دَنِيَّةٍ تَنْهَى عَمَّا عِنْدَكَ ، وَ تَصُدُّ عَنِ ابْتِغَاءِ الْوَسِيلَةِ إِلَيْكَ ، وَ تُذْهِلُ عَنِ التَّقَرُّبِ مِنْكَ .
Root out from my heart the love of this vile world, which keeps from everything which is with Thee, bars from seeking the mediation to Thee, and distracts from striving for nearness to Thee!
وَ زَيِّنْ لِيَ التَّفَرُّدَ بِمُنَاجَاتِكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ
Embellish for me solitudein prayer whispered to Thee by night and by day!
وَ هَبْ لِي عِصْمَةً تُدْنِينِي مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ ، وَ تَقْطَعُنِي عَنْ رُكُوبِ مَحَارِمِكَ ، وَ تَفُكَّنِي مِنْ أَسْرِ الْعَظَائِمِ .
Give me a preservation which willbring me close to dread of Thee, cut me off from committing things made unlawful by Thee, and spare me from captivation by dreadful sins!
وَ هَبْ لِيَ التَّطْهِيرَ مِنْ دَنَسِ الْعِصْيَانِ ، وَ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي دَرَنَ الْخَطَايَا ، وَ سَرْبِلْنِي بِسِرْبَالِ عَافِيَتِكَ ، وَ رَدِّنِي رِدَاءَ مُعَافَاتِكَ ، وَ جَلِّلْنِي سَوَابِغَ نَعْمَائِكَ ، وَ ظَاهِرْ لَدَيَّ فَضْلَكَ وَ طَوْلَكَ
Give me purification from the defilement of disobedience, take away from me the filth of offenses, dress me in the dress of Thy well-being, cloak me in the cloak of Thy release, wrap me in Thy ample favours, and clothe me in Thy bounty and Thy graciousness!
وَ أَيِّدْنِي بِتَوْفِيقِكَ وَ تَسْدِيدِكَ ، وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى صَالِحِ النِّيَّةِ ، وَ مَرْضِيِّ الْقَوْلِ ، وَ مُسْتَحْسَنِ الْعَمَلِ ، وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى حَوْلِي وَ قُوَّتِي دُونَ حَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ .
Strengthen me with Thy giving successand Thy pointing the right way, help me toward righteous intention, pleasing words, and approved works, and entrust me not to my force and my strengthin place of Thy force and Thy strength!
وَ لَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُنِي لِلِقَائِكَ ، وَ لَا تَفْضَحْنِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ ، وَ لَا تُنْسِنِي ذِكْرَكَ ، وَ لَا تُذْهِبْ عَنِّي شُكْرَكَ ، بَلْ أَلْزِمْنِيهِ فِي أَحْوَالِ السَّهْوِ عِنْدَ غَفَلَاتِ الْجَاهِلِينَ لِآلْائِكَ ، وَ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أُثْنِيَ بِمَا أَوْلَيْتَنِيهِ ، وَ أَعْتَرِفَ بِمَا أَسْدَيْتَهُ إِلَيَّ .
Degrade me not on the day Thou raisest me up to meet Thee, disgrace me not before Thy friends, make me not forget remembering Thee, take not away from me thanking Thee, but enjoin it upon me in states of inattentionwhen the ignorant are heedless of Thy boons, and inspire me tolaud what Thou hast done for meand confess to what Thou hast conferred upon me!
وَ اجْعَلْ رَغْبَتِي إِلَيْكَ فَوْقَ رَغْبَةِ الرَّاغِبِينَ ، وَ حَمْدِي إِيَّاكَ فَوْقَ حَمْدِ الْحَامِدِينَ
Place my beseeching Thee above the beseeching of the beseechersand my praise of Thee above the praise of the praisers!
وَ لَا تَخْذُلْنِي عِنْدَ فَاقَتِي إِلَيْكَ ، وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي بِمَا أَسْدَيْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ ، وَ لَا تَجْبَهْنِي بِمَا جَبَهْتَ بِهِ الْمُعَانِدِينَ لَكَ ، فَإِنِّي لَكَ مُسَلِّمٌ ، أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْحُجَّةَ لَكَ ، وَ أَنَّكَ أَوْلَى بِالْفَضْلِ ، وَ أَعْوَدُ بِالْإِحْسَانِ ، وَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى ، وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ ، وَ أَنَّكَ بِأَنْ تَعْفُوَ أَوْلَى مِنْكَ بِأَنْ تُعَاقِبَ ، وَ أَنَّكَ بِأَنْ تَسْتُرَ أَقْرَبُ مِنْكَ إِلَى أَنْ تَشْهَرَ .
Abandon me not with my neediness for Thee, destroy me not for what I have done for Thee, and slap not my brow with that with which Thou slappest the brow of those who contend with Thee, for I am submitted to Thee. I know that the argument is Thine, that Thou art closest to bounty, most accustomed to beneficence, worthy of reverent fear, and worthy of forgiveness, that Thou art closer to pardoning than to punishing, and that Thou art nearer to covering over than to making notorious!
فَأَحْيِنِي حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً تَنْتَظِمُ بِمَا أُرِيدُ ، وَ تَبْلُغُ مَا أُحِبُّ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا آتِي مَا تَكْرَهُ ، وَ لَا أَرْتَكِبُ مَا نَهَيْتَ عَنْهُ ، وَ أَمِتْنِي مِيتَةَ مَنْ يَسْعَى نُورُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ .
Let me live an agreeable lifethat will tie together what I wantand reach what I lovewhile I not bring what Thou dislikestand not commit what Thou hast prohibited; and make me die the death of himwhose light runs before him and on his right hand!
وَ ذَلِّلْنِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ ، وَ أَعِزَّنِي عِنْدَ خَلْقِكَ ، وَ ضَعْنِي إِذَا خَلَوْتُ بِكَ ، وَ ارْفَعْنِي بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ ، وَ أَغْنِنِي عَمَّنْ هُوَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِّي ، وَ زِدْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَاقَةً وَ فَقْراً .
Abase me before Thyselfand exalt me before Thy creatures, lower me when I am alone with Theeand raise me among Thy servants, free me from need for him who has no need of meand increase me in neediness and poverty toward Thee!
وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ ، وَ مِنْ حُلُولِ الْبَلَاءِ ، وَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ الْعَنَاءِ ، تَغَمَّدْنِي فِيمَا اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي بِمَا يَتَغَمَّدُ بِهِ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى الْبَطْشِ لَوْ لَا حِلْمُهُ ، وَ الْآخِذُ عَلَى الْجَرِيرَةِ لَوْ لَا أَنَاتُهُ
Give me refuge fromthe gloating of enemies, the arrival of affliction, lowliness and suffering! Shield me in what Thou seest from me, the shielding of him whowould have power over violencehad he no clemency, and would seize for misdeedshad he no lack of haste!
وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ بِقَوْمٍ فِتْنَةً أَوْ سُوءاً فَنَجِّنِي مِنْهَا لِوَاذاً بِكَ ، وَ إِذْ لَمْ تُقِمْنِي مَقَامَ فَضِيحَةٍ فِي دُنْيَاكَ فَلَا تُقِمْنِي مِثْلَهُ فِي آخِرَتِكَ
When Thou desirest for a people a trial or an evil, deliver me from it, for I seek Thy shelter; and since Thou hast not stood me in the station of disgrace in this world of Thine, stand me not in such a station in the next world of Thine!
وَ اشْفَعْ لِي أَوَائِلَ مِنَنِكَ بِأَوَاخِرِهَا ، وَ قَدِيمَ فَوَائِدِكَ بِحَوَادِثِهَا ، وَ لَا تَمْدُدْ لِي مَدّاً يَقْسُو مَعَهُ قَلْبِي ، وَ لَا تَقْرَعْنِي قَارِعَةً يَذْهَبُ لَهَا بَهَائِي ، وَ لَا تَسُمْنِي خَسِيسَةً يَصْغُرُ لَهَا قَدْرِي وَ لَا نَقِيصَةً يُجْهَلُ مِنْ أَجْلِهَا مَكَانِي .
Couple for me the beginnings of Thy kindnesses with their endsand the ancient of Thy benefits with the freshly risen! Prolong not my term with a prolonging through which my heart will harden! Strike me not with a strikingthat will take away my radiance! Visit me not witha meanness that will diminish my worthor a deficiency that will keep my rank unknown!
وَ لَا تَرُعْنِي رَوْعَةً أُبْلِسُ بِهَا ، وَ لَا خِيفَةً أُوجِسُ دُونَهَا ، اجْعَلْ هَيْبَتِي فِي وَعِيدِكَ ، وَ حَذَرِي مِنْ إِعْذَارِكَ وَ إِنْذَارِكَ ، وَ رَهْبَتِي عِنْد تِلَاوَةِ آيَاتِكَ .
Frighten me not with a fright by which I will despairor a terror through which I will dread, but make me stand in awe of Thy threat, take precautions against Thy leaving no excuses42and Thy warning, and tremble at the recitation of Thy verses!
وَ اعْمُرْ لَيْلِي بِإِيقَاظِي فِيهِ لِعِبَادَتِكَ ، وَ تَفَرُّدِي بِالتَّهَجُّدِ لَكَ ، وَ تَجَرُّدِي بِسُكُونِي إِلَيْكَ ، وَ إِنْزَالِ حَوَائِجِي بِكَ ، وَ مُنَازَلَتِي إِيَّاكَ فِي فَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِي مِنْ نَارِكَ ، وَ إِجَارَتِي مِمَّا فِيهِ أَهْلُهَا مِنْ عَذَابِكَ .
Fill my night with life by keeping me awake therein for worshipping Thee, solitude with vigil for Thee, exclusive devotion to reliance upon Thee, setting my needs before Thee, and imploring that Thou wiltset my neck free from the Fireand grant me sanctuary from Thy chastisement, within which its inhabitants dwell!
وَ لَا تَذَرْنِي فِي طُغْيَانِي عَامِهاً ، وَ لَا فِي غَمْرَتِي سَاهِياً حَتَّى حِينٍ ، وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي عِظَةً لِمَنِ اتَّعَظَ ، وَ لَا نَكَالًا لِمَنِ اعْتَبَرَ ، وَ لَا فِتْنَةً لِمَنْ نَظَرَ ، وَ لَا تَمْكُرْ بِي فِيمَنْ تَمْكُرُ بِهِ ، وَ لَا تَسْتَبْدِلْ بِي غَيْرِي ، وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ لِي اسْماً ، وَ لَا تُبَدِّلْ لِي جِسْماً ، وَ لَا تَتَّخِذْنِي هُزُواً لِخَلْقِكَ ، وَ لَا سُخْرِيّاً لَكَ ، وَ لَا تَبَعاً إِلَّا لِمَرْضَاتِكَ ، وَ لَا مُمْتَهَناً إِلَّا بِالِانْتِقَامِ لَكَ
Leave me not blindly wandering in my insolence43or inattentive in my perplexity for a time, make me notan admonition to him who takes admonishment, a punishment exemplary for him who takes heed, a trial for him who observes, devise not against me along with those against whom Thou devisest, replace me not with another, change not my name, transform not my body, appoint me nota mockery for Thy creatures, a laughing-stock for Thyself, a follower of anything but Thy good pleasure, a menial servant for anything but avenging Thee!
وَ أَوْجِدْنِي بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ ، وَ حَلَاوَةَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ رَوْحِكَ وَ رَيْحَانِكَ ، وَ جَنَّةِ نَعِيمِكَ ، وَ أَذِقْنِي طَعْمَ الْفَرَاغِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ بِسَعَةٍ مِنْ سَعَتِكَ ، وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ فِيمَا يُزْلِفُ لَدَيْكَ وَ عِنْدَكَ ، وَ أَتْحِفْنِي بِتُحْفَةٍ مِنْ تُحَفَاتِكَ .
Let me find the coolness of Thy pardonand the sweetness of Thy mercy, Thy repose, Thy ease, and the garden of Thy bliss! Let me taste, through some of Thy boundless plenty, the flavour of being free for what Thou lovestand striving in what brings about proximity with Thee and to Thee, and give me a gift from among Thy gifts!
وَ اجْعَلْ تِجَارَتِي رَابِحَةً ، وَ كَرَّتِي غَيْرَ خَاسِرَةٍ ، وَ أَخِفْنِي مَقَامَكَ ، وَ شَوِّقْنِي لِقَاءَكَ ، وَ تُبْ عَلَيَّ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً لَا تُبْقِ مَعَهَا ذُنُوباً صَغِيرَةً وَ لَا كَبِيرَةً ، وَ لَا تَذَرْ مَعَهَا عَلَانِيَةً وَ لَا سَرِيرَةً .
Make my commerce profitable48and my return without loss, fill me with fear of Thy station, make me yearn for the meeting with Thee, and allow me to repent with an unswerving repentance along with which Thou lettest no sins remain, small or large, and leavest no wrongs, open or secret!
وَ انْزِعِ الْغِلَّ مِنْ صَدْرِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَ اعْطِفْ بِقَلْبِي عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ ، وَ كُنْ لِي كَمَا تَكُونُ لِلصَّالِحِينَ ، وَ حَلِّنِي حِلْيَةَ الْمُتَّقِينَ ، وَ اجْعَلْ لِي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ ، وَ ذِكْراً نَامِياً فِي الْآخِرِينَ ، وَ وَافِ بِي عَرْصَةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ .
Root out rancour toward the faithful from my breast, bend my heart toward the humble, be toward me as Thou art toward the righteous, adorn me with the adornment of the godfearing, appoint for mea goodly report51among those yet to comeand a growing remembrance among the later folk, and take me to the plain of those who came first!
وَ تَمِّمْ سُبُوغَ نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ ، وَ ظَاهِرْ كَرَامَاتِهَا لَدَيَّ ، امْلَأْ مِنْ فَوَائِدِكَ يَدِي ، وَ سُقْ كَرَائِمَ مَوَاهِبِكَ إِلَيَّ ، وَ جَاوِرْ بِيَ الْأَطْيَبِينَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ فِي الْجِنَانِ الَّتِي زَيَّنْتَهَا لِأَصْفِيَائِكَ ، وَ جَلِّلْنِي شَرَائِفَ نِحَلِكَ فِي الْمَقَامَاتِ الْمُعَدَّةِ لِأَحِبَّائِكَ .
Complete the lavishness of Thy favour upon me, clothe me in its repeated generosities, fill my hand with Thy benefits, drive Thy generous gifts to me, make me the neighbour of the best of Thy friendsin the Gardens which Thou hast adorned for Thy chosen, and wrap me in Thy noble presentsin the stations prepared for Thy beloveds!
وَ اجْعَلْ لِي عِنْدَكَ مَقِيلًا آوِي إِلَيْهِ مُطْمَئِنّاً ، وَ مَثَابَةً أَتَبَوَّؤُهَا ، وَ أَقَرُّ عَيْناً ، وَ لَا تُقَايِسْنِي بِعَظِيمَاتِ الْجَرَائِرِ ، وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ، وَ أَزِلْ عَنِّي كُلَّ شَكٍّ وَ شُبْهَةٍ ، وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي الْحَقِّ طَرِيقاً مِنْ كُلِّ رَحْمَةٍ ، وَ أَجْزِلْ لِي قِسَمَ الْمَوَاهِبِ مِنْ نَوَالِكَ ، وَ وَفِّرْ عَلَيَّ حُظُوظَ الْإِحْسَانِ مِنْ إِفْضَالِكَ .
Appoint for me a resting place with Theewhere I may seek haven in serenity, and a resort to which I may revertand rest my eyes, weigh not against me my dreadful misdeeds, destroy me noton the day the secrets are tried, eliminate from me every doubt and uncertainty, appoint for me a way in the truth from every mercy, make plentiful for me the portions of gifts from Thy granting of awards, and fill out for me the shares of beneficence from Thy bestowal of bounty!
وَ اجْعَلْ قَلْبِي وَاثِقاً بِمَا عِنْدَكَ ، وَ هَمِّي مُسْتَفْرَغاً لِمَا هُوَ لَكَ ، وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِمَا تَسْتَعْمِلُ بِهِ خَالِصَتَكَ ، وَ أَشْرِبْ قَلْبِي عِنْدَ ذُهُولِ الْعُقُولِ طَاعَتَكَ ، وَ اجْمَعْ لِيَ الْغِنَى وَ الْعَفَافَ وَ الدَّعَةَ وَ الْمُعَافَاةَ وَ الصِّحَّةَ وَ السَّعَةَ وَ الطُّمَأْنِينَةَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ .
Make my heart trust in what is with Theeand my concern free for what is Thine, employ me in that in which Thou employest Thy pure friends, drench my heart with Thy obedience when intellects are distracted, and combine within meindependence, continence, ease, release, health, plenty, tranquillity, and well being!
وَ لَا تُحْبِطْ حَسَنَاتِي بِمَا يَشُوبُهَا مِنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ ، وَ لَا خَلَوَاتِي بِمَا يَعْرِضُ لِي مِنْ نَزَغَاتِ فِتْنَتِكَ ، وَ صُنْ وَجْهِي عَنِ الطَّلَبِ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ ، وَ ذُبَّنِي عَنِ الْتِمَاسِ مَا عِنْدَ الْفَاسِقِينَ .
Make not fail my good deeds through my disobedience that stains themor my private times of worship through the instigations of Thy trial! Safeguard my face from asking from anyone in the world, and drive me far from beggingfor that which is with the ungodly!
وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي لِلظَّالِمِينَ ظَهِيراً ، وَ لَا لَهُمْ عَلَى مَحْوِ كِتَابِكَ يَداً وَ نَصِيراً ، وَ حُطْنِي مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَعْلَمُ حِيَاطَةً تَقِينِي بِهَا ، وَ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ تَوْبَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ رَأْفَتِكَ وَ رِزْقِكَ الْوَاسِعِ ، إِنِّي إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الرَّاغِبِينَ ، وَ أَتْمِمْ لِي إِنْعَامَكَ ، إِنَّكَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْعِمِينَ
Make me not an aid to the wrongdoers, nor their hand and helper in erasing Thy Book! Defend me whence I know not with a defense through which Thou protectest me! Open toward me the gates of Thy repentance, Thy mercy, Thy clemency, and Thy boundless provision! Surely I am one of those who beseech Thee! And complete Thy favour toward me! Surely Thou art the best of those who show favour!
وَ اجْعَلْ بَاقِيَ عُمُرِي فِي الْحَجِّ وَ الْعُمْرَةِ ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِكَ ، يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ ، وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبَدَ الْآبِدِينَ .
Place the rest of my life in thehajjand the'umraseeking Thy face, O Lord of the worlds! And may God bless Muhammad and his Household, the good, the pure, and peace be upon him and them always and forever!
