اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَخْزُونِ الطَّاهِرِ الْمُطَهَّرِ

“O‟ my God! I ask You by Your safely treasured Name, the Pure, the Purified.

يَا مَنِ اسْتَجَابَ لِأَبْغَضِ خَلْقِهِ إِلَيْهِ إِذْ قَالَ‌ أَنْظِرْنِي إِلى‌ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ‌

O‟ He who is respondent to His most despised creatures when they say, „O‟ my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised.

فَإِنِّي لَا أَكُونُ أَسْوَءَ حَالًا مِنْهُ فِيمَا سَأَلْتُكَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي فِيمَا دَعْوَتُكَ [دَعْوَتَكَ‌] وَ أَعْطِنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ

My condition is not any worse than that. O‟ my Master! I ask You to fulfill my prayers and bestow on me what I ask for.

إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍوَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِكَ

‟I ask You to bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as) and let me be one whose help You seek for Your Religion;

وَ تُقَاتِلُ بِهِ عَدُوَّكَ فِي الصَّفِّ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ فَقُلْتَ‌ كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ‌ مَعَ أَحَبِّ خَلْقِكَ إِلَيْكَ فِي أَحَبِّ الْمَوَاطِنِ لَدَيْكَ

fighting Your enemies like those whom You mentioned in Your Book when You said, „as if they were a solid cemented structure‟2 - with the best creature and in the best place near You.

اللَّهُمَّ وَ فِي صُدُورِ الْكَافِرِينَ فَعَظِّمْنِي وَ فِي أَعْيُنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَجَلِّلْنِي وَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَذَلِّلْنِي وَ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ بَغِّضْ إِلَيَّ مَنْ أَبْغَضْتَ

O‟ my God! Please exalt me in the eyes of the believers, and belittle me in my eyes and the eyes of my relatives.

وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِأَحَبِّ الْأُمُورِ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَرْضَاهَا لَدَيْكَ

Let me love those whom You Love, let me despise those whom You despise, and let me succeed in doing what You Like and what pleases You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي مِنْكَ إِلَيْكَ أَفِرُّ وَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مِنْ خَوْفِي عَدْلَكَ

O‟ my God! I flee to You from You. This is only because I fear Your Justice,

وَ إِيَّاكَ أَسْأَلُ بِكَ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دُونَكَ وَ لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَسْتَتِرَ مِنْكَ فِي لَيْلٍ وَ لَا نَهَارٍ

and I ask You for Your Sake since others are all lower than You are. And I cannot hide myself from You at night or during the day.

وَ أَنَا عَارِفٌ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ مُقِرٌّ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ أَحَطْتَ

I know of Your Lordship and confess to Your Oneness.

يَا إِلَهِي خُبْراً بِأَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ لَا يَشْغَلُكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ عَنْ شَيْ‌ءٍ

O‟ my God! Your Knowledge encompasses all the residents of the heavens and the earth. Nothing shall hinder you from anything else.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ‌ إِنَّكَ عَلى‌ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

There is no God but You! You have power over all things.
