Translation

O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy, which embraces all things; And by Your strength, through which You dominatest all things, And toward which all things are humble And before which all things are lowly; And by Your invincibility through which You overwhelmest all things, And by Your might, which nothing can resist; And by Your tremendousness, which has filled all things; by Your force, which towers over all things; And by Your face, which subsists after the annihilation of all things, And by Your Names, which have filled the foundations of all things; And by Your knowledge, which encompasses all things; And by the light of Your face, through which all things are illumined!

O Allah, forgive me those sins which draw down adversities! O Allah, forgive me those sins which alter blessings! O Allah forgive me those sins which hold back supplication! O Allah forgive me those sins which cut down the hopes! O Allah, forgive me those sins which draw down tribulation! O Allah, forgive me every sin I have committed and every mistake I have made! O Allah, verily I seek nearness to You through remembrance of You, And I seek intercession from You with Yourself,

And I ask You through Your munificence to bring me near to Your proximity, And to provide me with gratitude toward You And to inspire me with Your remembrance. O Allah, verily I ask You with the asking of a submissive, abased and lowly man to show me forbearance, to have mercy on me And to make me satisfied and content with Your appointment and [make me] humble in every state. O Allah, I ask You the question of one whose indigence is extreme, And who has stated to You in difficulties his need And whose desire for what is with You has become great. O Allah, Your force is tremendous, Your place is lofty, And Your plan is hidden, Your command is manifest, And Your domination is overwhelming, Your power is unhindered And escape from Your governance is impossible.

And how many ordeals You hast repelled! And how much beautiful praise, for which I was unworthy, You hast spread abroad! O Allah, my tribulation is tremendous, And my bad state is excessive, And my acts are inadequate, And my fetters have tied me down, And my far-fetched hopes have held me back from my gain And this world with its delusions, my own soul with its offences and my delay have deceived me. O my Master! So I ask You by Your might not to let my evil works and acts veil my supplication from You, And not to disgrace me through the hidden things You knowest of my secrets And not to hasten me to punishment for what I have done in private: My evil acts in secrecy and my misdeeds

My God and my Lord! Have I any but You from whom to ask removal of my affliction and regard for my affairs! My God and my Protector! You put into effect through me a decree in which I followed the caprice of my own soul And [I] did not remain wary of adorning my enemy. So he deluded me through my soul's caprice and therein destiny favoured him So, in what was put into effect through me in that situation, I transgressed some of Your statutes And disobeyed some of Your commands. So Thine is the argument against me in all of that I have no argument in what Your destiny put into effect through me therein

O You who gave rise to my creation, to the remembrance of me, to the nurture of me, to goodness toward me and to nourishment on me, Bestow upon me for the sake of Your having given rise [to me] with generosity and Your previous goodness to me! O Allah, my Master and my Lord! Canst You see Yourself tormenting me with Your fire after I have professed Your Unity And after the knowledge of You my heart has embraced, And the remembrance of You my tongue has constantly mentioned And the love of You to which my mind has clung, And after the sincerity of my confession and my supplication, humble before Your lordship? Far be it from You! You art more generous than that You shouldst squander him whom You hast nurtured, Or banish him whom You hast brought nigh, Or drive away him whom You hast given an abode

Translation

Or submit to tribulation him whom You hast spared and shown mercy. Would that I knew, my Master, My God and my Protector, Whether You wilt give the Fire dominion over faces fallen down prostrate before Your Tremendousness, And over tongues voicing sincerely the profession of Your Unity and giving thanks to You in praise, And over hearts acknowledging Your Divinity through verification, And over minds encompassing knowledge of You until they have become humble And over bodily members speeding to the places of Your worship in obedience and beckoning for Your forgiveness in submission. No such opinion is held of You! Nor has such been reported - thanks to Your bounty — concerning You, O All-generous! My Lord, And You knowest my weakness before a little of this world's tribulations and punishments, And before those ordeals which befall its inhabitants, Even though it is a tribulation and ordeal whose stay is short, whose subsistence is but little and, whose period is but fleeting.

Translation

So how can I endure the tribulations of the next world and the great ordeals that occur within it? For it is a tribulation whose period is long, whose station endures and whose sufferers are given no respite, Since it only occurs as a result of Your wrath, Your vengeance and Your anger, And these cannot be withstood by the heavens and the earth. O Master, so what about me?! For I am Your weak, lowly, base, wretched and miserable slave. My God! My Lord! My Master! My Protector! For which things would I complain to You? And for which of them would I lament and weep? For the pain and severity of chastisement? Or for the length and period of tribulation? So if You takest me to the punishments with Your enemies,

And gatherest me with the people of Your tribulation And separatest me from Your friends and saints, Then suppose, My God, my Master, my Protector and my Lord that I am able to endure Your chastisement, How can I endure separation from You? And suppose that I am able to endure the heat of Your fire, How can I endure not gazing upon Your generosity? Or how can I dwell in the Fire while my hope is Your pardon? So by Your might, my Master and my protector, I swear sincerely, if You leavest me with speech, I will lament to You from the midst of the Fire's inhabitants with lamentation of the hopeful; I will cry to You with the cry of those crying for help; I will weep to You with the weeping of the bereft; And I will call to You, Where art You, O Sponsor of the believers,

Canst You see Yourself — Glory be to You My God, and Thine is the praised — hearing within the Fire the voice of a slave surrendered to You, Imprisoned there because of his violations, Tasting the favour of its torment because of his disobedience, And confined within its levels because of his sin and crime, While he laments to You with the lament of one hopeful for Your mercy, And calls to You with the tongue of those who profess Your Unity And entreats You by Your lordship! My Protector, so how should he remain in the chastisement, while he has hope for Your previous clemency?

Translation

Or how should the Fire cause him pain while he expects Your bounty and mercy? Or how should its flames burn him, while You hearest his voice and seest his place? Or how should its groaning encompass him, while You knowest his weakness? Or how should he be convulsed among its levels, while You knowest his sincerity? Or how should its keepers torture him while he calls out to You, O Lord? Or how should he have hope of Your bounty in freeing him from it, while You abandonest him within it? Far be it from You! That is not what is expected of You, Nor what is well-known of Your bounty, Nor it is similar to the goodness and kindness You hast shown to those who profess Your Unity. So I declare with certainty that were it not for what You hast decreed concerning the chastisement of Your deniers And what You hast foreordained concerning the everlasting home of those who stubbornly resist, You wouldst make the Fire, all of it, coolness and safety,

And You— majestic is Your eulogy— said at the beginning and wernt gracious through kindness as a favour, (What? Is he who has been believer like unto him who has been ungodly?

And You wast Yourself the Watcher over me from behind them, And the Witness of what is hidden from them But through Your mercy You concealed it And through Your bounty You veiled it. [And I ask You] that You bestowest upon me an abundant share of every good You sendest down, Or kindness You conferrest,
