Translation

O my means in troubles! O my Companion in hardships! O the Provider of my amenities! O the utmost of my desires! It is You Who conceals my defects, relieves my apprehensions, and overlooks my slips. So, (please do) forgive my sin. O Allah, I pray You for the submission of faith before I encounter the submission of humiliation in Hellfire. O One!: O Absolute! O Besought of all! O He Who neither begets nor is He begotten,

Translation

and there is none like to Him O He Who confers upon one who beseeches Him on account of His sympathy and mercy, and initially grants welfare to those who have not asked for it, on account of His liberality and generosity! I beseech You in the name of Your endless generosity to bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad and bestow upon me with mercy—vast and comprehensive— by which I can win the welfare of this world as well as the Next World. O Allah, I implore for Your forgiveness of the sins from which I had repented to You but I committed them again. I implore for Your forgiveness of my righteous acts that although I intended them purely for Your sake, some purposes that are not intended for You intruded upon them.

Translation

O Allah, (please do) send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad and pardon my transgression and my offenses, in the name of Your forbearance and magnanimity. O All-generous! O He Whose beseecher will never be disappointed! O He Whose His rewards will never run out! O He Who is so Elevated that nothing can ever be higher than He is and Who is so Nigh that nothing can ever be closer that He is! (Please do) send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad and have mercy upon me, O He Who split asunder the sea for (Prophet) Moses, this very night, this very night, this very night, this very hour, this very hour, this very hour.

Translation

O Allah, (please do) purify my heart from hypocrisy, my acts from showing off, my tongue from telling untruths, and my eye from treason. You verily know the stealthy looks and that which the breasts conceal. O my Lord, this is the manner of him who seeks Your protection from Hellfire. This is the manner of him who seeks Your shelter against Hellfire. This is the manner of him who seeks Your aid against Hellfire. This is the manner of him who flees to You from Hellfire. This is the manner of him who returns to You carrying his offenses, confessing of his sins, and repenting to You—his Lord.

Translation

This is the manner of the miserable and poor. This is the manner of the fearful and seeker of Your refuge. This is the manner of the aggrieved and distressed. This is the manner of the depressing and gloomy. This is the manner of the stranger and drowned. This is the manner of the alienated and frightened. This is the manner of him who cannot find anyone save You to forgive his sins, who cannot find anyone save You to give him power, and who cannot find anyone save You to relieve his grief. O Allah! O All-generous! (please) do not burn my face with Hellfire after I have prostrated myself before You and I have soiled my face for You. Of course, this is not a personal favor that I have done to myself;

O Lord… upon my weakness, upon my confusedness, upon the softness of my skin, upon the separation of my organs, upon the dispersal of my flesh, body, and corpse, upon my loneliness and lonesomeness in my grave, and upon my anxiety at the least misfortune that inflicts me. I beseech You, O Lord, for delight and happiness on the Day of regret and remorse. (Please do) whiten my face, O Lord, when some faces will be blackened.

(Please do) secure me against the Gravest Horror. I beseech You for good tidings when hearts and sights shall be turned about and for good tidings when I depart this life. All praise be to Allah Whom I hope for supporting me in my life and Whom I want to act as my Provision on the day of my neediness. All praise be to Allah Whom alone do I beseech and I never beseech anyone rather than Him; and even if I beseech anyone else, he will definitely let me down. All praise be to Allah for Whom I hope and I never hope for anyone rather than Him; and even if I hope for anyone else, he will definitely disappoint me.
