Two Quranic Ayats, Sura 65 Talaq Ayat 2(last part)and Ayt 3 recited after the fajr prayer,

These are recited for relief from an apparently hopeless situation (especially economic)

Background: The story of precious pearl broken into 2 pieces by negligence of a king’s servant, turning out to be a blessing in disguise, by reciting this dua taught by Imam Ali علیه السلام. Dua can be used in the difficult economic situation,

which may sometimes be self-inflicted.

ۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مَخْرَجًا

wa maiyn yattaqil laaha yaj'al lahoo makhrajaa

Whoever is wary of Allah, He shall make for him a way out [of the adversities of the world and the Hereafter]

وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ

Wa yarzuqhu min haisu laa yahtasib;

and provide for him from whence he does not count upon.

وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُۥٓ ۚ

wa many yatawakkal 'alal laahi fahuwa husbuh;

And whoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَـٰلِغُ أَمْرِهِۦ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدْرًا

innal laaha baalighu amrih; qad ja'alal laahu likulli shai'in qadraa

Indeed Allah carries through His commands. Certainly, Allah has ordained a measure [and extent] for everything.

Qutub Rawandi reported from Imam Ali (as) that the Holy Prophet (saws) has stated, that he was afraid for him who does not remember the 4 blessings at dawn & as a result , may be snatched away from him

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ‏ عَرَّفَنِيْ‏ نَفْسَهٗ‏ وَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْنِيْ عَمْيَانَ الْقَلْبِ

alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee a'rrafnee nafsahoo wa lam yatruknee u'myaanal qalbi

All Praise to Allah who made Himself known to me & did not make me blind hearted

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَنِيْ مِنْ اُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہِ وَ اٰلِہ

alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee ja-a'lanee min ummati muh'ammadin s'allallaahu a'layji wa aalihee wa sallam

All Praise to Allah who included me among the followers of Muhammad (saws)

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ رِزْقِيْ فِيْ يَدَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ رِزْقِيْ فِي اَيْدِيْ النَّاسِ

alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee ja-a'la rizqee fee yadihee wa lam yaj-a'lhu fee aydin naasi

All Praise to Allah who has ordained my sustenance to be in HIS own hands & not in the hands of human beings

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ سَتَرَ ذُنُوْبِيْ وَ عُيُوْبِيْ وَ لَمْ يَفْضَحْنِيْ بَيْنَ الْخَلَایِقِ.

alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee satara u'yoobee wa lam yafz'ah'nee baynan naasi

All Praise to Allah who has covered my sins & shortcomings & did not degrade me in the eyes of Human beings

Alternate translation

Praise be to Allah who made me aware of His nafs (reality) and did not forsake me to be one of those whose hearts do not perceive.

Praise to be Allah who gave me (wisdom) to follow and obey Muhammad, blessings of Allah be on him and on his children, and also peace.

Praise be to Allah who has kept my sustenance in His (own) hand and did not give it to other people (like me) from whom I may have to seek it.

Praise be to Allah who covers my defects and shortcomings and does not disclose my infamy among the people. Praise be to Allah, the one and only.

In al-Faqeeh: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) used to say after the Fajr prayer

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَ الْحُزْنِ وَ الْعَجْزِ وَ الْكَسَلِ وَ الْبُخْلِ وَ الْجُبْنِ وَ ضَلْعِ الدَّيْنِ وَ غَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ وَ بَوَارِ الْاَيَّمِ وَ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ الذِّلَّةِ وَ الْقَسْوَةِ وَ الْعَيْلَةِ وَ الْمَسْكَنَةِ

allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka menal hamme wal huzne wal a’jze wal kasale wal bukhle wal jubne wa zal-i’d dayne wa ghalabatir rejaale wa bawaaril ayyaame wal ghaflate waz zillate wal qaswate wal a’ylate wal maskanate

O Allah! I seek protection with You from grief and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, turning away from the truth and idle talk of men, wasting time and negligence, vileness and cruelty, destitution and poverty.

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ مِنْ عَيْنٍ لَا تَدْمَعُ وَ مِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ وَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ (تُرْفَعُ)

wa a-o’ozo beka min nafsin laa tashba-o’ wa min qalbin laa yakhsha-o’ wa min a’ynin laa tadma-o’ wa min do-a’a-in laa yusma-o’ wa min salaatin laa tanfa-o’ (turfa-o’)

And I seek protection with You from the self that never gets satisfied, the heart that does not humble itself, the eye that does not shed tears, the supplication that is not heard, the prayer that does not benefit.

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنِ امْرَاَةٍ تُشَيِّبُنِيْ قَبْلَ اَوَانَ مَشِيْبِيْ وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ رِبًّا وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَالٍ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ عَذَابًا وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِ خَدِيْعَةٍ اِنْ رَاَى حَسَنَةٍ دَفَنَهَا وَ اِنْ رَاَىْ سَيِّئَةً اَفْشَاهَا.

wa a-o’ozo beka menim ra-atin toshayyebonee qabla awaana masheebee wa a-o’ozo beka min waladin yakoono a’layya ribban wa a-o’ozo beka min maalin yakoono a’layya a’zaaban wa a-o’ozo beka min saahebe khadee-a’tin in ra-ay hasanatin da-fa-nahaa wa in ra-ay sayye-atan afshaahaa.

And I seek protection with You from a woman who makes me old before my time, and I seek protection with You from a son who subjugates me, and I seek protection with You from wealth that is a torment for me, and I seek protection from the deceiver who conceals any good that he sees and propagates any evil that he sees.

اَللّٰهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِفَاجِرٍ عَلَیَّ (عِنْدِيْ) يَدًا وَ لَا مِنَّةً.‏

allahumma laa taj-a’l le-faajerin a’layya (i’ndee) yadan wa laa minnatan.

O Allah! Do not let an insolent one ever do me a favor and do not make him expect anything from me.

[1] al-Faqeeh, vol. 1, p. 335; Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 186

In Tahdhib al-Ahkam (by Shaykh al-Tusi), it is reported that whoever repeats the following ten times after the Dawn Prayers, Almighty Allah will save him from blindness, insanity, leprosy, poverty, and (house) demolition or dotage:

سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

subhana allahi al`azimi wa bihamdihi

All glory be to Allah, the All-great and in praise of Him;

وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi al`aliyyi al`azimi

and there is neither might nor power save with Allah, the All-high and All-great.

Syeda Fatima Zehra (s.a) supplication after the Morning Prayer

لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَحْدَہٗ لَا شَرِیْكَ لَہٗ، لَہُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَہُ الْحَمْدُ، یُحْیِیْ وَ یُمِیْتُ، بِیَدِہِ الْخَیْرُ، وَ ہُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ.

laa elaaha illal laaho wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul mulko wa lahul hamdo, yohyee wa yomeeto, be-yadehil khayro, wa howa a’laa kulle shay-in qadeer.

There is no god, except Allah, the one, there is no partner for Him. For Him is the kingdom and for Him is the praise. He enlivens and gives death, in His hands is the good. And He is powerful over everything.

Ten times after the Morning Prayer, and ten times after Maghrib Prayer; all these would earn ten rewards, and ten sins would be forgiven each of them being equal to freeing slave from the progeny of Ismail, and no sin would be there on anyone, except the polytheist. And it is protection for you from all Satans and all evils if you recite between morning and evening

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever recites these six verses every morning, Allah will protect them from any adversity, even if they were already in danger.”

*قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّـهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّـهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ*

"Say, ‘Nothing will befall us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Master, and in Allah let the faithful trust.'"(al-Tawbah, 9:51)

*وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّـهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ ۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ*

"And if Allah should touch you with affliction, none can remove it save He; and if He intends for you good, none can hold back His Bounty. He causes it to reach whomsoever He wills among His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (Yunus, 10:107)

*وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّـهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ*

"And there is no creature on earth but that its sustenance lies with Allah, and He knows its [enduring] abode and its temporary place of lodging. All is in a manifest Book."Hud, 11:6)

*وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَابَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّـهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ*

"And how many a creature bears not its own provision, yet God provides for it and for you? And He is the All-Hearing and All-Knowing."(al-'Ankabut, 29:60)

*مَّا يَفْتَحِ اللَّـهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ*

"Whatever mercy Allah unfolds for mankind, none shall withhold. And whatever he withholds, none shall release thereafter. And He is the Almighty, the Wise."(al-Fatir, 35:2)

*وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّـهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِيَ اللَّـهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَاشِفَاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَاتُ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ*

"And were you to ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' They would surely say, 'Allah.' Say, ‘Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? Should Allah desire some harm for me, can they remove His Harm? Or, should He desire some mercy for me, can they withhold His Mercy?’ Say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me. In Him, let the trusting put their trust.’" (al-Zumar, 39:38)

*After reciting above verses say:*

*حسْبِیَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَیْهِ تَوَکَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِیمِ‏ وَأَمْتَنِعُ بِحَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ وَقُوَّتِهِمْ وَأَسْتَشْفِعُ‏ بِرَبِّ‏ الْفَلَقِ‏ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ‏ وَأَعُوذُ بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّهَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیمِ.*

"Say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god except Him. In Him, I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne. I seek protection in Allah's Power and Strength from that of others, and I ask the intercession of the Lord of the Daybreak from the evil of what He has created. I seek refuge in what Allah wills; there is no power except with Allah, the Exalted, the Magnificent.'"

Sheikh Bahaayi writes regarding the supplications to be recited after the dawn prayer Ref :Miftah ul Falah: p. 206; Misbah ul Muta’hajjid: p. 53 :

يا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ .

“O’ Lord of Mohammad and his Holy Progeny, send mercy upon Mohammad and his Holy Progeny, and show haste in the relief of Mohammad and his Holy Progeny.”

t hand and raising your left hand towards the sky, repeat seven times:

Majlisi (may Allah have mercy on him) in "Al-maqbaas" reported under the topic "The supplication after dawn prayer" that one should recite the following before he talks to any one:

يا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَأَعْتِقْ رَقَبَتي مِنَ النَّارِ.

O' my Lord! Send blessing to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and quicken the relief of Muhammad's family and let me free from Hell fire.

Ch6 - 5 -Imam Reza (a.s.) advised to recite forty one (41) times,

یَا عَزِیْزُ.

YAA A’ZEEZO.

O Mighty.

He said "whoever recites with complete humbleness and humility, paying full attention, in the presence of Almighty Allah, will never be indigent of any creature and will get honor and popularity among the people.”

Shaykh al-Kulayni reports Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) as saying: Whoever repeats the following seven times after the Dawn and Sunset Prayers, Almighty Allah will save him from seventy kinds of misfortune the least of which are , leprosy, and insanity; and his name will be erased from the list of the condemned ones, if it was listed there

O my God: If there is a defect or a deficiency in my prayer, whether in the genuflection or the prostration; then do not reproach me for it; rather, confer upon me with Your acceptance (of it) and forgiveness (of me) by Your Mercy, O the Most Merciful!

Importance of a ring of Aqeeq and looking at it in the morning and while praying

Thirty-eighth: Sayyid Ibn Tawus has reported Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (‘a) as saying that whoever begins his morning wearing a ring of an agate stone in the right hand, turns the stone of the ring to the side of the palm of the hand before looking at anything else, looks at the stone, recites Surah al-Qadr, and says this devotional statement, Almighty Allah will safeguard him on that day from whatever descends from the heavens, whatever ascends to it, whatever comes into the earth, and whatever comes out of it, and he will be under the protection of Almighty Allah and one of his beloved servants up to the night:

اٰمَنْتُ بِاللهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَ كَفَرْتُ بِالْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوْتِ،وَ اٰمَنْتُ بِسِرِّ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ،وَ ظَاهِرِهِمْ وَ بَاطِنِهِمْ وَ اَوَّلِهِمْ وَ اٰخِرِهِمْ۔

"Amantu billahi waḥdahu lā sharīka lahū wa kafartu bil-jibt wa al-ṭāghūt, wa amantu bi-sirri āli Muḥammadin wa ʿalāniyatihim, wa ẓāhirihim wa bāṭinihim wa awwalihim wa ākhirihim.

I believe in Allah alone, with no partners, and I reject idols and false deities. I believe in the secrets and manifestations of the family of Muhammad, their outward and inward qualities, their beginning and their end

Recite 2 Rakat Nafila of Fajr

4.In his book of al-`Arus, Shaykh Ja`far ibn Ahmad al-Qummi has recorded that Imam al-Sadiq (as) is reported to have said that one who repeats the following litany one hundred times between the Dawn nafila (2 rakat before fajr) and obligatory prayers will be provided with, a house in Paradise:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ ٱلْعَظيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

subhana rabbiya al`azimi wa bihamdihi

All glory be to Allah, the All-great and with the Praising of Him;

astaghfiru allaha rabbi wa atubu ilayhi

I pray the forgiveness of Allah, my Lord, and I turn repentant to Him.

Imam Sadiq(as) said to recite this 10 times after Magrib and Fajr

Bismi Allāhi Ar-Raḥmāni Ar-Raḥīm. 'Amsaytu wa 'asbahtu billāhi mu'minan 'alā dīni Muḥammadin (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-ālihī wa-sallam) wa sunnatihi wa 'alā dīni 'Alīyyin (ʿalayhi as-salām) wa sunnatihi wa 'alā dīni Fāṭimata (ʿalayha as-salām) wa sunnatiha wa 'alā dīni al-'awṣiyā'i ṣalawātu Allāhi ʿalayhim was-sunnatihim.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate. I have become a believer in Allah, on the religion of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his Sunnah, on the religion of Ali (peace be upon him) and his Sunnah, and on the religion of Fatima (peace be upon her) and her Sunnah, and the religion of the Awsiya (peace be upon them) and their Sunnah. I believe in their secrets and their public actions, and I seek refuge in Allah in this night of mine and in my day from what Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, and the Awsiya sought refuge from. I ask Allah for what they asked for, and there is no power or strength except in Allah.

and whatever vow I have made during it,

فَمَشِيَّتُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ ذٰلِكَ كُلِّهِ

Hence, only that which You will to have effect will come to pass

allahumma ighfir li wa tajawaz `anni

O Allah, (please) forgive me and overlook my offenses.

O Allah, whosoever You bless, then I invoke Your blessings upon him

وَمَنْ لَعَنْتَ فَلَعْنَتِي عَلَيْهِ

This act should be done once a month at least.

وَلِفَقْرِي إِلَيْكَ

fa'inni lam usib khayran qattu illa minka

Verily, I have not gained any good thing save from You

وَلَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنِّي سُوءاً قَطُّ أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ

wa lastu arju li-akhirati wa dunyaya wa

I hope for none to stand for me in my affairs of this world and the Next World

وَلاَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِي

and on the day of my poverty,

يَوْمَ يُفْرِدُنِي ٱلنَاسُ فِي حُفْرَتِي

when people will leave me alone in my hole (i.e. grave)

wa ufdi ilayka bidhanbi siwaka

and I will then confess of my sins before You, except You.

walmasiki min asbabika bihabli alshsharafi al-atwali

who, of Your ropes, clings to the cord of the longest nobility,

وَٱلنَّاصِعِ ٱلْحَسَبِ فِي ذِرْوَةِ ٱلْكَاهِلِ ٱلأَعْبَلِ

walnnasi`i alhasabi fi dhirwati alkahili al-a`bali

whose pure lineage evident at the summit of stout shoulders,

وَٱلثَّابِتِ ٱلْقَدَمِ عَلَىٰ زَحَاِليْفِهَا فِي ٱلزَّمَنِ ٱلأَوَّلِ

walththabiti alqadami `ala zahalifiha fi alzzamani al-awwali

and whose feet were entrenched in spite of slippery places in ancient time.

وَعَلَىٰ آلِهِ ٱلأَخْيَارِ ٱلْمُصْطَفَيْنَ ٱلأَبْرَارِ

wa `ala alihi al-akhyari almustafayna al-abrari

And [bless] his household, the good, chosen, and pious.

وٱفْتَحِ اللَّهُمَّ لَنَا مَصَارِيعَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ

waftah allahumma lana masari`a alssabahi

Open for us, O Allah, the leaves of the morning's door

بِمَفَاتِيحِ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَٱلْفَلاَحِ

wa albisni allahumma min afdali khila`i alhidayati walssalahi

Clothe me, O Allah, with the most excellent robes of guidance and righteousness!

wa ighris allahumma bi`azamatika fi shirbi janani yanabi`a alkhushu`i

Plant, O Allah, through Your tremendousness, the springs of humility in the watering place of my heart!

wa ajri allahumma lihaybatika min amaqi zafarati alddumu`i

Cause to flow, O Allah, through fear of You, tears of moaning from the corners of my eyes!

وَأَدِّبِ ٱللَّهُمَّ نَزَقَ ٱلْخُرْقِ مِنِّي بِأَزِمَّةِ ٱلْقُنُوعِ

wa addib allahumma nazaqa alkhurqi minni bi-azimmati alqunu`i

Chastise, O Allah, the recklessness of my clumsiness with the reins of contentment!

ilahi in lam tabtadi'ni alrrahmatu minka bihusni alttawfiqi

My God, if mercy from You does not begin with fair success for me,

فَمَنِ ٱلسَّاِلكُ بِي إِلَيْكَ فِي وَاضِحِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ

faman alssaliku bi ilayka fi wadihi alttariqi

then who can take me to You upon the evident path?

وَإِنْ أَسْلَمَتْنِي أَنَاتُكَ لِقَائِدِ ٱلأَمَلِ وَٱلْمُنَىٰ

wa in aslamatni anatuka liqa'idi al-amali walmuna

If Your deliberateness should turn me over to the guide of hope and wishes,

فَمَنِ ٱلْمُقِيلُ عَثَرَاتِي مِنْ كَبَوَاتِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ

faman almuqilu `atharati min kabawati alhawa

then who will annul my slips from the stumbles of caprice?

وَإِنْ خَذَلَنِي نَصْرُكَ عِنْدَ مُحَارَبَةِ ٱلنَّفْسِ وَٱلشَّيْطَانِ

wa in khadhalani nasruka `inda muharabati alnnafsi walshshaytani

If Your help should forsake me in the battle against the soul and Satan,

فَقَدْ وَكَلَنِي خِذْلاَنُكَ إِلَىٰ حَيْثُ ٱلنَّصَبِ وَٱلْحِرْمَانِ

faqad wakalani khidhlanuka ila haythu alnnasabi walhirmani

then Your forsaking will have submitted me to where there is hardship and deprivation.

إِلٰهِي أَتَرَانِي مَا أَتَيْتُكَ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ ٱلآمَاِل

ilahi atarani ma ataytuka illa min haythu al-amali

My God, do You see that I have only come to You from the direction of hopes,

أَمْ عَلِقْتُ بِأَطْرَافِ حِبَاِلكَ إِلاَّ حِينَ بَاعَدَتْنِي ذُنُوبِي عَنْ دَارِ ٱلْوِصَاِل

am `aliqtu bi-atrafi hibalika illa hina ba`adatni dhunubi `an dari alwisali

or clung to the ends of Your cords when my sins have driven me from the house of union?

فَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَطِيَّةُ الَّتِي ٱمْتَطَتْ نَفْسِي مِنْ هَوَاهَا

fabi'sa almatiyyatu allati imtatat nafsi min hawaha

So what an evil mount upon which my soul has mounted-its caprice!

فَوَاهاً لَهَا لِمَا سَوَّلَتْ لَهَا ظُنُونُهَا وَمُنَاهَا

fawahan laha lima sawwalat laha zununuha wa munaha

Woe upon it for being seduced by its own opinions and wishes!

وَتَبّاً لَهَا لِجُرْأَتِهَا عَلَىٰ سَيِّدِهَا وَمَوْلاهَا

wa tabban laha lijur'atiha `ala sayyidiha wa mawlaha

Destruction be upon it for its audacity toward its Master and Protector!

إِلٰهِي قَرَعْتُ بَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ بِيَدِ رَجَائِي

ilahi qara`tu baba rahmatika biyadi raja'i

My God, I have knocked upon the door of Your mercy with the hand of my hope,

وَهَرَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ لاَجِئاً مِنْ فَرْطِ أَهْوَائِي

wa harabtu ilayka laji'an min farti ahwa'i

fled to You seeking refuge from my excessive caprice,

وَعَلَّقْتُ بِأَطْرَافِ حِبَاِلكَ أَنَامِلَ وَلائِي

wa `allaqtu bi-atrafi hibalika anamila wala'i

and fixed the fingers of my love to the ends of Your cords.

فَٱصْفَحِ اللَّهُمَّ عَمَّا كُنتُ أَجْرَمْتُهُ مِنْ زَلَلِي وَخَطَائِي

fasfah allahumma `amma kuntu ajramtuhu min zalali wa khata'i

So pardon, O Allah, the slips and errors I have committed,

وَأَقِلْنِي مِنْ صَرْعَةِ رِدَائِي

wa aqilni min sar`ati rida'i

and release me from the foot-tangling of my robe,

فَإِنَّكَ سَيِّدِي وَمَوْلايَ وَمُعْتَمَدِي وَرَجَائِي

fa'innaka sayyidi wa mawlaya wa mu`tamadi wa raja'i

for You are my Master, my Protector, my Support and my Hope,

وَأَنتَ غَايَةُ مَطْلُوبِي وَمُنَايَ فِي مُنْقَلَبِي وَمَثْوايَ

wa anta ghayatu matlubi wa munaya fi munqalabi wa mathwaya

and You are the object of my search and my desire in my ultimate end and stable abode.

إِلٰهِي كَيْفَ تَطْرُدُ مِسْكِيناً ٱلْتَجَأَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلذُّنُوبِ هَارِباً

ilahi kayfa tatrudu miskinan iltaja'a ilayka mina aldhdhunubi hariban

My God, how could You drive away a poor beggar who seeks refuge in You from sins, fleeing?

أَم كَيْفَ تُخَيِّبُ مُستَرْشِداً قَصَدَ إِلَىٰ جَنَابِكَ سَاعِياً

am kayfa tukhayyibu mustarshidan qasada ila janabika sa`iyan

How could You disappoint one seeking guidance who repairs to Your threshold, running?

أَمْ كَيْفَ تَرُدُّ ظَمْآناً وَرَدَ إِلَىٰ حِيَاضِكَ شَارِباً

am kayfa taruddu zam'anan warada ila hiyadika shariban

How could You reject a thirsty man who comes to Your pools to drink?

كَلاَّ وَحِيَاضُكَ مُتْرَعَةٌ فِي ضَنْكِ ٱلْمُحُولِ

kalla wa hiyaduka mutra`atun fi danki almuhuli

Never! For Your pools are full in the hardship of drought,

وَبَابُكَ مَفْتُوحٌ لِلطَّلَبِ وَٱلْوُغُولِ

wa babuka maftuhun lilttalabi walwughuli

Your door is open for seeking and penetration,

وَأَنتَ غَايَةُ ٱلْمَسْؤُولِ وَنِهَايَةُ ٱلْمَأْمُولِ

wa anta ghayatu almas'uli wa nihayatu alma'muli

and You are the goal of requests and the object of hopes.

إِلٰهِي هٰذِهِ أَزِمَّةُ نَفْسِي عَقَلْتُهَا بِعِقَاِل مَشِيئَتِكَ

ilahi hadhihi azimmatu nafsi `aqaltuha bi`iqali mashi'atika

My God, these are the reins of my soul I have bounded with the ties of Your will.

وَهٰذِهِ أَعْبَاءُ ذُنُوبِي دَرَاْتُهَا بِعَفْوِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ

wa hadhihi a`ba'u dhunubi dara'tuha bi`afwika wa rahmatika

These are the burdens of my sins I have averted with Your pardon and mercy.

wa hadhihi ahwa'i almudillatu wakaltuha ila janabi lutfika wa ra'fatika

These are my misleading caprices I have referred to the threshold of Your gentleness and kindliness.

فَٱجْعَلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ صَبَاحِي هٰذَا نَازِلاً عَلَيَّ بِضِيَاءِ ٱلْهُدَىٰ

faj`al allahumma sabahi hadha nazilan `alayya bidiya'i alhuda

So, make this morning of mine, O Allah, descend upon me with the radiance of guidance

وَبِٱلسَّلاَمَةِ فِي ٱلدِّينِ وَٱلدُّنْيَا

wa bilssalamati fi alddini walddunya

and safety in religion and this world!

In Your hand is the good

إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Through Your power, You have joined disparate things,

وَفَلَقْتَ بِلُطْفِكَ ٱلْفَلَقَ

through Your gentleness, You have cleaved apart the daybreak,
