للَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا حَمِدْتَ نَفْسَكَ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَا حَمِدَكَ الْحَامِدُونَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ حَمْداً يَكُونُ أَرْضَى الْحَمْدِ لَكَ وَ أَحَقَّ الْحَمْدِ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَحَبَّ الْحَمْدِ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَفْضَلَ الْحَمْدِ لَدَيْكَ وَ أَقْرَبَ الْحَمْدِ مِنْكَ وَ أَوْجَبَ الْحَمْدِ جَزَاءً عَلَيْكَ

“O‟ my God! Praise belongs to You as You praise Yourself – A better praise than those of Your Creatures who praise You – praise that pleases You the most; the most proper for You; the most loved by You; the noblest praise for You, the closest praise of You and praise that deserves the most reward;

حَمْداً لَا يَبْلُغُهُ وَصْفُ وَاصِفٍ وَ لَا يُدْرِكُهُ نَعْتُ نَاعِتٍ وَ لَا وَهْمُ مُتَوَهِّمٍ وَ لَا فِكْرُ مُتَفَكِّرٍ حَمْداً يَضْعُفُ عَنْهُ كُلُّ أَحَدٍ [أيد] مِمَّنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَقْصُرُ عَنْهُ وَ عَنْ حُدُودِهِ وَ مُنْتَهَاهُ جَمِيعُ الْمَعْصُومِينَ الْمُؤَيَّدِينَ الَّذِينَ أَخَذْتَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ فِي كِتَابِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُغَيَّرُ وَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ حَمْداً يَنْبَغِي لَكَ وَ يَدُومُ مَعَكَ وَ لَا يَصْلُحُ إِلَّا لَكَ

praise that is those who extol cannot describe – whose characteristics those who extol cannot understand; whose image those who imagine cannot comprehend, and whose thought those who think cannot think of Praise which all who reside in the seven Heavens and the seven earths are unable to express; praise that all the Immaculates (as) from whom You took an unchangeable covenant in Your Book cannot reach its extremes; praise that is suitable for You, that lasts with You, and suits only You;

حَمْداً يَعْلُو حَمْدَ كُلِّ حَامِدٍ وَ شُكْراً يُحِيطُ بِشُكْرِ كُلِّ شَاكِرٍ حَمْداً يَبْقَى مَعَ بَقَائِكَ وَ يَزِيدُ إِذَا رَضِيتَ

praise that is superior to the praise of all who praise; gratitude that encompasses that of all who are grateful; praise that survives along with Your Survival and increases whenever You please and grows as You will;

وَ يَنْمِي كُلَّمَا شِئْتَ حَمْداً خَالِداً مَعَ خُلُودِكَ وَ دَائِماً مَعَ دَوَامِكَ كَمَا فَضَّلْتَنَا عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لِمَا وَهَبْتَ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ صِيَامِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

Praise that is as eternal as You are and as everlasting as You are; Praise that is Perpetual with Your Perpetuity for having given us superiority over other creatures and bestowed on us knowledge of You and the fasting of the month of Ramadhan.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَقَامِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بِمَقَامِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَقَبَّلَ صَوْمِي وَ تَصْرِفَ إِلَيَّ وَ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ وَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ نِعَمِكَ وَ رِزْقِكَ الْهَنِي‌ءِ الْمَرِي‌ءِ مَا تَجْعَلُهُ صَلَاحاً لِدِينِنَا وَ قَوَاماً لِآخِرَتِنَا.

O‟ my God! I ask You by the position of Muhammad and Your Prophets (as) to bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as), accept my fasting and bestow on me, my wife, my children, my household, and those under my custody plus all believing men and women, some delicious sustenance out of Your Nobility, Mercy, Well-Being and Blessings that would expedite improvement for our world and sustenance for our afterlife.”
