Bismil Laahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

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

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ سَابِغِ النِّعَمِ وَ مُفَرِّجِ الْہَمِّ وَ بَارِءِ النَّسَمِ

Alhamdu lillahi saabighin-ni'ami wa mufarrijil-hammi wa baari'in-nasami

Praise be to Allah, the Bestower of blessings, the Reliever of worries, and the Creator of souls

الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ السَّمٰوَاتِ لِکُرْسِیِّهِ عِمَادًا وَ جَعَلَ الْاَرْضَ لِلْعِبَادِ مِہَادًا

Alladhee ja'alas-samaawaati likursiyyihi 'imaadan wa ja'alal-ardha lil'ibaadi mihaadan

Who made the heavens a support for His Throne and made the earth a resting place for His servants

وَ الْجِبَالَ اَوْتَادًا مَلآئِکَتَہٗ عَلٰی اَرْجَائِہَا وَ حَمَلَۃَ عَرْشِہٖ عَلٰی اَمْطَائِہَا

Wal-jibaala awtaadan malaa'ikatahu 'alaa arjaa'ihaa wa hamalata 'arshihi 'alaa amtaa'ihaa

And the mountains as pegs, His angels on its corners, and the bearers of His Throne on its edges

وَ اَقَامَ بِعِزَّتِہٖ اَرْکَانَ الْعَرْشِ وَ اَشْرَقَ بِضَوْئِهٖ شُعَاعَ الشَّمْسِ

Wa aqaama bi'izzatihi arkanal-'arshi wa ashraqa bidhaw'ihi shu'aa'ash-shamsi

And He established by His might the pillars of the Throne and illuminated by His light the rays of the sun

وَ اَطْفَأَ بِشُعَائِہٖ ظُلْمَۃَ الْعَطْشِ وَ فَجَّرَ الْاَرْضَ عُیُوْنًا

Wa atfa'a bishu'aa'ihi dhulmatil-'atshi wa fajjaral-ardha 'uyoonan

And extinguished by His radiance the darkness of thirst and caused springs to gush forth from the earth

وَ الْقَمَرَ نُوْرًا وَ النُّجُوْمَ بُہُوْرًا ثُمَّ تَجَلّٰی فَتَمَکَّنَ

Wal-qamara nooran wan-nujooma buhooran thumma tajallaa fatamakkana

And made the moon a light and the stars brilliant, then He manifested Himself and became established

وَ خَلَقَ فَاَتْقَنَ وَ اَقَامَ فَتَہَیْمَنَ فَخَضَعَتْ لَہٗ نَخْوَۃُ الْمُسْتَکْبِرِ

Wa khalaqa fa'atqana wa aqaama fatahaymana fakhadha'at lahu nakhwatul-mustakbiri

Wa talabat ilayhi khullatul-mutamaskini

And the need of the destitute sought Him

Wa awfarahum hadhhan min ridhwaanika wa aktharahum sufoofa ummatin fee janaabika

And the most abundant in share of Your pleasure and the most numerous in ranks of his nation in Your presence

کَمَا لَمْ یَسْجُدُ لِلْاَحْجَارِ وَ لَمْ یَعْتَکِفْ لِلْاَشْجَارِ

Kamaa lam yasjud lil'ahjaari wa lam ya'takif lil'ashjaari

As he did not prostrate to stones nor seclude himself for trees

وَ لَمْ یَسْتَحِلَّ السِّبَاءَ وَ لَمْ یَشْرَبِ الدِّمَاءَ

Wa lam yastahill as-sibaa'a wa lam yashrabid-dimaa'a

And did not consider captivity lawful nor drink blood

Allaahumma kharajnaa ilayka heena faajaatnaa al-madhaayiqu al-wa'iratu

O Allah, we have come to You when we were beset by severe hardships

Wa aljaatnaa al-mahaabisu al-'asiratu wa 'adhdhatna 'alaa'iqu ash-shayni

And we were confined by difficult prisons and afflicted by the bonds of shame

Fakunta raja'a al-mubtai'si wa ath-thiqatha lil-multamisi

An laa taruddanaa khaa'ibiina wa laa tu'aakhidhnaa bi'a'maalinaa wa laa tuhaasanaa bidhunoobinaa

That You do not return us disappointed, nor hold us accountable for our deeds, nor enclose us with our sins.
