لَهِي [اللَّهُمَ] كَلَّفْتَنِي مِنْ نَفْسِي مَا أَنْتَ أَمْلَكُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ قُدْرَتُكَ أَعْلَى مِنْ قُدْرَتِي
“O‟ my God! You have obliged me to do what You have more control of than I do, and You have more Power to do it than I do.
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي مِنْ نَفْسِي مَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ رِضَاهَا مِنْ نَفْسِي
Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as) and grant me what would please You with me and take away from me what would please You with me.
إِلَهِي لَا طَاقَةَ لِي بِالْجُهْدِ وَ لَا صَبْرَ لِي عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ لِي عَلَى الْفَقْرِ
O‟ my God! I have no strength to struggle. I have no patience for calamities and I have no strength to stand poverty.
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَحْظُرْ عَلَى رِزْقِي [رِزْقِكَ] فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَ لَا تُلْجِئْنِي إِلَى خَلْقِكَ
Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as). Please do not prohibit Your sustenance to me in this blessed month and do not make me in need of Your creatures
بَلْ تَفَرَّدْ يَا سَيِّدِي بِحَاجَتِي وَ تَوَلَّ كِفَايَتِي وَ انْظُرْ فِي أُمُورِي
O‟ my Master! Please take care of my affairs and fulfill my needs by Yourself.
فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ وَكَّلْتَنِي إِلَى خَلْقِكَ تَجَهَّمُونِي وَ إِنْ أَلْجَأْتَنِي إِلَى أَهْلِي [قَرَابَتِي] حَرَمُونِي وَ مَقَتُونِي
If You leave me to Your creatures they shall maltreat me, and if You leave me to my relatives, they will deprive me and be animous to me.
وَ إِنْ أَعْطَوْا أَعْطَوْا قَلِيلًا نَكِداً وَ مَنُّوا عَلَيَّ كَثِيراً وَ ذَمُّوا طَوِيلًا
If they give me anything, it will be very little. Then they will mention it often and blame me for a long time.
فَبِفَضْلِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي فَأَغْنِنِي وَ بِعَطِيَّتِكَ فَانْعَشْنِي وَ بِسَعَتِكَ فَابْسُطْ يَدِي وَ بِمَا عِنْدَكَ فَاكْفِنِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O‟ my Master! Please enrich me through Your Nobility! Please provide for my living through Your Bestowal. Expand my wealth through Your Generosity and make me needless of what You possess. O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.”
