يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ لَا تَفْتِنِّي بِطَلَبِ مَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ

O the most compassionate Most Merciful.Do not test me by trying to gain what You are withholding from me with Your Power and Strength.

وَ أَغْنِنِي يَا رَبِّ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْكَ وَاسِعٍ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ

O‟ Lord! Please give me affluence with sustenance from Your Extensive Sustenance that You have made lawful and not of what You forbade.

وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعِفَّةَ فِي بَطْنِي وَ فَرْجِي وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كُلَّ هَمٍّ وَ غَمٍّ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي

Please bless me with piety regarding both my stomach and my private parts. Please relieve me from all sorrow and sadness, and do not subject me to my enemy‟s ridicule.

وَ وَفِّقْ لِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ

And on the Night of Destiny give me success better than anyone has seen and give me success as You gave Muhammad and his Progeny (a) success and fulfill such and such things for me at this very hour.‟

أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُكْمِلَ [تُكَمِّلَ‌] لِيَ الثَّوَابَ بِأَفْضَلِ مَا أَرْجُو مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ تَصْرِفَ عَنِّي كُلَّ سُوءٍ فَإِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ دَفْعَ مَا أُحَاذِرُ إِلَّا بِكَ .

“I ask You to complete my rewards better than hoped for from Your Mercy and fend off all evil from me since I cannot fend them off except by You.

فَقَدْ أَمْسَيْتُ مُرْتَهِناً بِعَمَلِي وَ أَمْسَى الْأَمْرُ وَ الْقَضَاءُ فِي يَدَيْكَ فَلَا فَقِيرَ أَفْقَرُ مِنِّي

I made it to the evening while I am responsible for my own actions. I made it to the evening with my destiny in Your Hand. There is no poor one poorer than me.

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ و

Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (a).

َ اغْفِرْ لِي ظُلْمِي وَ جُرْمِي وَ جَهْلِي وَ جِدِّي وَ هَزْلِي وَ كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ ارْتَكَبْتُهُ

Please forgive my crimes, transgressions, ignorance, seriousness, joking and all the sins that I committed.

وَ بَلِّغْنِي رِزْقِي بِغَيْرِ مَشَقَّةٍ مِنِّي وَ لَا تُهْلِكْ رُوحِي وَ جَسَدِي فِي طَلَبِ مَا لَمْ تُقَدِّرْ لِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

And please let me obtain my sustenance without any hardship for me. And do not destroy my soul and body seeking what is not destined for me – O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.”
