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

اَللّٰہُمَ اِنَّکَ اٰنَسُ الْآنِسِیْنَ لِاَوْلِیَائِکَ وَ اَحَضَرُہُمْ بِالْکِفَایَۃِ لِلْمُتَوَکِّلِیْنَ عَلَیْکَ تُشَاہِدُہُمْ فِیْ سَرَائِرِہِمْ وَ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَیْہِمْ فِیْ ضَمَائِرِہِمْ

O Allah! You are the most attached to Your lovers and the most ready to assist those who trust in You. You see them in their concealments, knowest whatever is in their consciences

وَ تَعْلَمُ مَبْلَغَ بَصَائِرِہِمْ فَاَسْرَارُہُمْ لَکَ مَکْشُوْفَۃٌ وَ قُلُوْبُہُمْ اِلَیْکَ مَلْہُوْفَۃٌ اِنْ اَوْحَشَتْہُمُ الْغُرْبَۃُ اٰنَسَہُمْ ذِکْرُکَ

 If distresses befall them, they beseech Your protection, because they know that the reins of affairs are in Your hands and that their movements depend upon Your commands. 

اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنْ فَہِہْتُ عَنْ مَسْئَلَتِیْ اَوْ عَمِيْتُ عَنْ طِلْبَتِیْ فَدُلَّنِیْ عَلٰی مَصَالِحِیْ وَ خُذْ بِقَلْبِیْ

Allaahumma In Fa-Hehto A’n Mas-Alatee Aw A’meeto A’n Tilbatee Fa-Dullanee A’laa Masaalehee Wa Khuz Be-Qalbee

O Allah! If I am unable to express my request or cannot see my needs, then guide me towards my betterment and take my betterment and take my heart

اِلٰی مَرَاشِدِیْ فَلَیْسَ ذٰلِکَ بِنُکْرٍ مِنْ ہِدَایَتِکَ وَ لَا بِبِدْعٍ مِنْ کِفَایَاتِکَ
