bismillāh al-raḥmān al-raḥīm

In the Name of ALLAH, the All-merciful, the All-compassionate

al-ḥamdu lillāh al-ladhī jaʿala

Praise belongs to ALLAH, who appointed

al-laylu libāsan

the night to be a garment,

wa al-nawmu subatan

and sleep for a rest,

wa jaʿala al-nahāra nushūran

and day He appointed for a rising!

laka al-ḥamdu an baʿathtanī min marqadī, wa law shiʾta jaʿaltahu sarmadān

To Thee belongs praise, for Thou roused me from my sleep, —and hadst Thou willed, Thou wouldst have made it everlasting—

ḥamdan dāʾiman lā yanqaṭiʿu abadan

an everlasting praise that will never be cut off

walā yuḥṣī lahul-khalāiqu ʿadadā

and whose number the creatures will never count!

allāhumma laka al-ḥamd, an..

O ALLAH, to Thee belongs praise,

khalqta fasawwayta

for Thou created, then proportioned,

wa qaddarta wa qadaytَ

ordained and decreed,

wa-amattu wa-ahyayta

gave death and bestowed life,

wa-amrarta wa-shafayta

made sick and healed,

waʿāfayta waʾablayta

made well and afflicted,

wa ʿalā al-ʿarshi istawāytَ

and sat upon the Throne

wa ʿalal-mulki ihtawaita

encompassed the Kingdom!

adʿūka duʿāa man-

I supplicate Thee with the supplication of one

ḍaʿufat wasīlatuhu

whose mediation is weak,

wa inqataʿat heelatuhu

whose stratagems have been cut off,

waqtaraba ajaluhu

whose term has drawn near,

wa tadānā fī al-dunyā amaluhu

whose expectation from this world has shrunk,

wa-ʾishtaddat ʾilā raḥmatika faqatuhu

whose neediness for Thy mercy has intensified,

waʿadhumat li-tafriṭihi ḥasratuhu

whose remorse for his neglect has become great,

wa kathurat zallatuhu wa ʿathratuhu

whose slips and stumbles have become many,

wa khaluṣat liwajhika tawbatuhu

and whose repentance is devoted sincerely to Thy face.

faṣallī ʿalā muḥammad khātim al-nabiyyīn

So bless MUHAMMAD, the Seal of the Prophets,

wa ʿalā ahli baytihit-tayyibīn at-tāhirīn

and his Household, the good, the pure.

wa arzuqni shafaʿata muḥammad ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wa ālihi

provide me with the intercession of MUHAMMAD (ALLAH bless him and his Household)

wa lā taḥrimnī ṣuḥbatahu

and deprive me not of his companionship!

'innaka anta arḥamu r-raḥimīn

Surely Thou art the Most Merciful of the merciful!

O ALLAH, decree for me on Wednesday four things: Induce me

quwwati fi ṭāʿatika

to be strong in obedience to Thee,

wa-nashaṭī fī ʿibādatika

to be joyful in worshiping Thee,

wa raghbatī fī thawābika

to be desirous of Thy reward,

wa zuhdī fīmā yūjibulī alīm ʿiqābika.

and to abstain from that which would make incumbent upon me Thy painful punishment!

'innaka latīfun limā tashā'u

Thou art Gentle to whom Thou wilt!
