41- His Supplication in Asking for Covering and Protection
اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و افرشني مهاد كرامتك ، و اوردني مشارع رحمتك ، و احللني بحبوحة جنتك ، و لا تسمني بالرد عنك ، و لا تحرمني بالخيبة منك .و لا تقاصني بما اجترحت ، و لا تناقشني بما اكتسبت ، و لا تبرز مكتومي ، و لا تكشف مستوري ، و لا تحمل علي ميزان الانصاف عملي ، و لا تعلن علي عيون الملاء خبري .اخف عنهم ما يكون نشره علي عارا ، و اطو عنهم ما يلحقني عندك شنارا .شرف درجتي برضوانك ، و اكمل كرامتي بغفرانك ، و أنظمني في اصحاب اليمن ، و وجهني في مسالك الامنين ، و اجعلني في فوج الفائزين ، و اعمر بي مجالس الصالحين ، امين رب العالمين .

41 - His Supplication in Asking for Covering And Protection O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , spread for me the bed of Thy honour , bring me to the wateringholes of Thy mercy , set me down in the midst of Thy Garden , stamp me not with rejection by Thee , deprive me not through disappointment by Thee , settle not accounts with me for what I have committed , make not reckoning with me for what I have earned , display not what I have hidden , expose not what I have covered over , weigh not my works on the scales of fairness , and make not my tidings known to the eyes of the crowd ! Conceal from them everything whose unfolding would shame me and roll up before them all which would join me to disgrace with Thee ! Ennoble my degree through Thy good pleasure , perfect my honour through Thy forgiveness , rank me among the companions of the right hand , direct me to the roads of the secure , place me in the throng of the triumphant , and through me let the sessions of the righteous thrive ! Amen , Lord of the worlds

42- His Supplication upon Completing a Reading of the Qur'an
اللهم إنك اعنتني علي ختم كتابك الذي انزلته نورا ، و جعلته مهيمنا علي كل كتاب انزلته ، و فضلته علي كل حديث قصصته .و فرقانا فرقت به بين حلالك و حرامك ، و قرآنا اعربت به عن شرائع احكامك ، و كتابا فصلته لعبادك تفصيلا ، و وحيا انزلته علي نبيك محمد - صلواتك عليه و آله - تنزيلا .و جعلته نورا نهتدي من ظلم الضلالة و الجهالة باتباعه ، و شفاء لمن انصت بفهم التصديق الي استماعه ، و ميزان قسط لا يحيف عن الحق لسانه ، و نور هدي لا يطفأ عن الشاهدين برهانه ، و علم نجاة لا يضل من أم قصد سنته ، و لا تنال ايدي الهلكات من تعلق بعروة عصمته .اللهم فإذ افدتنا المعونة علي تلاوته ، و سهلت جواسي السنتنا بحسن عبارته ، فاجعلنا ممن يرعاه حق رعايته ، و يدين لك باعتقاد التسليم المحكم اياته ، و يفزع الي الاقرار بمبشابهه و موضحات بيناته .اللهم إنك انزلته علي نبيك محمد - صلي الله عليه و آله - مجملا ، و الهمته علم عجائبه مكملا ، و ورثتنا علمه مفسرا ، وفضلتنا علي من جهل علمه ، و قويتنا عليه لترفعنا فوق من لم يطق حمله .اللهم فكما جعلت قلوبنا له حملة ، و عرفتنا برحمتك شرفه و فضله ، فصل علي محمد الخطيب به ، و علي آله الخزان له ، و اجعلنا ممن يعترف بأنه من عندك حتي لا يعارضنا الشك في تصديقه ، و لا يختلجنا الزيغ عن قصد طريقه .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اجعلنا ممن يعتصم بحبله ، و يأوي من المتشابهات الي حرز معقله ، و يسكن في ظل جناحه ، و يهتدي بضوء صباحه ، و يقتدي بتبلج اسفاره ، و يستصبح بمصباحه ، و لا يلتمس الهدي في غيره .اللهم و كما نصبت به محمدا علما للدلالة عليك ، و انهجت باله سبل الرضا اليك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اجعل القرآن وسيلة لنا الي اشرف منازل الكرامة ، و سلما نعرج فيه الي محل السلامة ، و سببا نجزي به النجاة في عرصة القيمة ، و ذريعة نقدم بها علي نعيم دار المقامة .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و احطط بالقرآن عنا ثقل الاوزار ، و هب لنا حسن شمائل الابرار ، واقف بنا اثار الذين قاموا لك به اناء الليل و اطراف النهار حتي تطهرنا من كل دنس بتطهيره ، و تقفو بنا آثار الذين استضاؤا بنوره ، و لم يلههم الامل عن العمل فيقطعهم بخدع غروره .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اجعل القرآن لنا في ظلم الليالي مونسا ، و من نزغات الشيطان و خطرات الوساوس حارسا ، و لاقدامنا عن نقلها الي المعاصي حابسا ، و لالسنتنا عن الخوض في الباطل من غير ما آفة مخرسا ، و لجوارحنا عن اقتراف الاثام زاجرا ، و لما طوت الغفلة عنا من تصفح الاعتبار ناشرا ، حتي توصل الي قلوبنا فهم عجائبه ، و زواجر امثاله التي ضعفت الجبال الرواسي علي صلابتها عن احتماله .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، وادم بالقرآن صلاح ظاهرنا ، و احجب به خطرات الوساوس عن صحة ضمائرنا ، و اغسل به درن قلوبنا و علائق اوزارنا ، و اجمع به منتشر امورنا ، و ارو به في موقف العرض عليك ظما هواجرنا ، و اكسنا به حلل الامان يوم الفزع الاكبر في نشورنا .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اجبر بالقرآن خلتنا من عدم الاملاق ، و سق الينا به رغد العيش و خصب سعة الارزاق ، و جنبنا به الضرائب المذمومة و مداني الاخلاق ، و اعصمنا به من هوة الكفر و دواعي النفاق حتي يكون لنا في القيمة الي رضوانك و جنانك قائدا، و لنا في الدنيا عن سخطك و تعدي حدودك ذائدا ، و لما عندك بتحليل حلاله و تحريم حرامه شاهدا .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و هون بالقرآن عند الموت علي انفسنا كرب السياق ، و جهد الانين ، و ترادف الحشارج إذا بلغت النفوس التراقي ، و قيل من راق ؟ و تجلي ملك الموت لقبضها من حجب الغيوب ، و رماها عن قوس المنايا باسهم وحشة الفراق ، و داف لها من ذعاف الموت كأسا مسمومة المذاق ، و دنا منا الي الاخرة رحيل و انطلاق ، و صارت الاعمال قلائد في الاعناق ، و كانت القبور هي المأوي الي ميقات يوم التلاق .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و بارك لنا في حول دار البلي ، و طول المقامة بين اطباق الثري ، و اجعل القبور بعد فراق الدنيا خير منازلنا ، و افسح لنا برحمتك في ضيق ملاحدنا ، و لا تفضحنا في حاضري القيمة بموبقات اثامنا .و ارحم بالقرآن في موقف العرض عليك ذل مقامنا ، و ثبت به عند اضطراب جسر جهنم يوم المجاز عليها زلل اقدامنا ، و نور به قبل البعث سدف قبورنا ، و نجنا به من كل كرب يوم القيمة و شدائد اهوال يوم الطامة .و بيض وجوهنا يوم تسود وجوه الظلمة في يوم الحسرة و الندامة ، و اجعل لنا في صدور المؤمنين ودا ، و لا تجعل الحيوة علينا نكدا .اللهم صل علي محمد عبدك و رسولك كما بلغ رسالتك ، و صدع بامرك ، و نصح لعبادك .اللهم اجعل نبينا - صلواتك عليه و علي آله - يوم القيمة اقرب النبيين منك مجلسا ، و امكنهم منك شفاعة ، و اجلهم عندك قدرا ، و اوجههم عندك جاها .اللهم صل علي محمد و آل محمد ، و شرف بنيانه ، و عظم برهانه ، و ثقل ميزانه ، و تقبل شفاعته ، و قرب وسيلته ، و بيض وجهه ، و اتم نوره ، و ارفع درجته .و احينا علي سنته ، و توفنا علي ملته و خذ بنا منهاجه ، و اسلك بنا سبيله ، و اجعلنا من اهل طاعته ، و احشرنا في زمرته ، و اوردنا حوضه ، و اسقنا بكأسه .و صل اللهم علي محمد و آله ، صلوة تبلغه بها افضل ما يأمل من خيرك و فضلك و كرامتك ، إنك ذو رحمة واسعة ، و فضل كريم .اللهم اجزه بما بلغ من رسالاتك ، و ادي من اياتك ، و نصح لعبادك ، و جاهد في سبيلك ، أفضل ما جزيت احدا من ملائكتك المقربين ، و أنبيائك المرسلين المصطفين ، و السلام عليه و علي آله الطيبين الطاهرين و رحمة الله و بركاته .


42 - His Supplication upon Completing a Reading of the Qur'an O God , Thou hast helped me complete Thy Book , which Thou sent down as a light and appointed as a guardian over every book Thou hast sent down , preferring it over every narrative which Thou hast recounted , a separator , through which Thou hast separated Thy lawful from Thy unlawful , a Qur'an , through which Thou hast made plain the approaches to Thy ordinances , a book , which Thou hast distinguished very distinctly for Thy servants , a revelation , which Thou hast sent down , a sending down , upon Thy prophet Muhammad ( Thy blessings be upon him and his Household ) . Thou appointed it a light through following which we may be guided from the shadows of error and ignorance , a healing for him who turns ear toward hearing it with the understanding of attestation , a just balance whose tongue does not incline away from truth , a light of guidance whose proof is not extinguished before the witnesses , and a guidepost of deliverance , so that he who repairs straightway to its prescription will not go astray and he who clings to its preservation's handhold will not be touched by the hands of disasters . O God , since Thou hast given us help to recite it and made smooth the roughness of our tongues through the beauty of its expression , place us among those who observe it as it should be observed , serve Thee by adhering in submission to the firm text of its verses , and seek refuge in admitting both its ambiguous parts and the elucidations of its clear signs ! O God , Thou sent it down upon Thy prophet Muhammad ( God bless him and his Household ) in summary form , Thou inspired him with the science of its wonders to complement it , Thou made us the heirs of its knowledge as interpreters , Thou made us to surpass him who is ignorant of its knowledge , and Thou gave us strength over it to raise us above those not able to carry it . O God , just as Thou hast appointed our hearts as its carriers and made known to us through Thy mercy its nobility and excellence , so also bless Muhammad , its preacher , and his Household , its guardians , and place us among those who confess that it has come from Thee , lest doubt about attesting to it assail us , or deviation from its straightforward path shake us ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and make us one of those who hold fast to its cord , seek haven from its ambiguities in its fortified stronghold , rest in the shadow of its wing , find guidance in the brightness of its morning , follow the shining of its disclosure , acquire light from its lamp , and beg not guidance from any other ! O God , just as through it Thou hast set up Muhammad as a guidepost to point to Thee and through his Household Thou hast made clear Thy good pleasure's roads to Thee , so also bless Muhammad and his Household and make the Qur'an our mediation to the noblest stations of Thy honour , a ladder by which we may climb to the place of safety , a cause for our being repaid with deliverance at the Plain of Resurrection , and a means whereby we may reach the bliss of the House of Permanence ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , lessen for us through the Qur'an the weight of heavy sins , give to us the excellent qualities of the pious , and make us follow the tracks of those who stood before Thee in the watches of the night and the ends of the day , such that Thou purifiest us from every defilement through its purification and makest us to follow the tracks of those who have taken illumination from its light and whom expectation has not distracted from works , cutting them off through its delusions' deceptions ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and appoint the Qur'an for us an intimate in the shadows of nights and a guardian against the instigations of Satan and confusing thoughts , for our feet an obstruction from passing to acts of disobedience , for our tongues a silencer without blight preventing a plunge into falsehood , for our limbs a restrainer from committing sins , and for the scrutiny of heedfulness rolled up in heedlessness an unroller , such that Thou attachest to our hearts the understanding of the Qur'an's wonders and its restraining similitudes which immovable mountains in all their solidity were too weak to carry ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and through the Qur'an make permanent the rightness of our outward selves , veil the ideas of confusing thoughts from the soundness of our innermost minds , wash away the dirt of our hearts and the ties of our heavy sins , gather our scattered affairs , quench the thirst of our burning heat in the standing place of the presentation to Thee , and clothe us in the robes of security on the Day of the Greatest Terror at our uprising ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and through the Qur'an redress our lack - our destitution in poverty - drive toward us the comforts of life and an abundance of plentiful provisions , turn aside blameworthy character traits and base moral qualities , and preserve us from the pit of unbelief and the motives for hypocrisy , such that the Qur'an may be for us at the resurrection a leader to Thy good pleasure and Thy gardens , for us in this world a protector against Thy displeasure and transgressing Thy bounds , and for what is with Thee a witness by its declaring lawful the lawful and its declaring unlawful the unlawful ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and through the Qur'an make easy for our souls at death the distress of the driving , the effort of the moaning , and the succession of the rattling , when souls 'reach the throats and it is said , "Where is the enchanter ?"' ; when the angel of death discloses himself to seize them from behind the veils of unseen things , letting loose at them from the bow of destinies the arrows of the terror of lonesome separation , and mixing for them from sudden death a cup poisoned to the taste ; and when departure and release for the hereafter come close to us , works become collars around the necks , and the graves become the haven until the appointed time of the Day of Encounter ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , make blessed for us the arrival at the house of decay and the drawn out residence between the layers of the earth , appoint the graves , after separation from this world , the best of our waystations , make roomy for us through Thy mercy the narrowness of our tombs , and disgrace us not among those present at the Resurrection through our ruinous sins ! Through the Qur'an have mercy upon the lowliness of our station at the standing place of presentation to Thee , make firm the slips of our feet during the shaking of the bridge across hell on the day of passage over it , illuminate the darkness of our graves before the Uprising , and deliver us from every distress on the Day of Resurrection and from the hardships of terrors on the Day of Disaster ! Whiten our faces on the day when the faces of wrongdoers are blackened during the Day of Regret and Remorse , appoint love for us in the breasts of the faithful , and make not life for us troublesome ! O God , bless Muhammad , Thy servant and Thy messenger , just as he delivered Thy message , executed Thy command , and counselled Thy servants ! O God , on the Day of Resurrection make our Prophet ( Thy blessings be upon him and his Household ) the nearest of the prophets to Thee in seat , the ablest of them before Thee with intercession , the greatest of them with Thee in measure , and the most eminent of them with Thee in rank ! O God , bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad , ennoble his edifice , magnify his proof , make weighty his balance , accept his intercession , bring near his mediation , whiten his face , complete his light , and raise his degree ! Make us live according to his 'Sunna' , make us die in his creed , take us on his road , make us travel his path , place us among the people who obey him , muster us in his band , lead us to up his pool , and give us to drink of his cup ! And bless Muhammad and his Household , with a blessing through which Thou wilt take him to the most excellent of Thy good , Thy bounty , and Thy generosity for which he hopes ! Thou art Possessor of boundless mercy and generous bounty . O God , repay him for Thy messages which he delivered , Thy signs which he passed on , the good counsel he gave to Thy servants , and the struggle he undertook in Thy way , with the best Thou hast repaid any of Thy angels brought nigh and Thy prophets sent out and chosen ! And upon him and his Household , the good , the pure , be peace , God's mercy , and His blessings !

43 - His Supplication when he Looked at the New Crescent Moon O obedient creature , speedy and untiring , frequenter of the mansions of determination , moving about in the sphere of governance ! I have faith in Him who lights up darknesses through thee , illuminates jet-black shadows by thee , appointed thee one of the signs of His kingdom and one of the marks of His authority , and humbled thee through increase and decrease , rising and setting , illumination and eclipse . In all of this thou art obedient to Him , prompt toward His will . Glory be to Him ! How wonderful is what He has arranged in thy situation ! How subtle what He has made for thy task ! He has made thee the key to a new month for a new situation . So I ask God , my Lord and thy Lord , my Creator and thy Creator , my Determiner and thy Determiner , my Form-giver and thy Form-giver , that He bless Muhammad and his Household and appoint thee a crescent of blessings not effaced by days and of purity not defiled by sins ; a crescent of security from blights and of safety from evil deeds ; a crescent of auspiciousness containing no misfortune , of prosperity accompanied by no adversity , of ease not mixed with difficulty , of good unstained by evil ; a crescent of security and faith , favour and good-doing , safety and submission ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , place us among the most satisfied of those over whom the crescent has risen , the purest of those who have looked upon it , the most fortunate of those who have worshiped Thee under it ; give us the success during ( the new month ) to repent , preserve us within it from misdeeds , guard us therein from pursuing disobedience to Thee , allot to us within it thanksgiving for Thy favour , clothe us during it in the shields of well-being , and complete for us Thy kindness by perfecting therein obedience to Thee ! Surely Thou art All-kind , Praiseworthy . And bless Muhammad and his Household , the good , the pure

44- His Supplication for the Coming of the Month of Ramadan
الحمد لله الذي هدانا لحمده ، و جعلنا من اهله لنكون لاحسانه من الشاكرين ، و ليجزينا علي ذلك جزاء المحسنين .و الحمد لله الذي حبانا بدينه واختصنا بملته ، و سبلنا في سبل احسانه لنسلكها بمنه الي رضوانه ، حمدا يتقبله منا ، و يرضي به عنا .و الحمد لله الذي جعل من تلك السبل شهره شهر رمضان ، شهر الصيام ، و شهر الاسلام ، و شهر الطهور ، و شهر التمحيص ، و شهر القيام الذي انزل فيه القرآن ، هدي للناس ، و بينات من الهدي و الفرقان .فابان فضيلته علي سائر الشهور بما جعل له من الحرمات الموفورة ، و الفضائل المشهورة ، فحرم فيه ما احل في غيره اعظاما ، و حجر فيه المطاعم و المشارب اكراما ، و جعل له وقتا بينا لا يجيز - جل و عز - أن يقدم قبله ، و لا يقبل أن يؤخر عنه .ثم فضل ليلة واحدة من لياليه علي ليالي الف شهر ، و سماها ليلة القدر ، تنزل الملئكة و الروح فيها باذن ربهم من كل امر سلام ، دائم البركة الي طلوع الفجر علي من يشاء من عباده بما احكم من قضائه .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و الهمنا معرفة فضله و اجلال حرمتة ، و التحفظ مما حظرت فيه ، و أعنا علي صيامه بكف الجوارح عن معاصيك ، و استعمالها فيه بما يرضيك حتي لا نصغي باسماعنا الي لغو ، و لا نسرع بابصارنا الي لهو .و حتي لا نبسط ايدينا الي محظور ، و لا نخطو باقدامنا الي محجور ، و حتي لا تعي بطوننا إلا ما احللت ، و لا تنطق السنتنا إلا بما مثلت ، و لا نتكلف إلا ما يدني من ثوابك ، و لا نتعاطي إلا الذي يقي من عقابك ، ثم خلص ذلك كله من رئاء المرائين ، و سمعة المسمعين ، لا نشرك فيه احدا دونك ، و لا نبتغي فيه مرادا سواك .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، وقفنا فيه علي مواقيت الصلوات الخمس بحدودها التي حددت ، و فروضها التي فرضت ، و وظائفها التي وظفت ، و أوقاتها التي وقت .و انزلنا فيها منزلة المصيبين لمنازلها ، الحافظين لاركانها ، المؤدين لها في اوقاتها علي ما سنه عبدك و رسولك - صلواتك عليه و آله - في ركوعها و سجودها و جميع فواضلها علي اتم الطهور و اسبغه ، و أبين الخشوع و ابلغه .و وفقنا فيه لان نصل ارحامنا بالبر و الصلة ، و أن نتعاهد جيراننا بالافضال و العطية ، و أن نخلص اموالنا من التبعات ، و أن نطهرها باخراج الزكوات ، و أن نراجع من هاجرنا ، وأن ننصف من ظلمنا ، و أن نسالم من عادانا حاشي من عودي فيك و لك ، فإنه العدو الذي لا نواليه ، و الحزب الذي لا نصافيه .و أن نتقرب اليك فيه من الاعمال الزاكية بما تطهرنا به من الذنوب ، و تعصمنا فيه مما نستأنف من العيوب ، حتي لا يورد عليك احد من ملائكتك إلا دون ما نورد من ابواب الطاعة لك ، و انواع القربة اليك .اللهم إني سالك بحق هذا الشهر ، و بحق من تعبد لك فيه من ابتدائه الي وقت فنائه : من ملك قربته ، أو نبي ارسلته ، أو عبد صالح اختصصته ، أن تصلي علي محمد و آله ، و اهلنا فيه لما وعدت اولياءك من كرامتك ، و اوجب لنا فيه ما أوجبت لاهل المبالغة في طاعتك ، و اجعلنا في نظم من استحق الرفيع الاعلي برحمتك .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و جنبنا الالحاد في توحيدك ، و التقصير في تمجيدك ، و الشك في دينك ، و العمي عن سبيلك ، و الاغفال لحرمتك ، و الانخداع لعدوك الشيطان الرجيم .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و إذا كان لك في كل ليلة من ليالي شهرنا هذا رقاب يعتقها عفوك ، أو يهبها صفحك فاجعل رقابنا من تلك الرقاب ، و اجعلنا لشهرنا من خير اهل و اصحاب .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و امحق ذنوبنا مع امحاق هلاله ، و اسلخ عنا تبعاتنا مع انسلاخ ايامه حتي ينقضي عنا و قد صفيتنا فيه من الخطيئات ، و اخلصتنا فيه من السيئات .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و إن ملنا فيه فعدلنا ، و إن زغنا فيه فقومنا ، و إن اشتمل علينا عدوك الشيطان فاستنقذنا منه .اللهم اشحنه بعبادتنا إياك ، و زين اوقاته بطاعتنا لك ، و اعنا في نهاره علي صيامه ، و في ليله علي الصلوة و التضرع اليك ، و الخشوع لك ، و الذلة بين يديك حتي لا يشهد نهاره علينا بغفلة ، و لا ليله بتفريط .اللهم و اجعلنا في سائر الشهور و الايام كذلك ما عمرتنا ، و اجعلنا من عبادك الصالحين الذين يرثون الفردوس هم فيها خالدون ، و الذين يؤتون ما اتوا و قلوبهم و جلة ، أنهم الي ربهم راجعون ، و من الذين يسارعون في الخيرات و هم لها سابقون .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، في كل وقت و كل اوان و علي كل حال عدد ما صليت علي من صليت عليه ، و اضعاف ذلك كله بالاضعاف التي لا يحصيها غيرك ، إنك فعال لما تريد .


44 - His Supplication for the Coming of the Month of Ramadan Praise belongs to God who guided us to His praise and placed us among the people of praise , that we might be among the thankful for His beneficence and that He might recompense us for that with the recompense of the good-doers ! And praise belongs to God who showed favour to us through His religion , singled us out for His creed , and directed us onto the roads of His beneficense , in order that through His kindness we might travel upon them to His good pleasure , a praise which He will accept from us and through which He will be pleased with us ! And praise belongs to God who appointed among those roads His month , the month of Ramadan , the month of fasting , the month of submission , the month of purity , the month of putting to test , the month of standing in prayer , 'in which the Qur'an was sent down as guidance to the people , and as clear signs of the Guidance and the Separator' ! He clarified its excellence over other months by the many sacred things and well-known excellencies which He placed therein , for He made unlawful in it what He declared lawful in others to magnify it , He prohibited foods and drink in it to honour it , and He appointed for it a clear time which he ( majestic and mighty is He ) allows not to be set forward and accepts not to be placed behind . Then He made one of its nights surpass the nights of a thousand months and named it the Night of Decree ; 'in it the angels and the Spirit descend by the leave of their Lord upon every command , a peace' constant in blessings until the rising of the dawn upon whomsoever He will of His servants according to the decision He has made firm . O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , inspire us with knowledge of its excellence , veneration of its inviolability , and caution against what Thou hast forbidden within it , and help us to fast in it by our restraining our limbs from acts of disobedience toward Thee and our employing them in that which pleases Thee , so that we lend not our ears to idle talk and hurry not with our eyes to diversion , we stretch not our hands toward the forbidden and stride not with our feet toward the prohibited , our bellies hold only what Thou hast made lawful and our tongues speak only what Thou hast exemplified , we undertake nothing but what brings close to Thy reward and pursure nothing but what protects from Thy punishment ! Then rid all of that from the false show of the false showers and the fame seeking of the fame seekers , lest we associate therein anything with Thee or seek therein any object of desire but Thee ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , in it make us attend to the appointed moments of the five prayers within the bounds Thou hast set , the obligations Thou hast decreed , the duties Thou hast assigned , and the times Thou hast specified ; and in the prayers make us alight in the station of the keepers of their stations , the gardians of their pillars , their performers in their times , as Thy servant and Thy messenger set down in his 'Sunna' ( Thy blessings be upon him and his Household ) in their bowings , their prostrations , and all their excellent acts , with the most complete and ample ritual purity and the most evident and intense humility ! Give us success in this month to tighten our bonds of kin with devotion and gifts , attend to our neighbours with bestowal and giving , rid our possessions from claims , purify them through paying the alms , go back to him who has gone far from us , treat justly him who has wronged us , make peace with him who shows enmity toward us ( except him who is regarded as an enemy in Thee and for Thee , for he is the enemy whom we will not befriend , the party whom we will not hold dear ) , and seek nearness to Thee through blameless works which will purify us from sins and preserve us from renewing faults , so that none of Thy angels will bring for Thee the kinds of obedience and sorts of nearness-seeking unless they be less than what we bring ! O God , I ask Thee by the right of this month and by the right of him who worships Thee within it from its beginning to the time of its passing , whether angel Thou hast brought nigh to Thee , prophet Thou hast sent , or righteous servant Thou hast singled out , that Thou bless Muhammad and his Household , make us worthy of the generosity Thou hast promised Thy friends , make incumbent for us what Thou hast made incumbent for those who go to great lengths in obeying Thee , and place us in the ranks of those who deserve through Thy mercy the highest elevation ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , turn us aside from deviation in professing Thy Unity , falling short in magnifying Thee , in Thy religion , blindness toward Thy path , heedlessness of Thy inviolability , and being deceived by Thy enemy , the accursed Satan ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , and when in every night of this month's nights Thou hast necks which Thy pardon will release and Thy forgiveness disregard , place our necks among those necks and place us among the best folk and companions of this our month ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , efface our sins along with the effacing of its crescent moon , and make us pass forth from the ill effects of our acts with the passing of its days , until it leaves us behind , while within it Thou hast purified us of offenses and rid us of evil deeds ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , and should we go off to one side in this month , set us aright ; should we swerve , point us straight ; and should Thy enemy Satan enwrap us , rescue us from him ! O God , fill this month with our worship of Thee , adorn its times with our obedience toward Thee , help us during its daytime with its fast , and in its night with prayer and pleading toward Thee , humility toward Thee , and lowliness before Thee , so that its daytime may not bear witness agianst our heedlessness , nor its night against our neglect ! O God , make us like this in the other months and days as long as Thou givest us life , and place us among Thy righteous servants , 'those who shall inherit Paradise , therein dwelling forever , those who give what they give , while their hearts quake , that they are returning to their Lord' , those who 'vie in good works , outracing to them' ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household in every time , in all moments , and in every state , to the number that Thou hast blessed whomsoever Thou hast blessed and to multiples of all that , through multiples which none can count but Thee ! Surely Thou art Accomplisher of what Thou desirest .

45- His Supplication in Bidding Farewell to the Month of Ramadan
اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، في كل وقت و كل اوان و علي كل حال عدد ما صليت علي من صليت عليه ، و اضعاف ذلك كله بالاضعاف التي لا يحصيها غيرك ، إنك فعال لما تريد .اللهم يا من لا يرغب في الجزاء .و يا من لا

تكافئ من حمدك و أنت علمته حمدك .تستر علي من لو شئت فضحته ، و تجود علي من لو شئت منعته ، و كلاهما اهل منك للفضيحة والمنع غير أنك بنيت افعالك علي التفضل ، و اجريت قدرتك علي التجاوز .و تلقيت من عصاك بالحلم ، و امهلت من قصد لنفسه بالظلم ، تستنظرهم بأناتك إلي الانابة ، و تترك معاجلتهم الي التوبة لكيلا يهلك عليك هالكهم ، و لا يشقي بنعمتك شقيهم إلا عن طول الاعذار إليه ، و بعد ترادف الحجة عليه ، كرما من عفوك يا كريم ، و عائدة من عطفك يا حليم .أنت الذي فتحت لعبادك بابا الي عفوك ، و سميته التوبة ، و جعلت علي ذلك الباب دليلا من وحيك لئلا يضلوا عنه ، فقلت - تبارك اسمك - : توبوا إلي الله توبة نصوحا عسي ربكم أن يكفر عنكم سيئاتكم و يدخلكم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار .يوم لا يخزي الله النبي و الذين امنوا معه ، نورهم يسعي بين أيديهم و بايمانهم ، يقولون : ربنا اتمم لنا نورنا ، و اغفر لنا ، إنك علي كل شي ء قدير . فما عذر من اغفل دخول ذلك المنزل بعد فتح الباب و اقامة الدليل ؟! .و أنت الذي زدت في السوم علي نفسك لعبادك ، تريد ربحهم في متاجرتهم لك ، و فوزهم بالوفادة عليك ، و الزيادة منك ، فقلت - تبارك اسمك و تعاليت - : من جاء بالحسنة فله عشر أمثالها ، و من جاء بالسيئة فلا يجزي إلا مثلها .و قلت : مثل الذين ينفقون اموالهم في سبيل الله كمثل حبة أنبتت سبع سنابل في كل سنبلة مائة حبة ، و الله يضاعف لمن يشاء ، و قلت : من ذا الذي يقرض الله قرضا حسنا فيضاعفه له اضعافا كثيرة . و ما أنزلت من نظائرهن في القرآن من تضاعيف الحسنات .و أنت الذي دللتهم بقولك من غيبك و ترغيبك الذي فيه حظهم علي ما لو سترته عنهم لم تدركه ابصارهم ، و لم تعه اسماعهم ، و لم تلحقه اوهامهم ، فقلت : اذكروني اذكركم ، و اشكروا لي و لا تكفرون ، و قلت : لئن شكرتم لازيدنكم ، و لئن كفرتم إن عذابي لشديد .و قلت : ادعوني استجب لكم ، إن الذين يستكبرون عن عبادتي سيدخلون جهنم داخرين ، فسميت دعاءك عبادة ، و تركه استكبارا ، و توعدت علي تركه دخول جهنم داخرين .فذكروك بمنك ، و شكروك بفضلك ، و دعوك بامرك ، و تصدقوا لك طلبا لمزيدك ، و فيها كانت نجاتهم من غضبك ، و فوزهم برضاك .و لو دل مخلوق مخلوقا من نفسه علي مثل الذي دللت عليه عبادك منك كان موصوفا بالاحسان ، و منعوتا بالامتنان ، و محمودا بكل لسان ، فلك الحمد ما وجد في حمدك مذهب ، و ما بقي للحمد لفظ تحمد به ، و معني ينصرف اليه .يا من تحمد الي عباده بالاحسان و الفضل ، و غمرهم بالمن و الطول ، ما افشي فينا نعمتك ، و اسبغ علينا منتك ، و اخصنا ببرك !هديتنا لدينك الذي اصطفيت ، و ملتك التي ارتضيت ، و سبيلك الذي سهلت ، و بصرتنا الزلفة لديك ، و الوصول الي كرامتك .اللهم و أنت جعلت من صفايا تلك الوظائف ، و خصائص تلك الفروض شهر رمضان الذي اختصصته من سائر الشهور ، و تخيرته من جميع الازمنة و الدهور ، و اثرته علي كل اوقات السنة بما أنزلت فيه من القرآن و النور ، و ضاعفت فيه من الايمان ، و فرضت فيه من الصيام ، و رغبت فيه من القيام ، و اجللت فيه من ليلة القدر التي هي خير من الف شهر .ثم اثرتنا به علي سائر الامم ، و اصطفيتنا بفضله دون اهل الملل ، فصمنا بامرك نهاره ، و قمنا بعونك ليله ، متعرضين بصيامه و قيامه لما عرضتنا له من رحمتك ، و تسببنا اليه من مثوبتك ، و أنت الملئ بما رغب فيه اليك ، الجواد بما سئلت من فضلك ، القريب الي من حاول قربك .و قد اقام فينا هذا الشهر مقام حمد ، و صحبنا صحبة مبرور ، و اربحنا افضل ارباح العالمين ، ثم قد فارقنا عند تمام وقته ، و انقطاع مدته ، و وفاء عدده .فنحن مودعوه وداع من عز فراقه علينا ، و غمنا و اوحشنا انصرافه عنا ، و لزمنا له الذمام المحفوظ ، و الحرمة المرعية ، و الحق المقضي ، فنحن قائلون : السلام عليك يا شهر الله الاكبر ، و يا عيد أوليائه .السلام عليك يا اكرم مصحوب من الاوقات ، و يا خير شهر في الايام و الساعات .السلام عليك من شهر قربت فيه الامال ، و نشرت فيه الاعمال .السلام عليك من قرين جل قدره موجودا ، و افجع فقده مفقودا ، و مرجو الم

احرصنا بالامس عليك ، و اشد شوقنا غدا اليك .السلام عليك و علي فضلك الذي حرمناه ، و علي ماض من بركاتك سلبناه .اللهم إنا اهل هذا الشهر الذي شرفتنا به ، و وفقتنا بمنك له حين جهل الاشقياء وقته ، و حرموا لشقائهم فضله .أنت ولي ما اثرتنا به من معرفته ، و هديتنا له من سنته ، و قد تولينا بتوفيقك صيامه و قيامه علي تقصير ، و ادينا فيه قليلا من كثير .اللهم فلك الحمد اقرارا بالاساءة ، و اعترافا بالاضاعة ، و لك من قلوبنا عقد الندم ، و من السنتنا صدق الاعتذار ، فاجرنا علي ما اصابنا فيه من التفريط اجرا نستدرك به الفضل المرغوب فيه ، و نعتاض به من انواع الذخر المحروص عليه .و اوجب لنا عذرك علي ما قصرنا فيه من حقك ، و ابلغ باعمارنا ما بين ايدينا من شهر رمضان المقبل ، فإذا بلغتناه فاعنا علي تناول ما أنت اهله من العبادة ، و ادنا الي القيام بما يستحقه من الطاعة ، و اجر لنا من صالح العمل ما يكون دركا لحقك في الشهرين من شهور الدهر .اللهم و ما الممنا به في شهرنا هذا من لمم أو إثم ، أو واقعنا فيه من ذنب ، و اكتسبنا فيه من خطيئة علي تعمد منا ، أو علي نسيان ظلمنا فيه انفسنا ، أو انتهكنا به حرمة من غيرنا ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و استرنا بسترك ، واعف عنا بعفوك ، و لا تنصبنا فيه لاعين الشامتين ، و لا تبسط علينا فيه السن الطاعنين ، و استعملنا بما يكون حطة و كفارة لما انكرت منا فيه برأفتك التي لا تنفد ، و فضلك الذي لا ينقص .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اجبر مصيبتنا بشهرنا ، و بارك لنا في يوم عيدنا و فطرنا ، و اجعله من خير يوم مر علينا اجلبه لعفو ، و امحاه لذنب ، و اغفرلنا ما خفي من ذنوبنا و ما علن .اللهم اسلخنا بانسلاخ هذا الشهر من خطايانا ، و اخرجنا بخروجه من سيئاتنا ، و اجعلنا من اسعد اهله به ، و اجزلهم قسما فيه ، و اوفرهم حظا منه .اللهم و من رعي هذا الشهر حق رعايته ، و حفظ حرمته حق حفظها ، و قام بحدوده حق قيامها ، و اتقي ذنوبه حق تقاتها ، أو تقرب اليك بقربة اوجبت رضاك له ، و عطفت رحمتك عليه ، فهب لنا مثله من وجدك ، و اعطنا اضعافه من فضلك ، فإن فضلك لا يغيض ، و إن خزائنك لا تنقص بل تفيض ، و إن معادن احسانك لا تفني ، و إن عطاءك للعطاء المهنا .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اكتب لنا مثل اجور من صامه ، أو تعبد لك فيه الي يوم القيمة .اللهم إنا نتوب اليك في يوم فطرنا الذي جعلته للمؤمنين عيدا و سرورا ، و لاهل ملتك مجمعا و محتشدا من كل ذنب اذنبناه ، أو سوء اسلفناه ، أو خاطر شر اضمرناه ، توبة من لا ينطوي علي رجوع الي ذنب ، و لا يعود بعدها في خطيئة ، توبة نصوحا خلصت من الشك و الارتياب ، فتقبلها منا ، و ارض عنا ، و ثبتنا عليها .اللهم ارزقنا خوف عقاب الوعيد ، و شوق ثواب الموعود حتي نجد لذة ما ندعوك به ، و كابة ما نستجيرك منه .و اجعلنا عندك من التوابين الذين اوجبت لهم محبتك ، و قبلت منهم مراجعة طاعتك ، يا اعدل العادلين .اللهم تجاوز عن ابائنا و امهاتنا و اهل ديننا جميعا من سلف منهم و من غبر الي يوم القيمة .اللهم صل علي محمد نبينا و آله كما صليت علي ملائكتك المقربين ، و صل عليه و آله كما صليت علي انبيائك المرسلين ، و صل عليه و آله كما صليت علي عبادك الصالحين ، و افضل من ذلك يا رب العالمين ، صلوة تبلغنا بركتها ، و ينالنا نفعها ، و يستجاب لها دعاؤنا ، إنك اكرم من رغب اليه ، و اكفي من توكل عليه ، و اعطي من سئل من فضله ، و أنت علي كل شئ قدير .

45 - His Supplication in Bidding Farewell to the Month of Ramadan O God , O He who desires no repayment ! O He who shows no remorse at bestowal ! O He who rewards not His servant tit for tat ! Thy kindness is a new beginning , Thy pardon gratuitous bounty , Thy punishment justice , Thy decree a choice for the best ! If Thou bestowest , Thou stainest not Thy bestowal with obligation , and if Thou withholdest , Thou withholdest not in transgression . Thou showest gratitude to him who thanks Thee , while Thou hast inspired him to thank Thee . Thou rewardest him who praises Thee , while though Thou hast taught him Thy praise . Thou coverest him whom , if Thou willed , Thou wouldst expose , and Thou art generous toward him from whom , if Thou willed , Thou wouldst withhold . Both are worthy of Thy exposure and withholding , but Thou hast founded Thy acts upon gratuitous bounty , channeled Thy power into forbearance , received him who disobeyed Thee with clemency , and disregarded him who intended wrongdoing against himself . Thou awaitest their turning back without haste and refrainest from rushing them toward repentance , so that the perisher among them may not perish because of Thee and the wretched may not be wretched through Thy favour , but only after Thy prolonged excusing him and successive arguments against him , as an act of generosity through Thy pardon , O Generous , and an act of kindliness through Thy tenderness , O Clement ! It is Thou who hast opened for Thy servants a door to Thy pardon , which Thou hast named 'repentance' . Thou hast placed upon that door a pointer from Thy revelation , lest they stray from it : Thou hast said ( blessed are Thy names ) , 'Repent toward God with unswerving repentance ! It may be that Thy Lord will acquit you of your evil deeds and will admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow , upon the day when God will not degrade the Prophet and those who have faith along with him , their light running before them and on their right hands , and they say : "Our Lord , complete for us our light , and forgive us ! Surely Thou art powerful over everything ."' What is the excuse of him who remains heedless of entering that house after the opening of the door and the setting up of the pointer ? It is Thou who hast raised the price against Thyself to the advantage of Thy servants , desiring their profit in their trade with Thee , their triumph through reaching Thee , and their increase on account of Thee , for Thou hast said ( blessed is Thy Name and high art Thou exalted ) , 'Whoso brings a good deed shall have ten the like of it , and whoso brings an evil deed shall only be recompensed the like of it .' Thou hast said , The likeness of those who expend their wealth in the way of God is as the likeness of a grain of corn that sprouts seven ears , in every ear a hundred grains ; so God multiplies unto whom He wills . Thou hast said , 'Who is he that will lend to God a good loan , and He will multiply it for him manifold ?' And Thou hast sent down in the Qur'an similar verses on the multiplying of good deeds . It is Thou who hast pointed them through Thy speech from Thy Unseen and Thy encouragement in which lies their good fortune toward that which - hadst Thou covered it from them - their eyes would not have perceived , their ears would not have heard , and their imaginations would not have grasped , for Thou hast said , 'Remember Me and I will remember you be thankful to Me , and be you not thankless towards Me !' Thou hast said , 'If you are thankful , surely I will increase you , but if you are thankless , My chastisement is surely terrible ;' And Thou hast said , 'Supplicate Me and I will respond to you ; surely those who wax too proud to worship Me shall enter Gehenna utterly abject .' Hence Thou hast named supplicating Thee 'worship' and refraining from it 'waxing proud' , and Thou hast threatened that the refraining from it would yield entrance into Gehenna in utter abjection . So they remember Thee for Thy kindness , they thank Thee for Thy bounty , they supplicate Thee by Thy command , and they donate for Thee in order to seek Thy increase ; in all this lies their deliverance from Thy wrath and their triumph through Thy good pleasure . Were any creature himself to direct another creature to the like of that to which Thou Thyself hast directed Thy servants , he would be described by beneficence , qualified by kindness , and praised by every tongue . So to Thee belongs praise as long as there is found a way to praise Thee and as long as there remains for praising words by which Thou may be praised and meanings which may be spent in praise ! O He who shows Himself praiseworthy to His servants through beneficence and bounty , flooding them with kindness and graciousness ! How much Thy favour has been spread about among us , Thy kindness lavished upon us , and Thy goodness singled out for us ! Thou hast guided us to Thy religion which Thou hast chosen , Thy creed with which Thou art pleased , and Thy path which Thou hast made smooth , and Thou hast shown us proximity to Thee and arrival at Thy generosity ! O God , among the choicest of those duties and the most special of those obligations Thou hast appointed the month of Ramadan , which Thou hast singled out from other months , chosen from among all periods and eras , and preferred over all times of the year through the Qur'an and the Light which Thou sent down within it , the faith which Thou multiplied by means of it , the fasting which Thou obligated therein , the standing in prayer which Thou encouraged at its time , and the Night of Decree which Thou magnified therein , the night which is 'better than a thousand months .' Through it Thou hast preferred us over the other communities and through its excellence Thou hast chosen us to the exclusion of the people of the creeds . We fasted by Thy command in its daylight , we stood in prayer with Thy help in its night , presenting ourselves by its fasting and its standing to the mercy which Thou hast held up before us , and we found through it the means to Thy reward . And Thou art full of what is sought from Thee , munificent with what is asked of Thy bounty , and near to him who strives for Thy nearness . This month stood among us in a standing place of praise , accompanied us with the companionship of one approved , and profited us with the most excellent profit of the world's creatures . Then it parted from us at the completion of its time , the end of its term , and the fulfillment of its number . So we bid farewell to it with the farewell of one whose parting pains us , whose leaving fills us with gloom and loneliness , and to whom we have come to owe a safeguarded claim , an observed inviolability , and a discharged right . We say : Peace be upon thee , O greatest month of God ! O festival of His friends ! Peace be upon thee , O most noble of accompanying times ! O best of months in days and hours ! Peace be upon thee , month in which expectations come near and good works are scattered about ! Peace be upon thee , comrade who is great in worth when found and who torments through absence when lost , anticipated friend whose parting gives pain ! Peace be upon thee , familiar who brought comfort in coming , thus making happy , who left loneliness in going , thus giving anguish ! Peace be upon thee , neighbour in whom hearts became tender and sins became few ! Peace be upon thee , helper who aided against Satan , companion who made easy the paths of good-doing ! Peace be upon thee - How many became freedmen of God within thee ! How happy those who observed the respect due to thee ! Peace be upon thee - How many the sins thou erased ! How many the kinds of faults thou covered over ! Peace be upon thee - How drawn out wert thou for the sinners ! How awesome wert thou in the hearts of the faithful ! Peace be upon thee , month with which no days compete ! Peace be upon thee , month which is peace in all affairs ! Peace be upon thee , thou whose companionship is not disliked , thou whose friendly mixing is not blamed ! Peace be upon thee , just as thou hast entered upon us with blessings and cleansed us of the defilement of offenses ! Peace be upon thee - Thou art not bid farewell in annoyance nor is thy fasting left in weariness ! Peace be upon thee , object of seeking before thy time , object of sorrow before thy passing ! Peace be upon thee - How much evil was turned away from us through thee ! How much good flowed upon us because of thee ! Peace be upon thee and upon the Night of Decree which is 'better than a thousand months' ! Peace be upon thee - How much we craved thee yesterday ! How intensely we shall yearn for thee tomorrow ! Peace be upon thee and upon thy bounty which has now been made unlawful to us and upon thy blessings gone by which have now been stripped away from us ! O God , we are the people of this month . through it Thou hast ennobled us and given us success because of Thy kindness , while the wretched are ignorant of its time . Made unlawful to them is its bounty because of their wretchedness . Thou art the patron of the knowledge of it by which Thou hast preferred us , and its prescribed practices to which Thou hast guided us . We have undertaken , through Thy giving success , its fasting and its standing in prayer , but with shortcomings , and we have performed little of much . O God , so to Thee belongs praise , in admission of evil doing and confession of negligence , and to Thee belongs remorse firmly knitted in our hearts and seeking of pardon sincerely uttered by our tongues . Reward us , in spite of the neglect that befell us in this month , with a reward through which we may reach the bounty desired from it and win the varieties of its craved stores ! Make incumbent upon us Thy pardon for our falling short of Thy right in this month and make our lives which lie before us reach the coming month of Ramadan ! Once Thou hast made us reach it , help us perform the worship of which Thou art worthy , cause us to undertake the obedience which Thou deservest , and grant us righteous works that we may fulfill Thy right in these two months of the months of time . O God , as for the small and large sins which we have committed in this our month , the misdeeds into which we have fallen , and the offenses which we have earned purposefully or in forgetfulness wronging ourselves thereby or violating the respect due to others , bless Muhammad and his Household , cover us over with Thy covering , pardon us through Thy pardoning , place us not before the eyes of the gloaters because of that , stretch not toward us the tongues of the defamers , and employ us in that which will alleviate and expiate whatever Thou disapprovest from us within it through Thy clemency which does not run out , and Thy bounty which does not diminish ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , redress our being afflicted by our month , bless us in this day of our festival and our fast-breaking , make it one of the best of days that have passed over us , the greatest in attracting Thy pardon , and the most effacing toward sins , and forgive us our sins , both the concealed and the public ! O God , with the passing of this month make us pass forth from our offenses , with its departure make us depart from our evil deeds , and appoint us thereby among its most felicitous people , the most plentiful of them in portion , and the fullest of them in share ! O God , when any person observes this month as it should be observed , safeguars its inviolability as it should be safeguarded , attends to its bounds as they should be attended to , fears its misdeeds as they should be feared , or seeks nearness to Thee with any act of nearness-seeking which makes incumbent upon him Thy good pleasure and bends toward him Thy mercy , ive to us the of that from Thy wealth and bestow it upon us in multiples through Thy bounty , for Thy bounty does not diminish , Thy treasuries do not decrease but overflow , the mines of Thy beneficence are not exhausted , and Thy bestowal is the bestowal full of delight ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and write for us the like of the wages of him who fasted in it of worshiped Thee within it until the Day of Resurrection ! O God , we repent to Thee in our day of fast-breaking , which Thou hast appointed for the faithful a festival and a joy and for the people of Thy creed a time of assembly and gathering , from every misdeed we did , ill work we sent ahead , or evil thought we secretly conceived , the repentance of one who does not harbour a return to sin and who afterwards will not go back to offense , an unswerving repentance rid of doubt and wavering . So accept it from us , be pleased with us , and fix us within it ! O God , provide us with fear of the threatened punishment and yearning for the promised reward , so that we may find the pleasure of that for which we supplicate Thee and the sorrow of that from which we seek sanctuary in Thee ! And place us with Thee among the repenters , those upon whom Thou hast made Thy love obligatory and from whom Thou hast accepted the return to obeying Thee ! O Most Just of the just ! O God , show forbearance toward our fathers and our mothers and all the people of our religion , those who have gone and those who will pass by , until the Day of Resurrection ! O God , bless our prophet Muhammad and his Household , and Thou hast blessed Thy angels brought nigh , bless him and his Household , as Thou hast blessed Thy prophets sent out , bless him and his Household , as Thou hast blessed Thy righteous servants - and better than that , O Lord of the worlds ! - a blessing whose benediction will reach us , whose benefit will attain to us , and through which our supplication may be granted ! Thou art the most generous of those who are beseeched , the most sufficient of those in whom confidence is had , the most bestowing of those from whom bounty is asked , and Thou art powerful over everything !

قو عضده ، وراعه بعينك ، و احمه بحفظك ، و انصره بملائكتك ، و امدده بجندك الاغلب .و أقم به كتابك و حدودك و شرائعك و سنن رسولك ، - صلواتك اللهم - عليه و آله ، و أحي به ما اماته الظالمون من معالم دينك ، و اجل به صداء الجور عن طريقتك ، و أبن به الضراء من سبيلك ، و ازل به الناكبين عن صراطك ، و امحق به بغاة قصدك عوجا .و ألن جانبه لأوليائك ، و ابسط يده علي اعدائك ، و هب لنا رافته و رحمته و تعطفه و تحننه ، و اجعلنا له سامعين مطيعين ، و في رضاه ساعين ، و إلي نصرته و المدافعة عنه مكنفين ، و إليك و إلي رسولك - صلواتك اللهم عليه و آله - بذلك متقربين .اللهم و صل علي أوليائهم المعترفين بمقامهم ، المتبعين منهجهم ، المقتفين اثارهم ، المستمسكين بعروتهم ، المتمسكين بولايتهم المؤتمين بإمامتهم المسلمين لأمرهم ، المجتهدين في طاعتهم ، المنتظرين أيامهم ، المادين إليهم أعينهم ، الصلوات المباركات الزاكيات الناميات الغاديات الرائحات .و سلم عليهم و علي ارواحهم ، و اجمع علي التقوي أمرهم ، و أصلح لهم شؤونهم ، و تب عليهم ، إنك أنت التواب الرحيم ، و خير الغافرين ، و اجعلنا معهم في دار السلام برحمتك ، يا أرحم الراحمين .اللهم هذا يوم عرفة يوم شرفته و كرمته و عظمته ، نشرت فيه رحمتك و مننت فيه بعفوك ، و أجزلت فيه عطيتك ، و تفضلت به علي عبادك .اللهم و أنا عبدك الذي أنعمت عليه قبل خلقك له و بعد خلقك إياه ، فجعلته ممن هديته لدينك ، و وفقته لحقك ، و عصمته بحبلك ، و أدخلته في حزبك ، و ارشدته لموالاة أوليائك و معاداة أعدائك .ثم أمرته فلم يأتمر ، و زجرته فلم ينزجر ، و نهيته عن معصيتك فخالف أمرك إلي نهيك ، لا معاندة لك ، و لا استكبارا عليك ، بل دعاه هواه إلي ما زيلته و إلي ما حذرته ، و أعانه علي ذلك عدوك و عدوه ، فاقدم عليه عارفا بوعيدك ، راجيا لعفوك ، واثقا بتجاوزك ، و كان احق عبادك مع ما مننت عليه ألا يفعل .و ها أنا ذا بين يديك صاغرا ذليلا خاضعا خاشعا خائفا ، معترفا بعظيم من الذنوب تحملته ، و جليل من الخطايا اجترمته ، مستجيرا بصفحك ، لائذا برحمتك ، موقنا أنه لا يجيرني منك مجير ، و لا يمنعني منك مانع .فعد علي بما تعود به علي من اقترف من تغمدك ، وجد علي بما تجود به علي من ألقي بيده إليك من عفوك ، و امنن علي بما لا يتعاظمك أن تمن به علي من أملك من غفرانك .و اجعل لي في هذا اليوم نصيبا أنال به حظا من رضوانك ، و لا تردني صفرا مما ينقلب به المتعبدون لك من عبادك .و إني و إن لم اقدم ما قدموه من الصالحات فقد قدمت توحيدك و نفي الاضداد و الانداد و الاشباه عنك ، و أتيتك من الابواب التي أمرت أن تؤتي منها ، و تقربت إليك بما لا يقرب أحد منك إلا بالتقرب به .ثم أتبعت ذلك بالانابة إليك ، و التذلل و الاستكانة لك ، و حسن الظن بك ، و الثقة بما عندك ، و شفعته برجائك الذي قل ما يخيب عليه راجيك .و سألتك مسئلة الحقير الذليل البائس الفقير الخائف المستجير ، و مع ذلك خيفة و تضرعا و تعوذا و تلوذا ، لا مستطيلا بتكبر المتكبرين ، و لا متعاليا بدالة المطيعين ، و لا مستطيلا بشفاعة الشافعين .و أنا بعد أقل الاقلين ، و أذل الاذلين ، و مثل الذرة أو دونها ، فيا من لم يعاجل المسيئين ، و لا ينده المترفين ، و يا من يمن باقالة العاثرين ، و يتفضل بانظار الخاطئين .أنا المسيئي المعترف الخاطئ العاثر .أنا الذي أقدم عليك مجترئا .أنا الذي عصاك متعمدا .أنا الذي استخفي من عبادك و بارزك .أنا الذي هاب عبادك و أمنك .أنا الذي لم يرهب سطوتك ، و لم يخف بأسك .أنا الجاني علي نفسه .أنا المرتهن ببليته .أنا القليل الحياء .أنا الطويل العناء .بحق من انتجبت من خلقك ، و بمن اصطفيته لنفسك ، بحق من اخترت من بريتك ، و من اجتبيت لشأنك ، بحق من وصلت طاعته بطاعتك ، و من جعلت معصيته كمعصيتك ، بحق من قرنت موالاته بموالاتك ، و من نطت معاداته بمعاداتك ، تغمدني في يومي هذا بما تتغمد به من جار إليك متنصلا ، و عاذ باستغفارك تائبا .و تولني بما تتولي به أهل طاعتك و الزلفي لديك و المكانة منك .و توحدني بما تتوحد به من وفي بعهدك ، و أتعب نفسه في ذاتك ، و أجهدها في مرضاتك .و لا تؤاخذني بتفريطي في جنبك ، و تعدي طوري في حدودك ، و مجاوزة أحكامك .و لا تستدرجني باملائك لي استدراج من منعني خير ما عنده و لم يشركك في حلول نعمته بي .و نبهني من رقدة الغافلين ، و سنة المسرفين ، و نعسة المخذولين .و خذ بقلبي إلي ما استعملت به القانتين ، و استعبدت به المتعبدين ، و استنقذت به المتهاونين .و أعذني مما يباعدني عنك ، و يحول بيني و بين حظي منك ، و يصدني عما احاول لديك .و سهل لي مسلك الخيرات إليك و المسابقة إليها من حيث أمرت ، و المشاحة فيها علي ما اردت .و لا تمحقني فيمن تمحق من المستخفين بما اوعدت .و لا تهلكني مع من تهلك من المتعرضين لمقتك .و لا تتبرني فيمن تتبر من المنحرفين عن سبلك .و نجني من غمرات الفتنة ، و خلصني من لهوات البلوي ، و أجرني من أخذ الاملاء .و حل بيني و بين عدو يضلني ، و هوي يوبقني ، و منقصة ترهقني .و لا تعرض عني إعراض من لا ترضي عنه بعد غضبك .و لا تؤيسني من الامل فيك فيغلب علي القنوط من رحمتك .و لا تمنحني بما لا طاقة لي به فتبهظني مما تحملنيه من فضل محبتك .و لا ترسلني من يدك إرسال من لا خير فيه ، و لا حاجة بك اليه ، و لا إنابة له .و لا ترم بي رمي من سقط من عين رعايتك ، و من اشتمل عليه الخزي من عندك ، بل خذ بيدي من سقطة المتردين ، و وهلة المتعسفين ، و زلة المغرورين ، و ورطة الهالكين .و عافني مما ابتليت ، به طبقات عبيدك و إمائك ، و بلغني مبالغ من عنيت به ، و أنعمت عليه ، و رضيت عنه ، فاعشته حميدا ، و توفيته سعيدا .و طوقني طوق الاقلاع عما يحبط الحسنات ، و يذهب بالبركات .و أشعر قلبي الازدجار عن قبائح السيئات و فواضح الحوبات .و لا تشغلني بما لا ادركه إلا بك عما لا يرضيك عني غيره .و انزع من قلبي حب دنيا دنية تنهي عما عندك ، و تصد عن ابتغاء الوسيلة اليك ، و تذهل عن التقرب منك .و زين لي التفرد بمناجاتك بالليل و النهار .و هب لي عصمة تدنيني من خشيتك ، و تقطعني عن ركوب محارمك ، و تفكني من اسر العظائم .و هب لي التطهير من دنس العصيان ، و أذهب عني درن الخطايا ، و سربلني بسربال عافيتك ، و ردني رداء معافاتك ، و جللني سوابغ نعمائك ، و ظاهر لدي فضلك و طولك .و أيدني بتوفيقك و تسديدك ، و اعني علي صالح النية ، و مرضي القول ، و مستحسن العمل ، و لا تكلني إلي حولي و قوتي دون حولك و قوتك .و لا تخزني يوم تبعثني للقائك ، و لا تفضحني بين يدي أوليائك ، و لا تنسني ذكرك ، و لا تذهب عني شكرك ، بل الزمنيه في أحوال السهو عند غفلات الجاهلين لالائك ، و اوزعني أن أثني بما أوليتنيه ، و أعترف بما أسديته إلي .و اجعل رغبتي إليك فوق رغبة الراغبين ، و حمدي إياك فوق حمد الحامدين .و لا تخذلني عند فاقتي إليك و لا تهلكني بما أسديته إليك ، و لا تجبهني بما جبهت به المعاندين لك ، فإني لك مسلم ، أعلم أن الحجة لك ، و أنك أولي بالفضل ، و أعود بالاحسان ، و اهل التقوي ، و اهل المغفرة ، و أنك بأن تعفو أولي منك بأن تعاقب ، و أنك بأن تستر أقرب منك إلي أن تشهر .فاحيني حيوة طيبة تنتظم بما اريد ، و تبلغ ما احب من حيث لا اتي ما تكره ، و لا ارتكب ما نهيت عنه ، و أمتني ميتة من يسعي نوره بين يديه و عن يمينه .و ذللني بين يديك ، و أعزني عند خلقك ، وضعني إذا خلوت بك ، و ارفعني بين عبادك ، و أغنني عمن هو غني عني ، و زدني اليك فاقة و فقرا .و اعذني من شماتة الاعداء ، و من حلول البلاء ، و من الذل و العناء ، تغمدني فيما اطلعت عليه مني بما يتغمد به القادر علي البطش لولا حلمه ، و الاخذ علي الجريرة لولا اناته .و إذا اردت بقوم فتنة أو سوء فنجني منها لواذا بك ، و إذ لم تقمني مقام فضيحة في دنياك فلا تقمني مثله في آخرتك .و اشفع لي اوائل مننك باواخرها و قديم فوائدك بحوادثها ، و لا تمدد لي مدا يقسو معه قلبي و لا تقرعني قارعة يذهب لها بهائي ، و لا تسمني خسيسة يصغر لها قدري و لا نقيصة يجهل من اجلها مكاني .و لا ترعني روعة ابلس بها ، و لا خيفة اوجس دونها ، اجعل هيبتي في وعيدك ، و حذري من اعذارك و انذارك ، و رهبتي عند تلاوة اياتك .و اعمر ليلي بايقاظي فيه لعبادتك ، و تفردي بالتهجد لك ، و تجردي بسكوني اليك ، و انزال حوائجي بك ، و منازلتي اياك في فكاك رقبتي من نارك ، و اجارتي مما فيه اهلها من عذابك .و لا تذرني في طغياني عامها ، و لا في غمرتي ساهيا حتي حين ، و لا تجعلني عظة لمن اتعظ و لا نكالا لمن اعتبر ، و لا فتنة لمن نظر ، و لا تمكر بي فيمن تمكر به ، و لا تستبدل بي غيري ، و لا تغير لي اسما ، و لا تبدل لي جسما ، و لا تتخذني هزوا لخلقك ، و لا سخريا لك ، و لا تبعا إلا لمرضاتك ، و لا ممتهنا إلا بالانتقام لك .و اوجدني برد عفوك ، و حلاوة رحمتك و روحك و ريحانك ، و جنة نعيمك ، و اذقني طعم الفراغ لما تحب بسعة من سعتك ، و الاجتهاد فيما يزلف لديك و عندك و اتحفني بتحفة من تحفاتك .و اجعل تجارتي رابحة ، و كرتي غير خاسرة و اخفني مقامك ، و شوقني لقاءك ، و تب علي توبه نصوحا لا تبق معها ذنوبا صغيرة و لا كبيرة ، و لا تذر معها علانية و لا سريرة .و انزع الغل من صدري للمؤمنين ، و اعطف بقلبي علي الخاشعين ، و كن لي كما تكون للصالحين ، و حلني حلية المتقين ، و اجعل لي لسان صدق في الغابرين ، و ذكرا ناميا في الاخرين ، و واف بي عرصة الاولين .و تمم سبوغ نعمتك علي ، و ظاهر كراماتها لدي ، املأ من فوائدك يدي ، و سق كرائم مواهبك الي ، و جاور بي الاطيبين من اوليائك في الجنان التي زينتها لاصفيائك ، و جللني شرائف نحلك في المقامات المعدة لاحبائك .و اجعل لي عندك مقيلا اوي اليه مطمئنا ، و مثابة اتبوؤها ، و اقر عينا ، و لا تقايسني بعظيمات الجرائر ، و لا تهلكني يوم تبلي السرائر ، و اذل عني كل شك و شبهة ، و اجعل لي في الحق طريقا من كل رحمة ، و اجزل لي قسم المواهب من نوالك ، و وفر علي حظوظ الاحسان من افضالك .و اجعل قلبي واثقا بما عندك ، و همي مستفرغا لما هو لك ، و استعملني بما تستعمل به خالصتك ، و اشرب قلبي عند ذهول العقول طاعتك ، و اجمع لي الغني و العفاف و الدعة و المعافات و الصحة و السعة و الطمأنينة و العافية .و لا تحبط حسناتي بما يشوبها من معصيتك ، و لا خلواتي بما يعرض لي من نزغات فتنتك ، و صن وجهي عن الطلب الي احد من العالمين ، و ذبني عن التماس ما عند الفاسقين .و لا تجعلني للظالمين ظهيرا ، و لا لهم علي محو كتابك يدا و نصيرا ، و حطني من حيث لا اعلم حياطة تقيني بها ، وافتح لي ابواب توبتك و رحمتك و رأفتك و رزقك الواسع ، إني اليك من الراغبين و اتمم لي إنعامك ، إنك خير المنعمين .و اجعل باقي عمري في الحج و العمرة ابتغاء وجهك ، يا رب العالمين ، و صلي الله علي محمد و آله الطيبين الطاهرين ، و السلام عليه و عليهم ابد الابدين

My Lord , bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad , the distinguished , the chosen , the honoured , the brought nigh , with the most excellent of Thy blessings , benedict him with the most complete of Thy benedictions , and have mercy upon him with the most enjoyable of Thy mercies ! My Lord , bless Muhammad and his Household with a fruitful blessing , more fruitful than which there is no blessing ! Bless him with a growing blessing , more growing than which there is no blessing ! And bless him with a pleasing blessing , beyond which there is no blessing ! My Lord , bless Muhammad and his Household with a blessing which will please him and increase him good pleasure ! Bless him with a blessing which will please Thee and increase Thy good pleasure toward him ! And bless him with a blessing through other than which Thou wilt not be pleased for him , and for which Thou seest no one else worthy ! My Lord , bless Muhammad and his Household with a blessing which will pass beyond Thy good pleasure , be continuous in its continuity through Thy subsistence , and never be spent , just as Thy words will never be spent ! My Lord , bless Muhammad and his Household with a blessing which will tie together the blessings of Thy angels , Thy prophets , Thy messengers , and those who obey Thee , comprise the blessings of Thy servants , jinn or mankind , and those worthy of Thy response , and bring together the blessings of every one of the kinds of Thy creatures which Thou hast sown and authored ! My Lord , bless Muhammad and his Household with a blessing which will encompass every blessing , bygone and new ! Bless him and his Household with a blessing which is pleasing to Thee and everyone below Thee and will bring forth with all that a blessing with which Thou wilt multiply those blessings and increase them through the recurrence of days with an increasing in multiples which none can count but Thou ! My Lord , bless Muhammad and his Household , those whom Thou hast chosen for Thy command , appointed the treasurers of Thy knowledge , the guardians of Thy religion , Thy vicegerents in Thy earth , and Thy arguments against Thy servants , purified from uncleanness and defilement through a purification by Thy desire , and made them mediation to Thee and the road to Thy Garden ! My Lord , bless Muhammad and his Household with a blessing which makes plentiful Thy gifts and generosity , perfects for them Thy bestowals and awards , and fills out their share of Thy kindly acts and benefits ! My Lord , bless him and his Household with a blessing whose first has no term , whose term has no limit , and whose last has no utmost end ! My Lord , bless them to the weight of Thy Throne and all below it , the amount that fills the heavens and all above them , the number of Thy earths and all below and between them , a blessing that will bring them near to Thee in proximity , please Thee and them , and be joined to its likes forever ! O God , surely Thou hast confirmed Thy religion in all times with an Imam whom Thou hast set up as a guidepost to Thy servants and a lighthouse in Thy lands , after his cord has been joined to Thy cord ! Thou hast appointed him the means to Thy good pleasure , made obeying him obligatory , cautioned against disobeying him , and commanded following his commands , abandoning his prohibitions , and that no forward-goer go ahead of him or back-keeper keep back from him ! So he is the preservation of the shelter-seekers , the cave of the faithful , the handhold of the adherents , and the radiance of the worlds ! O God , so inspire Thy guardian to give thanks for that in which Thou hast favoured him , inspire us with the like concerning him , grant him an authority from Thee to help him , open for him an easy opening , aid him with Thy mightiest pillar , brace up his back , strengthen his arm , guard him with Thy eye , defend him with Thy safeguarding , help him with Thy angels , and assist him with Thy most victorious troops ! Through him establish 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 ! Make his side mild toward Thy friends , stretch forth his hand over Thy enemies , give us his clemency , his mercy , his tenderness , his sympathy , and make us his hearers and obeyers , strivers toward his good pleasure , assistants in helping him and defending him , and brought near through that to Thee and Thy Messenger ( Thy blessings , O God , be upon him and his Household ) . O God , and bless the 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 ! 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-compassionate' and the Best of forgivers , and place us with them in the Abode of Peace , through Thy mercy , O Most Merciful of the merciful ! 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 . O God , I am Thy servant whom Thou favoured before creating him and after creating him . Thou madest him one of those whom Thou guided to Thy religion , gavest success in fulfilling Thy right , preserved through Thy cord , included within Thy party , and directed aright to befriend Thy friends and show enmity to Thine enemies . 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 caprice called 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 . Here I am , then , before Thee ; despised , lowly , humble , abject , fearful , confessing the dreadful sins with which I am burdened and 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 Thee and no withholder will hold me back from Thee . So act kindly toward me , just as Thou actest kindly by Thy shielding him who commits sins , be munificent toward me , just as Thou art munificent by pardoning him who throws himself before Thee , and show kindness to me , just as it is nothing great for Thee to show kindness by forgiving him who expectantly hopes in Thee ! Appoint for me in this day an allotment through which I may attain a share of Thy good pleasure , and send me not back destitute of that with which Thy worshipers return from among Thy servants ! Though I have not forwarded the righteous deeds which they have forwarded , I have forwarded the profession of Thy Unity and the negation from Thee of opposites , rivals , and likenesses , I have come to Thee by the gateways by which Thou hast commanded that people come , and I have sought nearness to Thee through that without seeking nearness through which none gains nearness to Thee . Then I followed all this with repeated turning toward Thee , lowliness and abasement before Thee , opinion of Thee , and trust in what is with Thee ; and to that I coupled hope in Thee , since the one who hopes in Thee is seldom disappointed ! I asked Thee with the asking of one vile , lowly , pitiful , poor , fearful , seeking sanctuary ; all that in fear and pleading seeking 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 . For I am still the least of the least and the lowliest of the lowly , like a dust mote or less ! O He who does not hurry the evildoers nor restrain those living in ease ! O He who shows kindness through releasing the stumblers and gratuitous bounty through respiting the offenders ! I am the evildoer , the confessor , the offender , the tumbler ! I am he who was audacious toward Thee as one insolent ! I am he who disobeyed Thee with forethought ! I am he who hid myself from Thy servants and blatantly showed myself to Thee ! I am he who was awed by Thy servants and felt secure from Thee ! I am he who dreaded not Thy penalty and feared not Thy severity ! I am the offender against himself ! I am the hostage to his own affliction ! I am short in shame ! I am long in suffering ! By the right of him whom Thou hast distinguished among Thy creation and by him whom Thou hast chosen for Thyself ! By the right of him whom Thou hast selected from among Thy creatures and by him whom Thou hast picked for 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 friendship and by him whose enmity Thou hast linked to Thine enmity ! Shield me in this day of mine , by that through which Thou shieldest him who prays fervently to Thee while disavowing and him who seeks refuge in Thy forgiveness while repenting ! Attend to me with that through which Thou attendest to the people of obedience toward Thee , proximity to Thee , and rank with Thee ! Single me out , as Thou singlest him out who fulfills Thy covenant , fatigues himself for Thy sake alone , and exerts himself in Thy good pleasure ! Take me not to task for my neglect in respect to Thee , my transgressing the limit in Thy bounds , and stepping outside Thy ordinances ! Draw me not on little by little by granting me a respite , like the drawing on little by little of him who withholds from me the good he has by not sharing with Thee in letting favour down upon me ! Arouse me from the sleep of the heedless , the slumber of the prodigal , and the dozing of the forsaken ! Take my heart to that in which Thou hast employed the devout , enthralled the worshipers , and rescued the remiss ! Give me refuge from that which will keep me far from Thee , come between me and my share from Thee , and bar me from that which I strive for in Thee ! Make easy for me the road of good deeds toward Thee ; racing to them from where Thou hast commanded , and coveting them as Thou desirest ! Efface me not along with those whom Thou effacest for thinking lightly of what Thou hast promised ! Destroy me not with those whom Thou destroyest for exposing themselves to Thy hate ! Annihilate me not among those whom Thou annihilatest for deviating from Thy roads ! Deliver me from the floods of trial , save me from the gullets of affliction , and grant me sanctuary from being seized by respite ! Come between me and the enemy who misguides me , the caprice which ruins me , and the failing which overcomes me ! Turn not away from me with the turning away in wrath from one with whom Thou art not pleased ! Let me not lose heart in expecting from Thee , lest I be overcome by despair of Thy mercy ! Grant me not that which I cannot endure , lest Thou weighest me down with the surplus of Thy love which Thou loadest upon me ! 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 ) ! Cast me not with the casting of him who has fallen from the eye of Thy regard and been wrapped in degradation from Thee ! Rather take my hand ( and save me ) from the falling of the stumblers , the disquiet of the deviators , the slip of those deluded , and the plight of the perishers ! Release me from that with which Thou hast afflicted the ranks of Thy servants and handmaids and make me reach the utmost degrees of him about whom Thou art concerned , towards whom Thou showest favour , and with whom Thou art pleased , so that Thou lettest him live as one praiseworthy and takest him to Thee as one felicitous ! Collar me with the collar of abstaining from that which makes good deeds fail and takes away blessings ! Impart to my heart restraint before ugly works of evil and disgraceful misdeeds ! Divert me not by that which I cannot reach except through Thee from doing that which alone makes Thee pleased with me ! 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 ! Embellish for me solitude in prayer whispered to Thee by night and by day ! Give me a preservation which will bring me close to dread of Thee , cut me off from committing things made unlawful by Thee , and spare me from captivation by dreadful sins ! 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 ! Strengthen me with Thy giving success and Thy pointing the right way , help me toward righteous intention , pleasing words , and approved works , and entrust me not to my force and my strength in place of Thy force and Thy strength ! 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 inattention when the ignorant are heedless of Thy boons , and inspire me to laud what Thou hast done for me and confess to what Thou hast conferred upon me ! Place my beseeching Thee above the beseeching of the beseechers and my praise of Thee above the praise of the praisers ! 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 ! Let me live an agreeable life that will tie together what I want and reach what I love while I not bring what Thou dislikest and not commit what Thou hast prohibited ; and make me die the death of him whose light runs before him and on his right hand ! Abase me before Thyself and exalt me before Thy creatures , lower me when I am alone with Thee and raise me among Thy servants , free me from need for him who has no need of me and increase me in neediness and poverty toward Thee ! Give me refuge from the gloating of enemies , the arrival of affliction , lowliness and suffering ! Shield me in what Thou seest from me , the shielding of him who would have power over violence had he no clemency , and would seize for misdeeds had he no lack of haste ! 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 ! Couple for me the beginnings of Thy kindnesses with their ends and 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 striking that will take away my radiance ! Visit me not with a meanness that will diminish my worth or a deficiency that will keep my rank unknown ! Frighten me not with a fright by which I will despair or a terror through which I will dread , but make me stand in awe of Thy threat , take precautions against Thy leaving no excuses and Thy warning , and tremble at the recitation of Thy verses ! Fill my night with life by keeping me awake therein for worshiping Thee , solitude with vigil for Thee , exclusive devotion to reliance upon Thee , setting my needs before Thee , and imploring that Thou wilt set my neck free from the Fire and grant me sanctuary from Thy chastisement , within which its inhabitants dwell ! Leave me not blindly wandering in my insolence or inattentive in my perplexity for a time , make me not an 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 not a 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 ! Let me find the coolness of Thy pardon and 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 lovest and striving in what brings about proximity with Thee and to Thee , and give me a gift from among Thy gifts ! Make my commerce profitable and 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 ! 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 me a goodly report among those yet to come and a growing remembrance among the later folk , and take me to the plain of those who came first ! 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 friends in the Gardens which Thou hast adorned for Thy chosen , and wrap me in Thy noble presents in the stations prepared for Thy beloveds ! Appoint for me a resting place with Thee where I may seek haven in serenity , and a resort to which I may revert and rest my eyes , weigh not against me my dreadful misdeeds , destroy me not on 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 ! Make my heart trust in what is with Thee and 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 me independence , continence , ease , release , health , plenty , tranquility , and well-being ! Make not fail my good deeds through my disobedience that stains them or 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 begging for that which is with the ungodly ! 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 ! Place the rest of my life in the 'hajj' and the 'umra' seeking 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 !

اللهم هذا يوم مبارك ميمون ، و المسلمون فيه مجتمعون في اقطار ارضك ، يشهد السائل منهم و الطالب و الراغب و الراهب و أنت الناظر في حوائجهم ، فأسالك بجودك و كرمك و هوان ما سألتك عليك أن تصلي علي محمد و آله .و أسالك اللهم ربنا بأن لك الملك ، و لك الحمد لا إله إلا أنت ، الحليم الكريم الحنان المنان ذو الجلال و الاكرام ، بديع السموات و الارض ، مهما قسمت بين عبادك المؤمنين : من خير أو عافية أو بركة أو هدي أو عمل بطاعتك ، أو خير تمن به عليهم تهديهم به اليك ، أو ترفع لهم عندك درجة ، أو تعطيهم به خيرا من خير الدنيا و الاخرة أن توفر حظي و نصيبي منه .و أسالك اللهم بأن لك الملك و الحمد ، لا إله إلا أنت ، أن تصلي علي محمد عبدك و رسولك و جيبك و صفوتك ، و خيرتك من خلقك ، و علي آل محمد الابرار الطاهرين الاخيار ، صلوة لا يقوي علي احصائها إلا أنت ، و إن تشركنا في صالح من دعاك في هذا اليوم من عبادك المؤمنين ، يا رب العالمين ، و أن تغفر لنا و لهم ، إنك علي كل شي قدير .اللهم اليك تعمدت بحاجتي ، و بك انزلت اليوم فقري و فاقتي و مسكنتي ، و إني بمغفرتك و رحمتك اوثق مني بعملي ، و لمغفرتك و رحمتك اوسع من ذنوبي ، فصل علي محمد و آل محمد ، و تول قضاء كل حاجة هي لي بقدرتك عليها ، و تيسير ذلك عليك ، و بفقري اليك ، و غناك عني ، فإني لم اصب خيرا قط إلا منك ، و لم يصرف عني سوء قط احد غيرك و لا ارجو لامر اخرتي و دنياي سواك .اللهم من تهيأ و تعبا و اعد و استعد لوفادة الي مخلوق رجاء رفده و نوافله و طلب نيله و جائزته ، فاليك يا مولاي كانت اليوم تهيئتي و تعبئتي و اعدادي و استعدادي رجاء عفوك و رفدك و طلب نيلك و جائزتك .اللهم فصل علي محمد و آل محمد ، و لا تخيب اليوم ذلك من رجائي ، يا من لا يحفيه سائل و لا ينقصه نائل ، فإني لم اتك ثقة مني بعمل صالح قدمته ، و لا شفاعة مخلوق رجوته إلا شفاعة محمد و اهل بيته عليه و عليهم سلامك .اتيتك مقرا بالجرم و الاساءة الي نفسي ، اتيتك ، ارجو عظيم عفوك الذي عفوت به عن الخاطئين ، ثم لم يمنعك طول عكوفهم علي عظيم الجرم أن عدت عليهم بالرحمة و المغفرة .فيا من رحمته واسعة ، و عفوه عظيم ، يا عظيم يا عظيم ، يا كريم يا كريم ، صل علي محمد و آل محمد و عد علي برحمتك ، و تعطف علي بفضلك ، و توسع علي بمغفرتك .اللهم إن هذا المقام لخلفائك ، و اصفيائك و مواضع امنائك في الدرجة الرفيعة التي اختصصتهم بها قد ابتزوها ، و أنت المقدر لذلك لا يغالب امرك ، و لا يجاوز المحتوم من تدبيرك كيف شئت و أني شئت و لما انت اعلم به غيرمتهم علي خلقك و لا لارادتك حتي عاد صفوتك و خلفاؤك مغلوبين مقهورين مبتزين يرون حكمك مبدلا ، و كتابك منبوذا ، و فرائضك محرفة عن جهات اشراعك ، و سنن نبيك ، متروكة .اللهم العن اعداءهم من الاولين و الاخرين ، و من رضي بفعالهم و اشياعهم و اتباعهم .اللهم صل علي محمد و آل محمد ، إنك حميد مجيد ، كصلواتك و بركاتك و تحياتك علي اصفيائك ابراهيم و آل ابراهيم ، و عجل الفرج و الروح و النصرة و التمكين و التاييد لهم .اللهم و اجعلني من اهل التوحيد و الايمان بك ، و التصديق برسولك ، و الائمة الذين حتمت طاعتهم ممن يجري ذلك به و علي يديه ، امين رب العالمين .اللهم ليس يرد غضبك إلا حلمك ، و لا يرد سخطك إلا عفوك ، و لا يجير من عقابك إلا رحمتك ، و لا ينجيني منك إلا التضرع اليك و بين يديك ، فصل علي محمد و آل محمد و هب لنا - يا الهي - من لدنك فرجا بالقدرة التي بها تحيي اموات العباد ، و بها تنشر ميت البلاد .و لا تهلكني - يا الهي - غما حتي تستجيب لي ، و تعرفني الاجابة في دعائي و اذقني طعم العافية الي منتهي اجلي ، و لا تشمت بي عدوي و لا تمكنه من عنقي ، و لا تسلطه علي .الهي إن رفعتني فمن ذا الذي يضعني ، و إن وضعتني فمن ذا الذي يرفعني ، و إن اكرمتني فمن ذا الذي يهينني ، و إن اهنتني فمن ذا الذي يكرمني ، و إن عذبتني فمن ذا الذي يرحمني ، و إن اهلكتني فمن ذا الذي يعرض لك في عبدك ، أو يسألك عن امره ، و قد علمت أنه ليس في حكمك ظلم و لا في نقمتك عجلة ، و إنما يعجل من يخاف الفوت ، و إنما يحتاج الي الظلم الضعيف ، و قد تعاليت - يا الهي - عن ذلك علوا كبيرا .اللهم صل علي محمد و آل محمد ، و لا تجعلني للبلاء غرضا ، و لا لنقمتك نصبا ، و مهلني ، و نفسني ، و اقلني عثرتي ، و لا تبتليني ببلاء علي اثر بلاء فقد تري ضعفي و قلة حيلتي و تضرعي اليك .اعوذ بك اللهم اليوم من غضبك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اعذني .و استجير بك اليوم من سخطك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اجرني .و أسألك امنا من عذابك فصل علي محمد و آله ، و امني .و استهديك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اهدني .واستنصرك ، فصل محمد و آله ، وانصرني .و استرحمك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و ارحمني .و استكفيك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اكفني .و استرزقك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و ارزقني .و استعينك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اعني .و استغفرك لما سلف من ذنوبي ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اغفر لي .و استعصمك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اعصمني ، فإني لن اعود لشي ء كرهته مني إن شئت ذلك .يا رب يا رب ، يا حنان يا منان ، يا ذا الجلال و الاكرام ، صل علي محمد و آله ، و استجب لي جميع ما سألتك و طلبت اليك و رغبت فيه اليك ، و أرده و قدره و اقضه و أمضه ، و خرلي فيما تقضي منه ، و بارك لي في ذلك ، و تفضل علي به ، و اسعدني بما تعطيني منه ، و زدني من فضلك و سعة ما عندك ، فإنك واسع كريم ، و صل ذلك بخير الاخرة و نعيمها ، يا ارحم الراحمين .


48 - His Supplication on the Day of Sacrifice and on Friday O God , this is a blessed and fortunate day , within which the Muslims are gathered in the quarters of Thy earth . Among them are present the asker , the seeker , the beseecher , the fearful , while Thou art looking upon their needs . So I ask Thee by Thy munificence and generosity - and easy upon Thee is what I ask Thee ! - that Thou blessest Muhammad and his Household . And I ask Thee , O God , our Lord - for Thine is the kingdom and Thine is the praise , there is no god but Thou , the Clement , the Generous , the All-loving , the All-kind , Possessor of majesty and munificence , Originator of the heavens and the earth - whenever Thou apportionest among Thy faithful servants good , well-being , blessing , guidance , works in obedience to Thee , or good through which Thou art kind to them by guiding them to Thee , or raisest them up a degree with Thee , or givest them the good of this world or the next , that Thou givest me amply my share and allotment of it . And I ask Thee , O God - for Thine is the kingdom and the praise ; there is no god but Thou - that Thou blessest Muhammad , Thy servant and Thy messenger , Thy beloved and Thy selected friend , Thy chosen from among Thy creation , and the Household of Muhammad , the pious , the pure , the chosen , with a blessing no one has strength to count but Thou , that Thou associatest us with the most righteous of Thy faithful servants who supplicate Thee today - O Lord of the worlds ! - and that Thou forgivest us and them ! 'Surely Thou art powerful over everything .' O God , toward Thee I aim with my need and before Thee I set my poverty , my neediness , my misery , for I have more trust in Thy forgiveness and Thy mercy than in my own works . Thy forgiveness and Thy mercy are vaster than my sins . So bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad , and attend to the accomplishment of every need of mine through Thy power over it , its easiness for Thee , my poverty toward Thee , and Thy freedom from need for me ! I will come upon no good whatsoever unless through Thee , no one other than Thou will turn any evil away from me , and I have hope in none but Thee for my affair in the next world and in this world . O God , if anyone has ever arranged , made ready , prepared , and drawn himself up to be received by a creature in hope of his support and awards then today toward Thee , my Master , is my arrangement , my making ready , my preparation , and my drawing up , in hope of Thy pardon and support and in seeking to attain to Thee and Thy prize . O God , so bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad and disappoint not my hope in that today ! O He who is not troubled by those who ask and diminished by those who attain their desire ! I come not before Thee trusting in a righteous work I have sent ahead , nor in the intercession of any creature in whom I have hope , except the intercession of Muhammad and the Folk of his House ( upon him and upon them be Thy peace ) . I come to Thee admitting sin and evildoing toward myself . I come to Thee hoping for Thy abounding pardon through which Thou hast pardoned the offenders , while their long persistence in dreadful sin did not prevent Thee from returning toward them with mercy and forgiveness ! O He whose mercy is wide and whose pardon is abounding ! O All-mighty ! O All-mighty ! O All-generous ! O All-generous ! Bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad , return toward me through Thy mercy , be tender toward me through Thy bounty , and spread out Thy forgiveness upon me ! O God , this station belongs to Thy vicegerents , Thy chosen , while the places of Thy trusted ones in the elevated degree which Thou hast singled out for them have been forcibly stripped ! But Thou art the Ordainer of that - Thy command is not overcome , the inevitable in Thy governing is not overstepped ! However Thou willest and whenever Thou willest ! In that which Thou knowest best , Thou art not accused for Thy creation or Thy will ! Then Thy selected friends , Thy vicegerents , were overcome , vanquished , forcibly stripped ; they see Thy decree replaced , Thy Book discarded , Thy obligations distorted from the aims of Thy laws , and the 'Sunna' of Thy Prophet abandoned ! O God , curse their enemies among those of old and the later folk , and all those pleased with their acts , and their adherents and followers ! O God , bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad ( surely Thou art All-laudable , All-glorious ) like Thy blessing , benedictions , and salutations upon Thy chosen Abraham and the people of Abraham ! And hasten for them relief , ease , help , strengthening , and confirmation ! O God , and make me one of the people who profess Thy Unity , have faith in Thee , and attest to Thy Messenger and the Imams toward whom Thou hast enjoined obedience , and one of those through whom and at whose hands this takes place ! Amen , Lord of the worlds ! O God , nothing repels Thy wrath but Thy clemency , nothing repels Thy displeasure but Thy pardon , nothing grants sanctuary from Thy punishment but Thy mercy , and nothing will deliver me from Thee except pleading to Thee before Thee , so blees Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad , and give us on Thy part , my God , relief by means of the power , through which Thou bringest the dead servants to life and revivest the dead lands . Destroy me not through gloom , my God , before Thou respondest to me and givest me the knowledge of Thy response to my supplication ! Let me taste the flavour of well-being to the end of my term ! And let not my enemy gloat over me , place not my neck in his power , and give him not authority over me ! My God , if Thou raisest me up , who is there to push me down ? If Thou pushest me down , who is there to raise me up ? If Thou honourest me , who is there to humiliate me ? If Thou humiliatest me , who is there to honour me ? If Thou chastisest me , who is there to have mercy upon me ? If Thou destroyest me , who is there to stand up for Thy servant against Thee or ask Thee about his affair ? But I know that there is no wrong in Thy decree and no hurry in Thy vengeance . He alone hurries who fears to miss , and only the weak needs to wrong , But Thou art exalted , my God , high indeed above all that ! O God , bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad , make me not the target of affliction nor the object of Thy vengeance , respite me , comfort me , release me from my stumble , and afflict me not with an affliction in the wake of an affliction , for Thou hast seen my frailty , the paucity of my stratagems , and my pleading to Thee ! I seek refuge in Thee today , my God , from Thy wrath , so bless Muhammad and his Household , and give me refuge ! I seek sanctuary in Thee today from Thy displeasure , so bless Muhammad and his Household , and give me sanctuary ! I ask Thee security from Thy chastisement , so bless Muhammad and his Household , and give me security ! I seek guidance from Thee , so bless Muhammad and his Household and guide me ! I seek help from Thee , so bless Muhammad and his Household and help me ! I ask Thee for mercy , so bless Muhammad and his Household and have mercy upon me ! I seek sufficiency from Thee , so bless Muhammad and his Household and suffice me ! I seek provision from Thee , so bless Muhammad and his Household and provide for me ! I seek assistance from Thee , so bless Muhammad and his Household and assist me ! I pray forgiveness for my past sins , so bless Muhammad and his Household and forgive me ! I ask Thee to preserve me from sin , so bless Muhammad and his Household and preserve me , for I will not return to anything Thou dislikest from me , if Thou willest that ! My Lord ! My Lord ! O All-loving ! O All-kind ! O Possessor of majesty and munificence ! Bless Muhammad and his Household , and grant me everything that I ask from Thee , seek from Thee , and beseech from Thee ! Will it , ordain it , decree it , and accomplish it ! Give me good in that of it which Thou decreest ! Bless me in that , be gratuitously bountiful toward me through it , make me happy in that of it which Thou givest to me , and increase me in Thy bounty and the plenty of what is with Thee , for Thou art Boundless , Generous ! And link that to the good and the bliss of the next world , O Most Merciful of the merciful ! THEN YOU SUPPLICATE AS SEEMS PROPER TO YOU AND YOU CALL DOWN BLESSINGS ON MUHAMMAD AND HIS HOUSEHOLD ONE THOUSAND TIMES . THIS IS WHAT HE USED TO DO ( UPON HIM BE PEACE ) .

49- His Supplication in Repelling Enemies
الهي هديتني فلهوت ، و وعظت فقسوت ، و ابليت الجميل فعصيت ، ثم عرفت ما اصدرت إذ عرفتنيه ، فاستغفرت فاقلت فعدت فسترت ، فلك - الهي - الحمد .تقحمت أودية الهلاك ، و حللت شعاب تلف ، تعرضت فيها لسطواتك و بحلولها عقوباتك .و وسيلتي اليك التوحيد ، و ذريعتي أني لم اشرك بك شيئا ، و لم اتخذ معك الها ، و قد فررت اليك بنفسي ، و اليك مفر المسئ ، و مفزع المضيع لحظ نفسه الملتجئ .فكم من عدو انتضي علي سيف عداوته ، و شحذلي ظبة مديته ، و ارهف لي شباحده ، و داف لي قواتل سمومه ، و سدد نحوي صوائب سهامه ، و لم تنم عني عين حراسته ، و اضمر أن يسومني المكروه ، و يجرعني زعاق مرارته .فنظرت - يا الهي - الي ضعفي عن احتمال الفوادح ، و عجزي عن الانتصار ممن قصدني بمحاربته ، و وحدتي في كثير عدد من ناواني ، و ارصد لي بالبلاء فيما لم اعمل فيه فكري .فابتدأتني بنصرك ، و شددت ازري بقوتك ، ثم فللت لي حده ، و صيرته من بعد جمع عديد وحده ، و اعليت كعبي عليه ، و جعلت ما سدده و مردودا عليه ، فرددته لم يشف غيظه ، و لم يسكن غليله ، قد عض علي شواه و ادبر موليا قد اخلفت سراياه .و كم من باغ بغاني بمكائده ، و نصب لي شرك مصائده ، و وكل بي تفقد رعايته ، اضبا ألي اضباء السبع لطريدته انتظارا لانتهاز الفرصة لفريسته ، و هو يظهر لي بشاشة الملق ، و ينظرني علي شدة الحنق .فلما رايت - يا الهي تباركت و تعاليت - دغل سريرته ، و قبح ما انطوي عليه اركسته لأم رأسه في زبيته ، و رددته في مهوي حفرته ، فانقمع بعد استطالته ذليلا في ربق حبالته التي كان يقدر أن يراني فيها ، و قد كاد أن يحل بي لولا رحمتك ما حل بساحته .و كم من حاسد قد شرق بي بغصته ، و شجي مني بغيظه ، و سلقني بحد لسانه ، و وحرني بقرف عيوبه ، و جعل عرضي غرضا لمراميه ، و قلدني خلالا لم تزل فيه ، و وحرني بكيده و قصدني بمكيدته .فناديتك - يا الهي - مستغيثا بك ، واثقا بسرعة اجابتك ، عالما أنه لا يضطهد من اوي الي ظل كنفك ، و لا يفزع من لجأ الي معقل انتصارك ، فحصنتني من بأسه بقدرتك .و كم من سحائب مكروه جليتها عني ، و سحائب نعم امطرتها علي ، و جداول رحمة نشرتها ، و عافية البستها ، و اعين احداث طمستها ، و غواشي كربات كشفتها .و كم من ظن حسن حققت ، و عدم جبرت ، و صرعة انعشت ، و مسكنة حولت .كل ذلك انعاما و تطولا منك و في جميعة انهماكا مني علي معاصيك ، لم تمنعك اساءتي عن اتمام احسانك و لا حجرني ذلك عن ارتكاب مساخطك ، لا تسال عما تفعل .و لقد سئلت فاعطيت ، و لم تسال فابتدات ، و استميح فضلك فما اكديت ابيت - يا مولاي - إلا احسانا و امتنانا و تطولا و انعاما ، و ابيت إلا تقحما لحرماتك ، و تعديا لحدودك ، و غفلة عن وعيدك ، فلك الحمد - الهي - من مقتدر لا يغلب ، و ذي أناة لا يعجل .هذا مقام من اعترف بسبوغ النعم ، و قابلها بالتقصير ، و شهد علي نفسه بالتضييع .اللهم فإني اتقرب اليك بالمحمدية الرفيعة ، و العلوية البيضاء ، و اتوجه ، اليك بهما أن تعيذني من شر كذا و كذا ، فأن ذلك لا يضيق عليك في وجدك ، و لا يتكأدك في قدرتك ، و أنت علي كل شئ قدير .فهب لي - يا الهي - من رحمتك و دوام توفيقك ما اتخذه سلما اعرج به الي رضوانك ، و امن به من عقابك ، يا ارحم الراحمين .

49 - His Supplication in Repelling the Trickery of Enemies and Driving away their Severity My God , Thou guided me but I diverted myself , Thou admonished me but my heart became hardened , Thou tried me graciously but I disobeyed . Then , when Thou caused me to know it , I came to know that from which Thou hadst turned ( me ) away , so I prayed forgiveness and Thou released , and I returned and Thou covered over . So Thine , my God , is the praise ! I plunged into the valleys of destruction and settled in the ravines of ruin , exposing myself to Thy chastisements and the descent of Thy punishments ! My mediation with Thee is the profession of Unity , my way of coming to Thee that I associate nothing with Thee , nor do I take along with Thee a god ; I have fled to Thee with my soul - in Thee is the place of flight for the evildoer , the place of escape for him who has squandered the share of his soul and seeks asylum . How many an enemy has unsheathed the sword of his enmity toward me , honed the cutting edge of his knife for me , sharpened the tip of his blade for me , mixed his killing potions for me , pointed toward me his straight-flying arrows , not allowed the eye of his watchfulness to sleep toward me , and secretly thought of visiting me with something hateful and making me gulp down the bitter water of his bile ! So Thou looked , my God , at my weakness in bearing oppressive burdens , my inability to gain victory over him who aims to war against me , and my being alone before the great numbers of him who is hostile toward me and lies in wait for me with an affliction about which I have not thought . Thou set out at once to help me and Thou braced up my back ! Thou blunted for me his blade , made him , after a great multitude , solitary , raised up my heel over him , and turned back upon him what he had pointed straight . So Thou sent him back , his rage not calmed , his burning thirst not quenched ! Biting his fingers , he turned his back in flight , his columns having been of no use . How many an oppressor has oppressed me with his tricks , set up for me the net of his snares , appointed over me the inspection of his regard , and lay in ambush for me , the lying in ambush of a predator for its game , waiting to take advantage of its prey , while he showed me the smile of the flatterer and looked at me with the intensity of fury ! So when Thou saw , my God , ( blessed art Thou and high exalted ) the depravity of his secret thoughts and the ugliness of what he harboured , Thou threw him on his head into his own pitfall and dumped him into the hole of his own digging . So he was brought down low , after his overbearing , by the nooses of his own snare , wherein he had thought he would see me ; and what came down upon his courtyard - had it not been for Thy mercy - was on the point of coming down upon me ! How many an envier has choked upon me in his agony , fumed over me in his rage , cut me with the edge of his tongue , showed malice toward me by accusing me of his own faults , made my good repute the target of his shots , collared me with his own constant defects , showed malice toward me with his trickery , and aimed at me with his tricks ! So I called upon Thee , my God , seeking aid from Thee , trusting in the speed of Thy response , knowing that he who seeks haven in the shadow of Thy wing will not be mistreated , and he who seeks asylum in the stronghold of Thy victory will not be frightened . So Thou fortified me against his severity through Thy power . How many a cloud of detested things Thou hast dispelled from me , a cloud of favour Thou hast made rain down upon me , a stream of mercy Thou hast let flow , a well-being in which Thou hast clothed me , an eye of mishap Thou hast blinded , and a wrap of distress Thou hast removed ! How many a good opinion Thou hast verified , a destitution Thou hast redressed , an infirmity Thou hast restored to health , and a misery Thou hast transformed ! All of that was favour and graciousness from Thee , and in all of it I was occupied with acts of disobeying Thee . My evildoing did not hinder Thee from completing Thy beneficence , nor was I stopped from committing acts displeasing to Thee . Thou art not questioned as to what Thou dost ! Thou wert asked , and Thou bestowed . Thou wert not asked , and Thou began . Thy bounty was requested , and Thou didst not skimp . Thou refused , my Master , everything but beneficence , kindness , graciousness , and favour , and I refused everything but plunging into what Thou hast made unlawful , transgressing Thy bounds , and paying no heed to Thy threat ! So Thine is the praise , my God , the All-powerful who is not overcome , and the Possessor of patient waiting who does not hurry ! This is the station of one who confesses to lavishness of favours , counters them with shortcomings , and bears witness to his own negligence . O God , so I seek nearness to Thee through the elevated rank of Muhammad and the radiant degree of 'Ali, and I turn to Thee through them so that Thou wilt give me refuge from the evil of ( so and so ) , for that will not constrain Thee in Thy wealth , nor trouble Thee in Thy power , and 'Thou art powerful over everything' ! So give me , my God , by thy mercy and Thy lasting bestowal of success , that which I may take as a ladder with which to climb to Thy good pleasure and be secure from Thy punishment , O Most merciful of the merciful !/www.tebyan.net

اللم إنك خلقتني سويا ، و ربيتني صغيرا ، و رزقتني مكفيا .اللهم إني وجدت فيما انزلت من كتابك ، و بشرت به عبادك أن قلت : يا عبادي الذين اسرفوا علي انفسهم لا تقنطوا من رحمة الله ، إن الله يغفر الذنوب جميعا ، و قد تقدم مني ما قد علمت و ما أنت اعلم به مني ، فيا سوأتا مما احصاه علي كتابك .فلولا المواقف التي أوءمل من عفوك الذي شمل كل شي ء لالقيت بيدي ، و لو أن احدا استطاع الهرب من ربه لكنت أنا أحق بالهرب منك ، و أنت لا تخفي عليك خافية في الارض و لا في السماء إلا أتيت بها ، و كفي بك جازيا ، و كفي بك حسيبا .اللهم إنك طالبي إن أنا هربت و مدركي إن أنا فررت ، فها أنا ذا بين يديك خاضع ذليل راغم ، إن تعذبني فإني لذلك اهل ، و هو - يا رب - منك عدل ، و إن تعف عني فقديما شملني عفوك ، و البستني عافيتك .فأسالك - اللهم - بالمخزون من أسمائك ، و بما وارته الحجب من بهائك ، إلا رحمت هذه النفس الجزوعة ، و هذه الرمة الهلوعة ، التي لا تستطيع حر شمسك ، فكيف تستطيع حر نارك ؟ ! و التي لا تستطيع صوت رعدك ، و كيف تستطيع صوت غضبك ؟!فارحمني - اللهم - فإني امرؤ حقير ، و خطري يسير ، و ليس عذابي مما يزيد في ملكك مثقال ذرة ، و لو أن عذابي مما يزيد في ملكك لسألتك الصبر عليه ، و احببت أن يكون ذلك لك ، و لكن سلطانك - اللهم - اعظم ، و ملكك أدوم من أن تزيد فيه طاعة المطيعين ، أو تنقص منه معصية المذنبين .فارحمني يا ارحم الراحمين ، و تجاوز عني يا ذا الجلال و الاكرام و تب علي ، إنك أنت التواب الرحيم .


50 - His Supplication in Fear O God , Thou created me without fault , nurtured me when small , and provided me with sufficiency . O God , I found in the Book which Thou sent down and through which Thou gave good news to Thy servants , that Thou said , 'O My servants who have been prodigal against yourselves , do not despair of God's mercy , surely God forgives all sins ', but there has gone ahead from me what Thou knowest ( and of which Thou knowest more than I ) ! O the shame of what Thy Book has counted against me ! Were it not for the places where I expectantly hope for Thy pardon , which enfolds all things , I would have thrown myself down ( in despair ) ! Were anyone able to flee from his Lord , I would be the most obligated to flee from Thee ! But not a secret in earth and heaven is concealed from Thee , except that Thou bringest it . Thou sufficest as a recompenser ! Thou sufficest as a reckoner ! O God , surely Thou wouldst seek me if I flee and catch me if I run . So here I am before Thee , abject , lowly , abased . If thou chastisest me , I am worthy of that , and it would be , my Lord , an act of justice from Thee . But if Thou pardonest me , anciently has Thy pardon enfolded me and Thy well-being garmented me ! So I ask Thee , O God , by Thy names stored in Thy treasury and Thy splendour masked by the veils ! If Thou hast no mercy upon this anxious soul and these uneasy , decaying bones - he cannot endure the heat of Thy sun , so how can he endure the heat of Thy Fire ? He cannot endure the sound of Thy thunder , so how can he endure the sound of Thy wrath ? So have mercy upon me , O God , for I am a vile man and my worth is little . Chastising me will not add the weight of a dust mote to Thy kingdom . Were chastising me something that would add to Thy kingdom , I would ask Thee for patience to bear it and would love for it to belong to Thee ; but Thy authority , my God , is mightier , and Thy kingdom more lasting , than that the obedience of the obeyers should increase it or the disobedience of the sinners diminish it ! So have mercy upon me , O Most Merciful of the merciful ! Show me forbearance , O Possessor of majesty and munificence ! And turn toward me , 'Surely Thou art Ever-turning , All-compassionate

الهي احمدك = و أنت للحمد اهل = علي حسن صنيعك الي ، و سبوغ نعمائك علي ، و جزيل عطائك عندي ، و علي ما فضلتني به من رحمتك ، و أسبغت علي من نعمتك ، فقد اصطنعت عندي ما يعجز عنه شكري .و لو لا احسانك الي و سبوغ نعمائك علي ما بلغت احراز حظي ، و لا اصلاح نفسي ، و لكنك ابتدأتني بالاحسان و رزقتني في اموري كلها الكفاية ، و صرفت عني جهد البلاء ، و منعت مني محذور القضاء .الهي فكم من بلاء جاهد قد صرفت عني ، و كم من نعمة سابغة اقررت بها عيني ، و كم من صنيعة كريمة لك عندي !!أنت الذي أجبت عند الاضطرار دعوتي و اقلت عند العثار زلتي ، و اخذت لي من الاعداء بظلامتي .الهي ما وجدتك بخيلا حين سألتك ، و لا منقبضا حين اردتك ، بل وجدتك لدعائي سامعا و لمطالبي معطيا ، و وجدت نعماك علي سابغة في كل شأن من شأني و كل زمان من زماني ، فأنت عندي محمود ، و صنيعك لدي مبرور .تحمدك نفسي و لساني و عقلي ، حمدا يبلغ الوفاء و حقيقة الشكر ، حمدا يكون مبلغ رضاك عني ، فنجني من سخطك .يا كهفي حين تعييني المذاهب ، و يا مقيلي عثرتي ، فلو لا سترك ، عورتي لكنت من المفضوحين ، و يا مؤيدي بالنصر ، فلو لا نصرك إياي لكنت من المغلوبين ، و يا من وضعت له الملوك نير المذلة علي اعناقها ، فهم من سطواته خائفون ، و يا اهل التقوي ، و يا من له الاسماء الحسني ، أسألك أن تعفو عني ، و تغفر لي ، فلست بريأ فاعتذر ، و لا بذي قوة فانتصر ، و لا مفر لي فافر .و استقيلك عثراتي ، و اتنصل اليك من ذنوبي التي قد اوبقتني ، و احاطت بي فاهلكتني ، منها فررت اليك - رب - تائبا فتب علي ، متعوذا فاعذني ، مستجيرا فلا تخذلني ، سائلا فلا تحرمني ، معتصما فلا تسلمني ، داعيا فلا تردني خائبا .دعوتك - يا رب - مسكينا ، مستكينا ، مشفقا ، خائفا ، و جلا ، فقيرا ، مضطرا اليك .اشكو اليك - يا الهي - ضعف نفسي عن المسارعة فيما وعدته اولياءك ، و المجانبة عما حذرته اعداءك ، و كثرة همومي ، و وسوسة نفسي .الهي لم تفضحني بسريرتي ، و لم تهلكني بجريرتي ، ادعوك فتجيبني و إن كنت بطيئا حين تدعوني ، و أسألك كلما شئت من حوائجي ، و حيث ما كنت وضعت عندك سري ، فلا ادعو سواك ، و لا ارجو غيرك .لبيك لبيك ، تسمع من شكا اليك و تلقي من توكل عليك ، و تخلص من اعتصم بك ، و تفرج عمن لاذ بك .الهي فلا تحرمني خير الاخرة و الاولي لقلة شكري و اغفر لي ما تعلم من ذنوبي .إن تعذب فأنا الظالم المفرط المضيع الاثم المقصر المضجع المغفل حظ نفسي ، و إن تغفر فأنت أرحم الراحمين .


51 - His Supplication in Pleading and Abasement My God , I praise Thee , - and Thou art worthy of praise - for Thy benefaction toward me , the lavishness of Thy favours toward me , and Thy plentiful bestowal upon me , and for showing bounty toward me through Thy mercy and lavishing Thy favour upon me . Thou hast done well toward me and I am incapable of thanking Thee . Were it not for Thy beneficence toward me and the lavishness of Thy favours upon me , I would not have reached the taking of my share nor would my soul have been set right , but Thou began with beneficence toward me , provided me sufficiency in all my affairs , turned away from me the toil of affliction , and held back from me the feared decree . My God , how many a toilsome affliction which Thou hast turned away from me ! How many a lavish favour with which Thou hast gladdened my eye ! How many a generous benefaction of Thine which is present with me ! It is Thou who responded to my supplication at the time of distress , released me from my slip in stumbling , and took my enemies to ask for doing wrong to me . My God , I did not find Thee a miser when I asked of Thee nor a withholder when I desired from Thee . No , I found Thee a hearer of my supplication and a bestower of my requests ; I found Thy favours toward me lavish in my every situation and in my every time . So Thou art praised by me and Thy benefaction honoured . My soul , my tongue , and my intelligence praise Thee , a praise that reaches fulfillment and the reality of thanksgiving , a praise that attains to Thy good pleasure with me - so deliver me from Thy displeasure ! O my cave when the ways thwart me ! O He who releases me from my stumble ! Were it not for Thy covering my shameful defects , I would be one of the disgraced . O my confirmer through help ! Were it not for Thy helping me , I would be one of the overcome ! O He before whom kings place the yoke of lowliness around their necks , fearing His penalties ! O worthy of reverent fear ! O He 'to whom belong the names most beautiful' ! I ask Thee to pardon me and to forgive me , for I am not innocent that I should offer excuses , nor a possessor of strength that I should gain victory , nor have I any place of flight that I should flee ! I ask Thee to release me from my stumbles , and before Thee I disavow my sins , which have laid me waste , encompassed me , and destroyed me ! I flee from them to Thee , my Lord , turning repentantly , so turn toward me , seeking refuge , so grant me refuge , asking sanctuary , so abandon me not , requesting , so deprive me not , holding fast , so leave me not , supplicating , so send me not back disappointed ! I have supplicated Thee , my Lord , as one miserable , abased , apprehensive , fearful , quaking , poor , driven to have recourse to Thee ! I complain to Thee , my God , of my soul - which is too weak to hurry to that which Thou hast promised Thy friends or to avoid that against which Thou hast cautioned Thy enemies - and of the multitude of my concerns , and of my soul's confusing thoughts . My God , Thou hast not disgraced me through my secret thoughts or destroyed me because of my misdeeds ! I call upon Thee , and Thou respondest , even if I am slow when Thou callest upon me . I ask Thee everything I want of my needs , and I deposit with Thee my secret wherever I may be . I supplicate no one besides Thee , and I hope for no one other than Thee . At Thy service ! At Thy service ! Thou hearest him who complains to Thee ! Thou receivest him who has confidence in Thee ! Thou savest him who holds fast to Thee ! Thou givest relief to him who seeks shelter in Thee ! My God , so deprive me not of the good of the last world and the first because of the paucity of my thanksgiving and forgive me the sins of mine which Thou knowest ! If Thou chastisest , I am the wrongdoer , the neglecter , the negligent , the sinner , the derelict , the sluggard , the heedless of the share of my soul ! And if Thou forgivest - Thou art the Most Merciful of the merciful !http://www.tebyan.net

52- His Supplication Imploring God
يا الله الذي لا يخفي عليه شي ء في الارض و لا في السماء و كيف يخفي عليك - يا الهي - ما أنت خلقته و كيف لا تحصي ما أنت صنعته ، أو كيف يغيب عنك ما أنت تدبره ، أو كيف يستطيع أن يهرب منك من لا حيوة له إلا برزقك ، أو كيف ينجو منك من لا مذهب له في غير ملكك .سبحانك ! اخشي خلقك لك اعلمهم بك ، و اخضعهم لك اعملهم بطاعتك ، و اهونهم عليك من أنت ترزقه و هو يعبد غيرك .سبحانك ! لا ينقص سلطانك من اشرك بك ، و كذب رسلك ، و ليس يستطيع من كره قضاءك أن يرد امرك ، و لا يمتنع منك من كذب بقدرتك ، و لا يفوتك من عبد غيرك و لا يعمر في الدنيا من كره لقاءك .سبحانك ! ما اعظم شأنك ، و اقهر سلطانك ، و اشد قوتك ، و انفذ امرك .سبحانك ! قضيت علي جميع خلقك الموت : من وحدك و من كفر بك ، و كل ذائق الموت ، و كل صائر اليك ، فتباركت و تعاليت لا إله إلا أنت وحدك لا شريك لك .امنت بك ، و صدقت رسلك ، و قبلت كتابك ، و كفرت بكل معبود غيرك ، و برئت ممن عبد سواك .اللهم إني اصبح و امسي مستقلا لعملي ، معترفا بذنبي ، مقرا بخطاياي ، أنا باسرافي علي نفسي ذليل ، عملي اهلكني ، و هواي ارداني ، و شهواتي حرمتني .فأسالك يا مولاي سؤال من نفسه لاهية لطول امله ، و بدنه غافل لسكون عروقه و قلبه مفتون بكثرة النعم عليه ، و فكره قليل لما هو صائر اليه .سؤال من قد غلب عليه الامل ، و فتنه الهوي ، و استمكنت منه الدنيا ، و اظله الاجل ، سؤال من استكثر ذنوبه ، و اعترف بخطيئته ، سؤال من لا رب له غيرك ، و لا ولي له دونك ، و لا منقذ له منك ، و لا ملجأ له منك إلا اليك .الهي أسألك بحقك الواجب علي جميع خلقك ، و باسمك العظيم الذي امرت رسولك أن يسبحك به ، و بجلال وجهك الكريم ، الذي لا يبلي و لا يتغير ، و لا يحول و لا يفني ، أن تصلي علي محمد و آل محمد ، و أن تغنيني عن كل شي ء بعبادتك ، و أن تسلي نفسي عن الدنيا بمخافتك ، و أن تثنيني بالكثير من كرامتك برحمتك .فاليك افر ، و منك اخاف ، و بك استغيث ، و اياك ارجو ، و لك ادعو ، و اليك الجأ ، و بك اثق ، و اياك استعين ، و بك أومن ، و عليك اتوكل ، و علي جودك و كرمك اتكل .

52 - His Supplication in Imploring God O God , from whom nothing is concealed in earth or heaven ! How should what Thou hast created , my God , be concealed from Thee ? How shouldst Thou not number what Thou hast made ? How should what Thou governest be absent from Thee ? How should one who has no life except through Thy provision have the ability to flee from Thee ? How should one who has no road except in Thy kingdom escape from Thee ? Glory be to Thee ! He among Thy creatures who fears Thee most knows Thee best , he among them most bent in humility is most active in obeying Thee , and he among them whom Thou providest while he worships another is most contemptible before Thee ! Glory be to Thee ! He who associates others with Thee and denies Thy messengers diminishes not Thy authority . He who dislikes Thy decree cannot reject Thy command . He who denies Thy power keeps himself not away from Thee . He who worships other than Thee escapes Thee not . He who dislikes meeting Thee will not be given endless life in this world . Glory be to Thee ! How mighty is Thy station , overpowering Thy authority , intense Thy strength , penetrating Thy command ! Glory be to Thee ! Thou hast decreed death for all Thy creatures , both him who professes Thy Unity and him who disbelieves in Thee ; each one will taste death , each one will come home to Thee . Blessed art Thou and high exalted ! There is no god but Thou , Thou alone , who hast no associate . I have faith in Thee , I attest to Thy messengers , I accept Thy Book , I disbelieve in every object of worship other than Thee , I am quit of anyone who worships another ! O God , I rise in the morning and enter the evening making little of my good works , confessing my sins , admitting my offenses ; I am abased because of my prodigality against myself . My works have destroyed me , my caprice has ruined me , my passions have deprived me . So I ask Thee , my Master , the asking of him whose soul is diverted by his drawn out expectations , whose body is heedless because of the stillness of his veins , whose heart is entranced by the multitude of favours done for him , whose reflection is little concerning that to which he is coming home ; the asking of him whom false expectation has overcome , caprice has entranced , and this world has mastered , and over whom death has cast its shadow ; the asking of him who makes much of his sins and confesses his offense ; the asking of him who has no Lord but Thou , no friend besides Thee , no one to deliver him from Thee , and no asylum from Thee except in Thee . My God , I ask Thee by Thy right incumbent upon all Thy creatures , by Thy mighty name with which Thou commanded Thy messenger to glorify Thee , and by the majesty of Thy generous face , which ages not , nor changes , nor alters , nor passes away , that Thou blessest Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad , that Thou freest me from need for all things through worshiping Thee , that Thou distractest my soul from this world through fear of Thee , and that Thou turnest me back toward Thy abundant generosity through Thy mercy ! To Thee I flee , Thee I fear , from Thee I seek aid , in Thee I hope , Thee I supplicate , in Thee I seek asylum , in Thee I trust , from Thee I ask help , in Thee I have faith , in Thee I have placed my confidence , and upon Thy munificence and Thy generosity I rely .http://www.tebyan.net

53- His Supplication in Abasing himself
رب افحمتني ذنوبي ، و انقطعت مقالتي ، فلا حجة لي ، فأنا الاسير ببليتي ، المرتهن بعملي ، المتردد في خطيئتي ، المتحير عن قصدي ، المنقطع بي .قد اوقفت نفسي موقف الاذلاء المذنبين ، موقف الاشقياء المتجرين عليك ، المستخفين بوعدك .سبحانك ! اي جرأة اجترأت عليك ، و اي تغرير غررت بنفسي ؟ !مولاي ارحم كبوتي لحر وجهي و زلة قدمي ، و عد بحلمك علي جهلي ، و باحسانك علي اساءتي ، فأنا المقر بذنبي ، المعترف بخطيئتي ، و هذه يدي و ناصيتي ، استكين بالقود من نفسي ، ارحم شيبتي و نفاد ايامي ، واقتراب اجلي و ضعفي و مسكنتي و قلة حيلتي .مولاي و ارحمني إذا انقطع من الدنيا اثري ، و امحي من المخلوقين ذكري ، و كنت من المنسيين كمن قد نسي .مولاي و ارحمني عند تغير صورتي و حالي إذا بلي جسمي ، و تفرقت اعضائي ، و تقطعت اوصالي ، يا غفلتي عما يراد بي .مولاي و ارحمني في حشري و نشري ، و اجعل في ذلك اليوم مع أوليائك موقفي ، و في احبائك مصدري ، و في جوارك مسكني ، يا رب العالمين .
53- His Supplication in Abasing himself before God ( Mighty and Majestic is He ) My Lord , my sins have silenced me , and my words have been cut off . I have no argument , for I am the prisoner of my own affliction , the hostage to my works , the frequenter of my own offense , the confused in my intended way , the thwarted . I have brought myself to a halt in the halting place of the abased sinners , the halting place of the wretched and insolent , those who think lightly of Thy promise . Glory be to Thee ! What insolence I have insolently shown toward Thee ! What delusion with which I have deluded myself ! My Master , have mercy on my falling flat on my face the slipping of my foot , grant me my ignorance through Thy clemency , and my evildoing through Thy beneficence , for I admit my sin and I confess my offense : Here are my hand and my forelock ! I am resigned to retaliation against my soul ! Have mercy on my white hair , the depletion of my days , the nearing of my term , my frailty , my misery , and the paucity of my stratagems ! My Master , and have mercy upon me when my trace is cut off from this world , my mention is effaced among the creatures , and I join the forgotten , like the forgotten ones ! My Master , and have mercy upon me at the change of my form and state when my body decays , my limbs are scattered , and my joints are dismembered ! O my heedlessness toward what was wanted from me ! My Master , have mercy upon me at my mustering and uprising and on that day , appoint my standing place with Thy friends , my place of emergence with Thy beloveds , and my dwelling in Thy neighbourhood ! O Lord of the worlds
