Glorified is the one having preceding and superior honor – glorified is the owner of majesty, the greatest and the lofty.
سُبْحَانَ ذِيْ الْمُلْكِ الْفَاخِرِ الْقَدِيْمِ.

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ بِنِعْمَتِهٖ بَلَغْتُ مَا بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ بِهٖ، وَ الْعَمَلِ لَهُ وَ الرَّغْبَةِ اِلَيْهِ، وَ الطَّاعَةِ لِاَمْرِهٖ،

All praise is for that God, in lieu of whose bounties, I have reached to this level of knowledge and actions and after being inclined to Him I am obeying His commands.
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِيْ جَاحِدًا لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ كِتَابِهٖ، وَ لَا مُتَحَيِّرًا فِيْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ اَمْرِهٖ.

All praise is for that God, Who did not make me denier of any part of His Book and did not make me perplexed in any of His issues.

All praise is for that God, Who has bestowed the guidance of His religion and has not allowed worshipping anyone other than Him.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْاَلُكَ قَوْلَ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَ عَمَلَهُمْ، وَ نَجَاةَ الْمُجَاهِدِيْنَ وَ ثَوَابَهُمْ،
allaahumma innee as-aloka qawlat tawwaabeena wa a’malahum wa najaatal mojaahedeena wa sawaabahum
O God, I ask You for the words and actions of the penitents. And bestow salvation and bounties like that of the holy fighters.
وَ تَصْدِيْقَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ تَوَكُّلَهُمْ، وَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَ الْاَمْنَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ،

Bestow testimony and contentment like that of the faithful. And bestow on me ease at the time of death and peace and security at the time of accounting.
وَ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ خَيْرَ غَائِبٍ اَنْتَظِرُهٗ، وَ خَيْرَ مُطَّلَعٍ يُطَّلَعُ عَلَيَّ.
waj a’lil mawta khayra ghaa-ebin antazerohu, wa khayra motta-la-i’n yuttala-o’ a’layya.
Deem death to be the best of the unseen, which I may await. And make it the best scene, which is to come before me;
وَ ارْزُقْنِيْ - عِنْدَ حُضُوْرِ الْمَوْتِ، وَ عِنْدَ نُزُوْلِهٖ، وَ فِيْ غَمَرَاتِهٖ وَ حِيْنَ تَنْزِلُ النَّفْسُ مِنْ بَيْنِ التَّرَاقِيْ، وَ حِيْنَ تَبْلُغُ الْحُلْقُوْمُ، وَ فِيْ حَالِ خُرُوْجِيْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ الَّتِيْ لَا اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِيْ فِيْهَا ضَرًّا وَ لَا نَفْعًا، وَ لَا شِدَّةً وَ لَا رَخَاءً -

رَوْحًا مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَ حَظًّا مِنْ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ بُشْرًى مِنْ كَرَامَتِكَ، قَبْلَ اَنْ تَتَوَفّٰى نَفْسِيْ، وَ تَقْبِضَ رُوحِيْ، وَ تُسَلِّطَ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ عَلٰى اِخْرَاجِ نَفْسِيْ.
rawhan min rahmateka, wa hazzan min rizwaaneka wa bushran min karaamateka, qabla an tata-wafffaa nafsee, wa taqbeza roohee, wa tosalleta malakil mawte a’laa ikhraajenafsee.
Bestow me the peace of your mercy, a part of your beneficence and glad tidings of your miracle, before I die and You capture my soul; and that You impose the angels of death on me to remove my soul.
َو بِبُشْرًى مِنْكَ يَا رَبِّ - لَيْسَتْ مِنْ اَحَدٍ غَيْرِكَ - تَثْلُجُ بِهَا صَدْرِيْ وَ تَسُرُّ بِهَا نَفْسِيْ، وَ تَقِرُّ بِهَا عَيْنِيْ، وَ يَتَهَلَّلُ بِهَا وَجْهِيْ، وَ يَسْفُرُ بِهَا لَوْنِيْ، وَ يَطْمَئِنُّ بِهَا قَلْبِيْ، وَ يَتَبَاشَرُ بِهَا سَائِرُ جَسَدِيْ.

O God, there is only your glad tiding and there is nothing other than that, which can provide tranquility to my breast, pleasure to my soul, coolness to my eyes, joy to my face, shine to my complexion and peace to my heart. And the effect of its tranquility can become apparent on my complete being.
يَغْبِطُنِيْ بِهَا مَنْ حَضَرَنِيْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، وَ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِيْ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ. تُهَوِّنُ بِهَا عَلَيَّ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ،
yaghbetonee behaa man hazaranee min khalqeka, wa man same-a’ bee min e’baadeka tohawweno behaa a’layya sakaraatil mawte,
And seeing which at the throes of death, all the onlookers, those present there and those who hear, can feel envious.
وَ تُفَرِّجُ عَنِّيْ بِهَا كُرْبَتَهٗ وَ تُخَفِّفُ بِهَا عَنِّيْ شِدَّتَهٗ،
wa tofarrejo a’nnee behaa kurbatahu wa tokhaffefo behaa a’nnee shiddatahu,
Therefore, through this, You ease the hardships of death and remove its pain and sorrow and lighten its severity;
وَ تَكْشِفُ عَنِّيْ بِهَا سُقْمَهٗ، وَ تُذْهِبُ عَنِّيْ بِهَا هَمَّهٗ وَ حَسْرَتَهٗ، وَ تَعْصِمُنِيْ بِهَا مِنْ اَسَفِهٖ وَ فِتَنِهٖ، وَ تُجِيْرُنِيْ بِهَا مِنْ شَرِّهٖ وَ شَرِّ مَا يَحْضُرُ اَهْلُهٗ، وَ تَرْزُقُنِيْ بِهَا خَيْرَهٗ وَ خَيْرَ مَا يَحْضُرُ عِنْدَهٗ وَ خَيْرَ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ بَعْدَهٗ.

and remove its illness, and cure its sorrow and grief and secure me from its mischief and save me from every calamity that befalls from one, who is dying and with his good,bestow every good that comes down at that time and also bestow that good, which is going to occur after death.
ثُمَّ اِذَا تُوُفِّيَتْ نَفْسِيْ وَ قُبِضَتْ رُوْحِيْ، فَاجْعَلْ رُوْحِيْ فِيْ الْاَرْوَاحِ الرَّائِـحَةِ، وَ اجْعَلْ نَفْسِيْ فِيْ الْاَنْفُسِ الصَّالِحَةِ،

After that when my death occurs and the soul is taken out, include my soul among the peaceful souls and make my soul among the most righteous souls,
وَ اجْعَلْ جَسَدِيْ فِيْ الْاَجْسَادِ الْمُطَهَّرَةِ، وَ اجْعَلْ عَمَلِيْ فِيْ الْاَعْمَالِ الْمُتَقَبَّلَةِ.

place my body among purified bodies and my deeds among the accepted deeds.
ثُمَّ ارْزُقْنِيْ - فِيْ خِطَّتِيْ مِنَ الْاَرْضِ - وَ مَوْضِعَ جُنَّتِيْ حَيْثُ يُرْفَتُ لَحْمِيْ، وَ يُدْفَنُ عَظْمِيْ، وَ اُتْرَكُ وَحِيْدًا لَا حِيْلَةَ لِيْ.

After that when I am buried in that patch of land, where my flesh decays and only the bones remain buried, and I am abandoned alone helpless.
قَدْ لَفَظَتْنِيْ الْبِلَادُ، وَ تَخَلَّا مِنِّيْ الْعِبَادُ، وَ افْتَقَرْتُ اِلٰى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ احْتَجْتُ اِلٰى صَالِحِ عَمَلِيْ، وَ اَلْقٰى مَا مَهَّدْتُ لِنَفْسِيْ وَ قَدَّمْتُ لِاٰخِرَتِيْ، وَ عَمِلْتُ فِيْ اَيَّامِ حَيَاتِيْ،

And the townsmen cast me away from them and all the people shun me and I become the beggar of your mercy and needful of good deeds and all of them come before me that I have prepared for myself and which I have sent for my hereafter and the deeds that I have performed in my life
فَوْزًا مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَ ضِيَاءً مِنْ نُوْرِكَ وَ تَثْبِيْتًا مِنْ كَرَامَتِكَ، بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِيْ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ اِنَّكَ تُضِلُّ الظَّالِمِيْنَ وَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَشَاءُ.

After that bestow me auspiciousness on Judgment Day and in the stage of accounting when the earth splits and the people leave me and the heavenly call makes me swoon, and the blowing of the bugle makes me tremble, and after death, You revive me and make me join the stage of accounting.
فَابْعَثْ مَعِيْ يَا رَبِّ نُوْرًا مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، يَسْعٰى بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَ عَنْ يَمِيْنِيْ تُؤْمِنُنِيْ بِهٖ، وَ تَرْبِطُ بِهٖ عَلٰى قَلْبِيْ،

wa laa tushmit bee a’duwwan wa laa haasedan, wa laa tosallit a’layya sultaanan a’needan wa laa shaytaanin mareedan,
do not give chance to our enemies and jealous ones to ridicule us and do not impose upon us any tyrant or rebellious satan.
بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ، وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ، وَ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِہٖ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِیْمًا.

Through your perfect mercy, O the best of those, who are merciful. And there is no strength or power, except for Allah, the high and the mighty, and may Allah bless Muhammad and his progeny with the best of the blessings.

All praise is for that God, in lieu of whose bounties, I have reached to this level of knowledge and actions and after being inclined to Him I am obeying His commands.

O God, I ask You for the words and actions of the penitents. And bestow salvation and bounties like that of the holy fighters.
وَ تَصْدِيْقَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ تَوَكُّلَهُمْ، وَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَ الْاَمْنَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ،

waj a’lil mawta khayra ghaa-ebin antazerohu, wa khayra motta-la-i’n yuttala-o’ a’layya.
Deem death to be the best of the unseen, which I may await. And make it the best scene, which is to come before me;
وَ ارْزُقْنِيْ - عِنْدَ حُضُوْرِ الْمَوْتِ، وَ عِنْدَ نُزُوْلِهٖ، وَ فِيْ غَمَرَاتِهٖ وَ حِيْنَ تَنْزِلُ النَّفْسُ مِنْ بَيْنِ التَّرَاقِيْ، وَ حِيْنَ تَبْلُغُ الْحُلْقُوْمُ، وَ فِيْ حَالِ خُرُوْجِيْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ الَّتِيْ لَا اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِيْ فِيْهَا ضَرًّا وَ لَا نَفْعًا، وَ لَا شِدَّةً وَ لَا رَخَاءً -

Bestow me the peace of your mercy, a part of your beneficence and glad tidings of your miracle, before I die and You capture my soul; and that You impose the angels of death on me to remove my soul.

O God, there is only your glad tiding and there is nothing other than that, which can provide tranquility to my breast, pleasure to my soul, coolness to my eyes, joy to my face, shine to my complexion and peace to my heart. And the effect of its tranquility can become apparent on my complete being.
يَغْبِطُنِيْ بِهَا مَنْ حَضَرَنِيْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، وَ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِيْ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ. تُهَوِّنُ بِهَا عَلَيَّ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ،

And seeing which at the throes of death, all the onlookers, those present there and those who hear, can feel envious.

wa tofarrejo a’nnee behaa kurbatahu wa tokhaffefo behaa a’nnee shiddatahu,
Therefore, through this, You ease the hardships of death and remove its pain and sorrow and lighten its severity;
وَ تَكْشِفُ عَنِّيْ بِهَا سُقْمَهٗ، وَ تُذْهِبُ عَنِّيْ بِهَا هَمَّهٗ وَ حَسْرَتَهٗ، وَ تَعْصِمُنِيْ بِهَا مِنْ اَسَفِهٖ وَ فِتَنِهٖ، وَ تُجِيْرُنِيْ بِهَا مِنْ شَرِّهٖ وَ شَرِّ مَا يَحْضُرُ اَهْلُهٗ، وَ تَرْزُقُنِيْ بِهَا خَيْرَهٗ وَ خَيْرَ مَا يَحْضُرُ عِنْدَهٗ وَ خَيْرَ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ بَعْدَهٗ.

and remove its illness, and cure its sorrow and grief and secure me from its mischief and save me from every calamity that befalls from one, who is dying and with his good,bestow every good that comes down at that time and also bestow that good, which is going to occur after death.

After that bestow me auspiciousness on Judgment Day and in the stage of accounting when the earth splits and the people leave me and the heavenly call makes me swoon, and the blowing of the bugle makes me tremble, and after death, You revive me and make me join the stage of accounting.

O God, there is only your glad tiding and there is nothing other than that, which can provide tranquility to my breast, pleasure to my soul, coolness to my eyes, joy to my face, shine to my complexion and peace to my heart. And the effect of its tranquility can become apparent on my complete being.

yaa ghaayatal muztarril faqeere, wa yaa jaberal a’zmil kaseere, hab lee moobeqaatil jaraa-ere, wa’ fo a’n faazehaatis saraa-ere, wagh sil qalbee min wizril khataayaa, war zuqnee husnal iste’daade lenozoolil manaayaa.
O final hope of the beggar, O joiner of broken bones. Bestow upon me forgiveness and overlook our concealed sins, clean our heart from the dirt of sins and bestow us the best readiness for the time of death.
يَا اَكْرَمَ الْاَكْرَمِيْنَ وَ مُنْتَهٰى اُمْنِيَّةِ السَّائِلِيْنَ، اَنْتَ مَوْلَايَ، فَتَحْتَ لِيْ بَابَ الدُّعَاءِ وَ الْاِنَابَةِ،
yaa akramal akrameena wa muntahaa umniyyatil saaeleena, anta mawlaaya, fatahta lee baabad do-a’a-e wal enaabate,
O the most noble from the nobles and the last center of the hopes of petitioners, You are my master.
فَلَا تُغْلِقْ عَنِّيْ بَابَ الْقَبُوْلِ وَ الْاِجَابَةِ، وَ نَجِّنِيْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَ بَوِّئْنِيْ غُرُفَاتِ الْجِنَانِ،
falaa tughliq a’nnee baabal qaboole wal ejaabate, wanajjenee be-rahmateka menan naare, wa bawweanee ghorofaatil jenaane,
If You have opened the doors of repentance, do not close the doors of acceptance and on the basis of your mercy, save us from the chastisement of hell and accommodate us inthe chambers of Paradise.
وَ اجْعَلْنِيْ مُتَمَسِّكًا بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقٰى، وَ اخْتِمْ لِيْ بِالسَّعَادَةِ.
waj a’lnee motamassekan bil-u’rwatil wusqaa, wakh tim lee bis-sa-a’adate.
Through your strong support give us the good sense (Taufeeq) of attachment and make our end be on righteousness.
وَ اَحْيِنِيْ بِالسَّلَامَةِ يَا ذَا الْفَضْلِ وَ الْكَمَالِ، وَ الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْجَلَالِ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِيْ عَدُوًّا وَ لَا حَاسِدًا،
wa ahyenee bis-salaamate yaa zal fazle wal kamaale, wal i’zzate wal jalaale
Keep us alive with health, O owner of grace and perfection and master of honor and majesty;
وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ سُلْطَانًا عَنِيْدًا وَ لَا شَيْطَانًا مَرِيْدًا،
wa laa tushmit bee a’duwwan wa laa haasedan, wa laa tosallit a’layya sultaanan a’needan wa laa shaytaanin mareedan,
do not give chance to our enemies and jealous ones to ridicule us and do not impose upon us any tyrant or rebellious satan.
بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ، وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ، وَ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِہٖ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِیْمًا.
be-rahmateka yaa arhamar raahemeen, wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil a’liyyil a’zeeme, wa sallal laaho a’laa mohammadin wa aalhi wa sallama tasleeman
Through your perfect mercy, O the best of those, who are merciful. And there is no strength or power, except for Allah, the high and the mighty, and may Allah bless Muhammad and his progeny with the best of the blessings.
