O Allah; on this day, I beseech You for that which pleases You,

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِمَّا يُؤْذِيكَ،

wa a`udhu bika mimma yu´dhika

And I seek Your protection against that which hurts You,

وَأَسْأَلُكَ التّوْفِيقَ فِيهِ لأَنْ أُطِيعَكَ وَلا أَعْصِيَكَ،

wa as’aluka alttawfiqa fihi lian a’uti`aka wa la a`siyaka

And I beseech You for leading me to obey You and avoid disobeying You,

يَا جَوَادَ السَّائِلِينَ.

ya jawada alssa’ilina

O He Who treats the beseechers magnanimously.

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي‌ يَعْلَمُ ما تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنْثى‌ وَ ما تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحامُ وَ ما تَزْدادُ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِمِقْدارٍ

“Glory be to Him who knows what every female bears and what the wombs push off and what they grow. Everything with Him is measured.

عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِالْكَبِيرُ الْمُتَعالِ

He is the Knower of all that is hidden and open – the Great, the Exalted.

سَواءٌ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ أَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَ مَنْ جَهَرَ بِهِ وَ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ سارِبٌ بِالنَّهارِ

Those who hide the words and those who make it known, those who lurk in the night and those who go freely in the daytime are equal to Him.

يُمِيتُ الْأَحْيَاءَ وَ يُحْيِ الْمَوْتى‌ [الْأَمْوَاتَ‌] وَ يَعْلَمُ‌ ما تَنْقُصُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ‌ وَ يُقِرُّ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ مَا يَشَاءُ إِلى‌ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى

Glory be to God who causes to die what is living, and gives life to what is dead. He knows that which the earth consumes of them, and causes what He Wills, to remain in the wombs for an appointed time.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَارِئِ النَّسَمِ

Glory be to God, the Creator of the breath of life!

Glory be to God, the Creator of all things!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى

Glory be to God, the Creator of the seen and the unseen!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ‌

Glory be to God to the Extent of His Words!

Say three times. سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ‌

Say three times. Glory be to God, the Lord of the worlds!”

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ أَمَرْتَ بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ ضَمِنْتَ الْإِجَابَةَ

“O‟ my God! You ordered us to pray and guaranteed its fulfillment.

فَدَعْوْنَاكَ وَ نَحْنُ عِبَادُكَ وَ بَنُو إِمَائِكَ نَوَاصِينَا بِيَدِكَ

So we prayed to you. We are Your Servants and the children of Your creatures. You control all our affairs

وَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا وَ نَحْنُ عِبَادُكَ وَ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ الْعِبَادُ مِثْلَكَ

You are our Lord and we are Your Servants. The servant does not ask anyone else like You

We desire You and the people do not desire anyone else

وَ يَا مَوْضِعَ شَكْوَى السَّائِلِينَ وَ مُنْتَهَى حَاجَةِ الرَّاغِبِينَ

O‟ He who settles the complaints of those who ask! O‟ the ultimate need of those who desire!

O‟ Lord of Omnipotence and Kingdom! O‟ Lord of Authority and Majesty!

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا بَارُّ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ

Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (a). Please forgive me as You are All-Forgiving, Merciful!”

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَنْ‌ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْأُولى‌ وَ الْآخِرَةِ

O Allah, I ask You, O You whose praise is declared in the beginning and the end,

وَ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ‌ وَ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ الْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُ‌

to whom belongs judgment, and to whom all affairs are returned.

يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ‌ بِما فِي صُدُورِ الْعالَمِينَ‌

O You who are most knowledgeable of the hearts of all beings.

يَا مَنْ‌ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَ هُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ

O You who initiate creation and then repeat it, and it is easier for You,

وَ لَهُ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلى‌ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ

and for You is the highest example in the heavens and the earth.

وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ‌

And He is the Might, the Wise.

يَا مَنْ‌ أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْ‌ءٍ خَلَقَهُ

وَ كَفَى اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْقِتالَ

وَ كانَ اللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزاً

for Allah is Strong, Almighty.

يَا مَنْ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ‌ وَ ما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها

O You who know what is on the earth and what comes out of it,

وَ ما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها

what descends from the sky, and what ascends in it,

وَ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

and You are the Forgiving, the Merciful.

أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا أَوْجَبْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ لِمَنْ سَأَلَكَ

I ask You, by what You have obligated upon Yourself for those who ask of You,

وَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ كُلِّهَا وَ بِمَا نَاجَيْتُكَ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا

and by all Your names, and by what I have confided in You today,

أَنْ تُثَبِّتَنِي حَتَّى لَا أَزُولَ [أَزِلَ‌]

to make me steadfast so I do not falter,

وَ أَنْ تَهْدِيَنِي‌ حَتَّى لَا أَضِلَّ

to guide me so I do not go astray,

وَ أَنْ تَمْنَعَنِي أَنْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيَّ

to prevent me from acting ignorantly or being treated with ignorance,

وَ أَنْ أُشَايِعَ فِي سَفْكِ دَمٍ

not to involve me in the shedding of blood unjustly,

وَ لَا تُقَوِّينِي عَلَى ظُلْمِ أَحَدٍ

not to make me ally to Your enemy or oppose Your ally,

لَكَ وَلِيّاً أَوْ أَرْضَى لَكَ بِسَخَطٍ أَوْ أَسْخَطُكَ بِرِضًى

not to make me content with Your displeasure or displease You with what pleases me,

أَوْ أُقْصِي لَكَ طَالِباً أَوْ أُجِيبُ دَاعِياً إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ

not to reject any of Your seekers or answer any caller to misguidance,

أَوْ أُكَذِّبُ دَاعِياً إِلَى حَقٍّ أَوْ أَجْحَدُ بِآ

not to deny Your signs or to incur Your wrath,

يَاتِكَ أَوْ يَحُلُّ بِي سَخَطُكَ أَوْ أَتَّبِعُ هَوَايَ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى

not to follow my desires without guidance from You,

مِنْكَ أَوْ أَقُولُ‌ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هؤُلاءِ أَهْدى‌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَبِيلًا

not to say to those who disbelieve that they are more guided than those who believe.

I ask You, O Lord, to send blessings upon Muhammad and his virtuous family,

By Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful, and may Allah bless our Master Muhammad, the Prophet, and his family, and grant them peace.

ولْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ شَفْعاً وَ وَتْراً فِي الشَّفْعِ وَ الْوَتْرِ مِنْ هَذِهِ اللَّيَالِي الْمُبَارَكَاتِ وَ عَلَى مَا مَنَحَنِي وَ أَعْطَانِي فِيهِنَّ مِنَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ وَهَبَهُ لِي مِنَ الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ

“Praise be to God evenly and oddly in the even and odd nights of these blessed nights for all the good things that He favored and bestowed upon me on them plus the good things that remain for me which He donated to me in charity.

الَّذِي صَوَّمَنِي لِيَأْجُرَنِي وَ فَطَرَنِي عَلَى مَا رَزَقَنِي فَكُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَ بِمِنَّتِهِ وَ بِحُسْنِ اخْتِيَارِهِ وَ نَظَرِهِ لِعَبِيدِهِ

He made me fast and rewarded me for it, and He fed me with the sustenance He provided for me to break my fast with. This was all from Him due to His Favor due to His Kind Choice and attention to His Servants!

سُبْحَانَهُ سَيِّداً أَخَذَ بِيَدِي مِنَ الْوَرَطَاتِ وَ مَحَّصَ عَنِّي الْخَطِيئَاتِ

Glory be to Him – the Master who took my hand and saved me from the disastrous situations! He wiped off my wrongdoings and took care of my important needs.

وَ كَفَانِي الْمُهِمَّاتِ وَ أَغْنَانِي عَنِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ رِزْقِي إِلَى الْمَرْزُوقِينَ‌

He made us needless of the creatures and did not let my provisions be in the hands of those who are themselves provided for.

َ شَهَرَ ذِكْرِي فِي الْعَالَمِينَ وَ جَعَلَ اسْمِي فِي الْمَذْكُورِينَ وَ لَمْ يُشْقِنِي بِعُجْبٍ يَحُطُّنِي عَنْ دَرَجَاتٍ رَفِيعَةٍ فَيُهْوِي بِي إِلَى ظُلَمِ غَضَبِهِ وَ نِقْمَتِهِ

He made me reputable in the world, and recorded my name among those who are mentioned. He did not make me suffer from haughtiness that would lower my rank, and did not make me suffer from the darkness of His Wrath and Chastisements!

وَ لَا أَبْلَانِي بِاسْتِحْلَالٍ يَنْزِعُ عَنِّي مَلَابِسَ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ يُعَوِّضُنِي لِبُؤْسِ الذُّلِّ مِنْ سَخَطِهِ إِيَّاهُ

He did not make me suffer from considering what is forbidden to be legitimate that could strip off the robes of His Mercy from me and wear the robes of His Wrath instead!

أَشْكُرُ وَ لَهُ أَعْبُدُ وَ مِنْهُ أَرْجُو التَّمَامَ وَ الْمَزِيدَ

I thank Him alone and I worship Him only! I have hopes of increase and perfection from Him!

وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً.

There is no change nor any strength exept by God – the Sublime, the Supreme and may God bestow blessings on the Prophet Muhammad and his Progeny (a) and may His peace be on them plentifully.”
