In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

O Allah! Bless Muhammad and his progeny.

Oh God, Oh He who extended the morning's tongue in the speech of its dawning

And dispatched the fragments of the dark night into the gloom of its stammering

And made firm the structure of the turning spheres in the measures of its display

And beamed forth the brightness of the sun through the light of its blazing!

Oh He who demonstrates His Essence by His Essence

And transcends congeneity with His creatures

And is exalted beyond conformity with His qualities!

Oh He who is near to the passing thoughts of opinions

And far from the regards of eyes

And knows what will be before it comes to be!

Oh He who has put me at ease in the cradle of His security and sanctuary

And awakened me to the favors and kindness that He has bestowed upon me

And held me from the claws of evil with His hand and His force!

Bless, oh God, the guide to Thee in the darkest night

And him who, of Thy ropes, clings to the cord of the longest nobility

And him whose glory is evident at the summit of stout shoulders

And whose feet were entrenched in spite of slippery places in ancient time

And [bless] his household, the good, the chosen, the pious

And open for us, oh God, the leaves of morning's door

With the keys of mercy and prosperity!

And clothe me, oh God, with the most excellent robes of guidance and righteousness!

And plant, oh God, through Thy tremendousness, the springs of humility in the watering place of my heart!

And cause to flow, oh God, because of Thy awesomeness, tears of moaning from the corner of my eyes!

And chastise, oh God, the recklessness of my clumsiness with the reins of contentment!

My God, if mercy from Thee does not begin with fair success for me

Then who can take me to Thee upon the evident path?

If Thy deligerateness would turn me over to the guide of hope and wishes

Then who will annul my slips from the stumbles of caprice?

If Thy help should forsake me in the battle with the soul and Satan

Then Thy forsaking will have entrusted me to where there is hardship and deprivation

My God, dost Thou see that I have only come to Thee from the direction of hopes

Or clung to the ends of Thy cords when my sins have driven me from the house of union?

So what an evil mount upon which my soul has mounted - its caprice!

Woe upon it for being seduced by its own opinions and wishes!

And destruction be upon it for its audacity toward its Master and Protector!

My God, I have knocked upon the door of Thy mercy with the hand of my hope

And fled to Thee seeking refuge from my excessive caprice

And fixed the fingers of my love to the ends of Thy cords

So pardon, oh God, the slips and errors I have committed

And release me from the foot-tangling of my robe

For Thou art my Master, my Protector, my Support and my Hope

And Thou art the object of my search and my desire in my ultimate end and stable abode

My God, how couldst Thou drive away a poor beggar who seeks refuge in Thee from sins, fleeing?

Or how couldst Thou disappoint one seeking guidance who repairs to Thy threshold, running?

Or how could You reject a thirsty man who comes to Your wells to drink?

Never! For Thy pools are full in the hardship of drought

Thy door is open for seeking and penetration

And Thou art the goal of requests and the object of hopes

My God, these are the reins of my soul I have bound them with the ties of Thy will

These are the burdens of my sins I have averted them with Thy pardon and mercy

these are my caprices that lead astray - I have entrusted them to the threshold of Thy gentleness and kindliness

So make this morning of mine, oh God, descend upon me with the radiance of guidance

and with safety in religion and this world!

And [make] my evening a shield against the deception of enemies

And a protection against the destructive blows of caprice!

Thou art able over what Thou wilt!

Thou givest the kingdom to whom Thou wilt, and Thou seizest the kingdom from whom Thou wilt

Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt

In Thy hand is the good, Thou art powerful over all things

Thou makest the night to enter into the day, and Thou makest the day to enter into the night

Thou bringest forth the living from the dead, and Thou bringest forth dead from the living

and Thou providest whomsoever Thou wilt without reckoning

There is no god but Thou! Glory be to Thee, oh God, and Thine is the praise!

Who knows Thy measure without fearing Thee?

Who knows what Thou art without awe of Thee?

Through Thy power Thou hast joined disparate things

And through Thy gentleness Thou hast cleaved apart the daybreak

And through Thy generosity Thou hast illumined the dark shrouds of night

Thou hast made waters, sweet and salt, flow forth from hard shining stones

And sent down out of rain-clouds water cascading

And appointed the sun and moon a blazing lamp for the creatures

Without experiencing in that which Thou originated either weariness or effort

So, oh He who is alone in might and subsistence

And dominates His slaves with death and annihilation

Bless Muhammad and his household, the godfearing

And answer my supplication hear my call

And actualize through Thy bounty my hope and desire

Oh best of those who is called to remove affliction

And object of hope in every difficulty and ease!

I have stated my need, so do not reject me, oh my master, despairing of Thy exalted gifts

Oh All-generous! Oh All-generous! Oh All-generous!

By Thy mercy, oh Most Merciful of the merciful!

And God bless the best of His creatures, Muhammad, and all his household!

Then prostrate and say: My God, my heart is veiled

My soul is deficient

My intelligence is defeated

My caprice is triumphant

My obedience is little

My disobedience is much

And my tongue acknowledges sins

So what am I to do? Oh He who covers defects!

Oh He who knows the unseen things!

Oh He who removes troubles

Forgive my sins, all of them, by the sacredness of Muhammad and the household of Muhammad!

Oh All-forgiver! Oh All-forgiver! Oh All-forgiver!

By Thy mercy, oh Most Merciful of the mercifull!
