O He who supported the believers over their enemies,

فَأَصْبَحُوا ظاهِرِينَ‌

 

so they became apparent.

يَا مَنْ‌ بَعَثَ فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولًا مِنْهُمْ

 

O He who sent among the unlettered a Messenger from themselves,

يَتْلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ آياتِهِ وَ يُزَكِّيهِمْ

 

reciting to them His verses, purifying them,

O Best of Providers,

يَا مَنْ‌ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ

 

to Whom belongs the dominion and all praise,

وَ هُوَ عَلى‌ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

 

and He is over all things competent.

O He who created death and life to test which of you is best in deed,

وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا نَاجَيْتُكَ بِهِ

 

O Allah, I ask You, by what I have appealed to You with

فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ شَهْرِي هَذَا

 

on this day and in this month,

الَّذِي عَظَّمْتَهُ وَ شَرَّفْتَهُ وَ كَرَّمْتَهُ

 

which You have magnified, honored, and dignified,

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

 

to send blessings on Muhammad and his pure, good household among Your creation.

وَ أَنْ تُقِيلَنِي [تَقْبَلَنِي‌] عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنِّي

 

And to accept me despite what I have done,

فَقَدْ تَعْلَمُ حَاجَتِي

 

for You know my need.

وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي

 

Grant me my request and desire,

وَ رَغْبَتِي فَأَنْتَ عَالِمٌ بِمَا فِي نَفْسِي

 

for You are aware of what is in my soul.

فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ اقْضِ لِي سَائِرَ حَوَائِجِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي

 

Forgive me my sins, fulfill all my needs, and rectify my affairs.

وَ ارْزُقْنِي خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

 

Grant me the best of this world and the hereafter,

وَ فُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ

 

and free my neck from the Fire.

وَ هَبْ لِي رِضْوَانَكَ وَ الْجَنَّةَ

 

Bestow upon me Your pleasure and Paradise,

فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَكَ يَسِيرُ

 

for that is easy for You,

وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

 

and You are capable of everything,

وَ أَنَا إِلَيْكَ فَقِيرٌ

 

and I am in need of You.

وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ.

 

And may Allah send blessings upon our master Muhammad, the Prophet, and his family, and grant peace.
