بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

bismillahi alrrahmani alrrahimi

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱللَّيلَ لِبَاساً

alhamdu lillahi alladhi ja`ala allayla libasan

All praise be to Allah Who appointed the night to be a garment,

وَٱلنَّوْمَ سُبَاتاً

walnnawma subatan

and sleep for a rest,

وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُوراً

wa ja`ala alnnahara nushuran

and day He appointed for a rising!

لَكَ ٱلْحَمْدُ أَنْ بَعَثْتَنِي مِنْ مَرْقَدِي

laka alhamdu an ba`athtani min marqadi

To You belongs praise, for You roused me from my sleep,

وَلَوْ شِئْتَ جَعَلْتَهُ سَرْمَداً

wa law shi'ta ja`altahu sarmadan

and had You willed, You would have made it everlasting;

حَمْداً دَائِماً لاَ يَنْقَطِعُ اَبَداً

hamdan da'iman la yanqati`u abadan

an endless praise that will never be cut off

وَلاَ يُحْصِي لَهُ ٱلخَلائِقُ عَدَداً

wa la yuhsi lahu alkhala'iqu `adadan

and whose number the creatures will never count!

اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ ٱلْحَمْدُ أَنْ خَلَقْتَ فَسَوَّيْتَ

allahumma laka alhamdu an khalaqta fasawwayta

O Allah, to You belongs praise, for You created, then fashioned,

وَقَدَّرْتَ وَقَضَيْتَ

wa qaddarta wa qadayta

ordained and decreed,

وَ أَمَتَّ وَ أَحْيَيْتَ

wa amatta wa ahyayta

gave death and bestowed life,

وَ أَمْرَضْتَ وَشَفَيْتَ

wa amradta wa shafayta

made sick and healed,

وَعَافَيْتَ وَ أَبْلَيْتَ

wa `afayta wa ablayta

made well and afflicted,

وَعَلَىٰ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱسْتَوَيْتَ

wa `ala al`arshi istawayta

established the Throne

وَعَلَىٰ ٱلْمُلْكِ ٱحْتَوَيْتَ

wa `ala almulki ihtawayta

and encompassed the Kingdom!

أَدْعُوكَ دُعَاءَ مَنْ ضَعُفَتْ وَسِيلَتُهُ

ad`uka du`a'a man da`ufat wasilatuhu

I supplicate You with the supplication of one whose mediation is weak,

وَٱنْقَطَعَتْ حِيلَتُهُ

wanqata`at hilatuhu

whose stratagems have been cut off,

وَٱقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُ

waqtaraba ajaluhu

whose term has drawn near,

وَتَدَانَىٰ فِي ٱلدُّنْيَا أَمَلُهُ

wa tadana fi alddunya amaluhu

whose expectation from this world has shrunk,

وَٱشْتَدَّتْ إِلَىٰ رَحْمَتِكَ فَاقَتُهُ

wa ishtaddat ila rahmatika faqatuhu

whose neediness for Your mercy has intensified,

وَعَظُمَتْ لِتَفْرِيطِهِ حَسْرَتُهُ

wa `azumat litafritihi hasratuhu

whose remorse for his neglect has become great,

وَكَثُرَتْ زَلَّتُهُ وَعَثْرَتُهُ

wa kathurat zallatuhu wa `athratuhu

whose slips and stumbles have become many,

وَخَلُصَتْ لِوَجْهِكَ تَوْبَتُهُ

wa khalusat liwajhika tawbatuhu

and whose repentance is devoted sincerely to Your face.

فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ

fasalli `ala muhammadin

So, bless Muhammad,

خَاتَمِ النَّبِيّينَ

khatami alnnabiyyina

the Seal of the Prophets,

وَعَلَىٰ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ٱلطَّيِّبِينَ ٱلطَّاهِرِينَ

wa `ala ahli baytihi alttayyibina alttahirina

and his Household, the good, the pure,

وَٱرْزُقْنِي شَفَاعَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ

warzuqni shafa`ata muhammadin

and provide me with the intercession of Muhammad,

صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ

salla allahu `alayhi wa alihi

Allah bless him and his Household,

وَلاَ تَحْرِمْنِي صُحْبَتَهُ

wa la tahrimni suhbatahu

and deprive me not of his companionship!

إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ

innaka anta arhamu arrahimina

Surely, You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱقْضِ لِي فِي ٱلأَرْبِعَاءِ اَرْبَعاً

allahumma iqdi li fil-arbu`a'i arba`an

O Allah, decree for me on Wednesday four things:

إِجْعَلْ قُوَّتِي فِي طَاعَتِكَ

ij`al quwwati fi ta`atika

Induce me to be strong in obedience to You,

وَنَشَاطِي فِي عِبَادَتِكَ

wa nashati fi `ibadatika

to be active in worshiping You,

وَرَغْبَتِي فِي ثَوَابِكَ

wa raghbati fi thawabika

to be desirous for Your reward,

وَزُهْدِي فِيمَا يُوجِبُ لِي أَلِيمَ عِقَابِكَ

wa zuhdi fima yujibu li alima `iqabika

and to abstain from that which would make incumbent upon me Your painful punishment!

إِنَّكَ لَطِيفٌ لِمَا تَشَاءُ

innaka latifun lima tasha'u

You are Gentle to whom You will!
