The Last Night of ramadan

أَسْتَغْفِرُ الله وأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

I seek the forgiveness of Allah and I repent before Him.

اللَّهُمَّ هٰذَا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِي انْزَلْتَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْآنَ وَقَدْ تَصَرَّمَ

allahumma hadha shahru ramadana alladhi anzalta fihi alQur'ana wa qad tasarrama

O Allah, this month of Ramadhan in which You revealed the Qur'an is about to come to its end.

وَاعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ يَا رَبِّ

wa a`udhu biwajhika alkarimi ya rabbi

I seek refuge with Your Noble Face, O Lord,

انْ يَطْلُعَ ٱلْفَجْرُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِي هٰذِهِ

an yatlu`a alfajru min laylati hadhihi

that it dawns tonight

اوْ يَتَصَرَّمَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ

aw yatasarrama shahru ramadana

or the month of Ramadhan elapses

وَلَكَ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ اوْ ذَنْبٌ تُرِيدُ انْ تُعَذِّبَنِي بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقَاكَ

wa laka qibali tabi`atun aw dhanbun turidu an tu`adhdhibani bihi yawma alqaka

but I am still liable to an offense or a sin that You want to punish me for committing it when I will meet You.

يَا مُدَبّرَ الأُمُورِ،

yaa madabbiral umoor

O the Director of all affairs;

يَا بَاعِثَ مَنْ فِي القُبُورِ،

yaa baa—i’tha man fil quboor

O the Resurrector of all those in graves;

يَا مُجْرِيَ البُحُورِ،

yaa mujriyal buh’oor

O He Who causes oceans to flow;

يَا مُلَيّنَ الحَدِيدِ لِدَاوُدَ

yaa mulayyinal h’adeedi li—dawood

O He Who made the iron pliant for (Prophet) David;

صَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ…

s’aali a’laa muh’aamadin wa aali muh’ammad

(Please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad

و افعل بی...

waf—a’lbee

And do for me (mention your legitimate desires)

أللَّهُمَّ يَا مَنْ لا يَرْغَبُ فِي الْجَزَاءِ،

al-laahum-ma yaa mal-laa yar-ghabu fil-jazaaa-i

1.O God, O He who desires no repayment!

وَلاَ يَنْدَمُ عَلَى الْعَطَآءِ،

wa yaa mal-laa yandamu a'laal-a't'aaa-i

2.O He who shows no remorse at bestowal!

وَيَا مَنْ لاَ يُكَافِئُ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى السَّوآءِ،

wa yaa mal-laa yukaafi-u a'b-dahoo a'laas-sawaaa-i

3.O He who rewards not His servant tit for tat!

مِنَّتُكَ ابْتِدَاءٌ، وَعَفْوُكَ تَفَضُّلٌ،

min-natuka ab-tidaaa- wa a'f-wuka tafaz'-z'ul

4.Your kindness is a new beginning, Your pardon gratuitous bounty,

وَعُقُوبَتُكَ عَـدْلٌ، وَقَضَاؤُكَ خِيَرَةٌ،

wa u'qoobatuka a'd-l wa qaz'aaaw-uka kheearah

5.Your punishment justice, Your decree a choice for the best!

إنْ أَعْطَيْتَ لَمْ تَشُبْ عَطَآءَكَ بِمَنٍّ،

in aa'-t'ay-ta lam tashub a't'aaa-aka biman

6.If You bestowest, You stainest not Your bestowal with obligation,

وَإنْ مَنَعْتَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْعُكَ تَعَدِّيا

wa im-mana'-ta lam yakum-man-u'ka taa'd-deeaa

7.and if You withholdest, You withholdest not in transgression.

تَشْكُرُ مَنْ شَكَرَكَ وَأَنْتَ أَلْهَمْتَهُ شُكْرَكَ،

tash-kuru man shkaraka wa anta al-ham-tahoo shuk-rak

8.You showest gratitude to him who thanks You, while You hast inspired him to thank You.

وَتُكَافِئُ مَنْ حَمِدَكَ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّمْتَهُ حَمْدَكَ،

wa tukaafi-u man h'amidaka wa anta a'l-lam-tahoo h'am-dak

9.You rewardest him who praises You, while though You hast taught him Your praise.

تَسْتُرُ عَلَى مَنْ لَوْ شِئْتَ فَضَحْتَهُ

wa tas-turu a'laa mal-law shi-ta faz'ah'-tah

10.You coverest him whom, if You willed, You wouldst expose,

وَتَجُودُ عَلَى مَنْ لَوْ شِئْتَ مَنَعْتَهُ،

wa tajoodu a'laa mal-law shi-ta manaa'-tah

11.and You art generous toward him from whom, if You willed, You wouldst withhold.

وَكِلاَهُمَا أَهْلٌ مِنْكَ لِلْفَضِيحَةِ وَالْمَنْعِ،

wa kilaahumaaa ah-lum-minka lil-faz'eeh'ati wal-man-i'

12.Both are worthy of Your exposure and withholding,

غَيْرَ أَنَّكَ بَنَيْتَ أَفْعَالَكَ عَلَى التَّفَضُّلِ،

ghay-ra an-nak banay-ta afaa'alaka a'laat-tafaz'-z'ul

13.but You hast founded Your acts upon gratuitous bounty,

وَأَجْرَيْتَ قُدْرَتَكَ عَلَى التَّجَاوُزِ،

wa aj-ray-ta qud-rataka a'laat-tajaawuz

14.channelled Your power into forbearance,

وَتَلَقَّيْتَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ بِالحِلْمِ،

wa talaq-qay-ta man a's'aaka bil-h'il-m

15.received him who disobeyed You with clemency,

وَأمْهَلْتَ مَنْ قَصَدَ لِنَفْسِهِ بِالظُّلْمِ

wa am-hal-ta man qas'ada linaf-sihee biz'-z'ul-m

16.and disregarded him who intended wrongdoing against himself.

تَسْتَنْظِرُهُمْ بِأناتِكَ إلى الإنَابَةِ وَتَتْرُكُ مُعَاجَلَتَهُمْ إلَى التَّوْبَةِ

tastanz'iruhum bi naatika ilaal-inaabah wtat-ruku mua'ajalatahum ilaat-taw-bah

17.You awaitest their turning back without haste and refrainest from rushing them toward repentance,

لِكَيْلاَ يَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ هَالِكُهُمْ،

likay-laa yah-lika a'lay-ka haalikuhum

18.so that the perisher among them may not perish because of You

وَلا يَشْقَى بِنِعْمَتِكَ شَقِيُّهُمْ

wa laa yash-qaa binia'-matika shaqee-yuhum

19.and the wretched may not be wretched through Your favour,

إلاَّ عَنْ طُولِ الإِعْذَارِ إلَيْهِ،

il-laa a'n t'oolil-ia'-d'aari ilay-h

20.but only after Your prolonged excusing him

وَبَعْدَ تَرَادُفِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِ

wa baa'-da taraadufil-h'uj-jati a'lay-h

21.and successive arguments against him,

كَرَماً مِنْ عَفْوِكَ يَا كَرِيْمُ،

karamam-min a'f-wika yaa kareem

22.as an act of generosity through Your pardon, O Generous,

وَعَائِدَةً مِنْ عَطْفِكَ يَا حَلِيمُ.

wa a'aa-idatam-min a't'-fika yaa h'aleem

23.and an act of kindliness through Your tenderness, O Clement!

أَنْتَ الَّذِيْ فَتَحْتَ لِعِبَادِكَ بَاباً

antal-lad'ee fatah'-ta lii'baadika baaban

24.It is You who hast opened for Your servants a door

إلَى عَفْوِكَ وَسَمَّيْتَهُ التَّوْبَـةَ،

ilaa a'f-wika wasam-may-tahut-taw-bah

25.to Your pardon, which You hast named 'repentance'.

وَجَعَلْتَ عَلَى ذلِكَ البَابِ دَلِيلاً مِنْ وَحْيِكَ

wa jaa'l-ta a'laa d'alikal-baabi daleelam-miw-wah'-yika

26.You hast placed upon that door a pointer from Your revelation,

لِئَلاَّ يَضِلُّوا عَنْهُ فَقُلْتَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ :

li-al-laa yaz'il-loo a'n-hoo faqul-ta tabaaraka as-muka:

27.lest they stray from it: You hast said (blessed is Your Name),

(تُوبُوا إلَى الله تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ

(tooboo ilaal-laahee taw-batan-nas'ooh'ana a'saa rab-bukum

28."Repent toward God with unswerving repentance! It may be that Your Lord

أَنْ يُكَفِّـرَ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ

ay-yukaf-fira a'nkum say-yi-aatikum wayud-khilakum

29.will acquit of your evil deeds and will admit you into

جَنَّات تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأنْهَارُ

jan-naatin taj-ree min tah'-tihaal-an-haaru

30.gardens beneath which rivers flow,

يَوْمَ لاَ يُخْزِي اللهُ النَّبِيَّ

yaw-ma laa yukh-zeel-laahun-nabee-ya

31.upon the day when God will not degrade the Prophet

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَانِهِمْ

wal-lad'eena aaamanoo maa'hoo nooruhum yas-a'a bay-na ay-deehim wabiay-maanihim

32.and those who have faith along with him, their light running before them and on their right hands,

يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَتْمِمْ لَنا نُورَنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا

yaqooloona rab-banaaa at-mim lanaa nooranaa wagh-fir lanaaa

33.and they say: 'Our Lord, complete for us our light, and forgive us!

إنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْء قَدِيرٌ)

in-naka a'laa kul-li shay-in qadeerun)

34.Surely You art powerful over everything" (66:8).

فَمَا عُذْرُ مَنْ أَغْفَلَ دُخُولَ ذلِكَ الْمَنْزِلِ

famaa u'd'-ru man agh-fala dukhoola d'alikal-manzili

35.What is the excuse of him who remains heedless of entering that house

بَعْدَ فَتْحِ الْبَابِ وَإقَامَةِ الدَّلِيْلِ،

baa'-da fat-h'il-baabi wa iqaamatid-daleeli?

36.after the opening of the door and the setting up of the pointer?

وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي زِدْتَ فِي السَّوْمِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ لِعِبَادِكَ

wa antal-lad'ee zit-ta fis-saw-mi a'laa naf-sika lii'baadika

37.It is You who hast raised the price against Yourself to the advantage of Your servants,

تُرِيدُ رِبْحَهُمْ فِي مُتَاجَرَتِهِمْ لَكَ،

tureed rib-h'ahum fee mutaajaratihm lak

38.desiring their profit in their trade with You,

وَفَوْزَهُمْ بِالْوِفَادَةِ عَلَيْكَ وَالزِّيادَةِ مِنْكَ

wa faw-zahum bil-wifaadati a'lay-ka waz-zeeaadati mink

39.their triumph through reaching You, and their increase on account of You,

فَقُلْتَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ:

faqul-ta tabaaraka as-muka wa taa'alay-ta:

40.for You hast said (blessed is Your Name and high art You exalted),

(مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا

(man jaaa-a bil-h'asanati falahoo a'sh-ru am-thaalihaa

41."Whoso brings a good deed shall have ten the like of it,

وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلاَ يُجْزى إلاّ مِثْلَهَا)

waman jaaa-a bis-say-yi-ati falaa yuj-zaaa il-laa mith-lahaa)

42.and whoso brings an evil deed shall only be recompensed the like of it" (6:160).

وَقُلْتَ: (مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ الله كَمَثَلِ حَبَّة

wa qul-t: (mathalul-lad'eena yunfiqoona am-waalahum fee sabeelil-laahee kamathali h'ab-batin

43.You hast said, "The likeness of those who expend their wealth in the way of God is as the likeness of a grain of corn

أَنْبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنْبُلَة مَائَةُ حَبَّة

ambatat sab-a' sanaabila fee kul-li sumbulatim-mia-atu h'ab-bati

44.that sprouts seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains;

وَالله يُضَاعِفُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ)

wal-laahoo yuz'aai'fu limay-yashaaa-u)

45.so God multiplies unto whom He wills" (2:261).

وَقُلْتَ: (مَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يُقْرِضُ الله قَرْضاً حَسَنَاً

waqul-ta: (man d'aal-lad'ee yuq-riz'ul-laaha qar-z'an h'asanana

46.You hast said, "Who is he that will lend to God a good loan,

فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أضْعَافاً كَثِيرَةً)

fayuz'aai'fahoo lahooo az'-a'afana katheeratah)

47.and He will multiply it for him manifold" (2:245)?

وَمَا أَنْزَلْتَ مِنْ نَظَائِرِهِنَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ تَضَاعِيفِ الْحَسَنَاتِ،

wa maaa anzal-ta min naz'aaa-irihin-na fil-qur-aaani min taz'aae'efil-h'asanaat

48.And You hast sent down in the Qur'an similar verses on the multiplying of good deeds.

وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي دَلَلْتَهُمْ بِقَوْلِكَ مِنْ غَيْبِكَ وَتَرْغِيْبِكَ

wa antal-lad'ee dalal-tahum biqaw-lika min ghay-bika wa tar-gheebika

49.It is You who hast pointed them through Your speech from Your Unseen and Your encouragement

الَّذِي فِيهِ حَظُّهُمْ عَلَى مَا لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ عَنْهُمْ

lad'ee feehee h'az'-z'uhum a'laa maa law satar-tahoo a'n-hum

50.in which lies their good fortune toward that which - hadst You covered it from them

لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُ أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَلَمْ تَعِـهِ أَسْمَاعُهُمْ

lam tud-rik-hooo ab-s'aaruhum- wa lam tai'heee as-maau'hum

51.their eyes would not have perceived, their ears would not have heard,

وَلَمْ تَلْحَقْـهُ أَوْهَامُهُمْ

wa lam tal-h'aq-hooo aw-haamuhum-

52.and their imaginations would not have grasped,

فَقُلْتَ: (اذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِيْ وَلا تَكْفُرُونِ)

faqul-ta: (ud'-kurooneee ad'-kur-kum- wa ash-kuroo lee wa laa tak-furoon)

53.for You hast said, "Remember Me and I will remember you be thankful to Me, and be you not thankless towards Me" (2:152)!

وَقُلْتَ: (لَئِنْ شَكَـرْتُمْ لازِيدَنَّكمْ

waqul-ta: (la-in shakar-tum laazeedan-nakum

54.You hast said, "If you are thankful, surely I will increase you,

وَلَئِنْ كَفَـرْتُمْ إنَّ عَذابِيْ لَشَدِيدٌ)

wala-in kafar-tum in-na a'd'aabee lashadeed)

55.but if you are thankless, My chastisement is surely terrible" (14:7);

وَقُلْتَ : (ادْعُونِيْ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ

wa qul-ta: (ud-u'wneee as-tajib lakum

56.And You hast said, "Supplicate Me and I will respond to you,

إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي

in-nal-lad'eena yas-tak-biroona a'n i'baadatee

57.surely those who wax too proud to worship Me

سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ)

sayad-khuloona jahan-nama daakhireen)

58.shall enter Gehenna utterly abject" (40:60).

فَسَمَّيْتَ دُعَاءَكَ عِبَادَةً، وَتَرْكَهُ اسْتِكْبَاراً،

fasam-may-ta dua'aa-aka i'baadah wa tar-kahoo as-tik-baaraa

59.Hence You hast named supplicating You 'worship' and refraining from it 'waxing proud',

وَتَوَعَّدْتَ عَلَى تَرْكِهِ دُخُولَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ،

wa tawaa'-a't-ta a'laa tar-kihee dukhoola jahan-nama daakhireen

60.and You hast threatened that the refraining from it would yield entrance into Gehenna in utter abjection.

فَذَكَرُوكَ بِمَنِّكَ وَشَكَرُوكَ بِفَضْلِكَ،

fad'akarooka biman-nik wa shakarooka bifaz'-lik

61.So they remember You for Your kindness, they thank You for Your bounty,

وَدَعَوْكَ بِأَمْرِكَ،

wa daa'w-ka bi m-rik

62.they supplicate You by Your command,

وَتَصَدَّقُوا لَكَ طَلَباً لِمَزِيدِكَ،

wa tas'ad-daqoo laka t'alabal-limazeedik

63.and they donate for You in order to seek Your increase;

وَفِيهَا كَانَتْ نَجَاتُهُمْ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ،

wa feehaa kaanat najaatuhum min ghaz'abik

64.in all this lies their deliverance from Your wrath

وَفَوْزُهُمْ بِرِضَاكَ،

wa faw-zuhum biriz'aak

65.and their triumph through Your good pleasure.

وَلَوْ دَلَّ مَخْلُوقٌ مَخْلُوقاً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ

wa law dal-la makh-looqum-makh-looqam-min-naf-sihee

66.Were any creature himself to direct another creature

عَلَى مِثْلِ الَّذِيْ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عِبَادَكَ مِنْكَ

a'laa mith-lil-lad'ee dalal-ta a'lay-hee i'baadaka minka

67.to the like of that to which You Yourself hast directed Your servants,

كَانَ مَوْصُوْفَاً بالإحْسَان

kaana maw-s'oofam-bil-ih'-saan

68.he would be described by beneficence,

وَمَنْعُوتاً بِالامْتِثَال ومحمُوداً بكلِّ لِسَان،

wa man-u'wtam-biiam-tinaan wa mah'-moodam-bikul-li lisaan

69.qualified by kindness, and praised by every tongue.

فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَا وُجِدَ فِي حَمْدِكَ مَذْهَبٌ،

falakal-h'am-du maa wujida fee h'am-dika mad'-hab

70.So to You belongs praise as long as there is found a way to praise You

وَمَا بَقِيَ لِلْحَمْدِ لَفْظٌ تُحْمَدُ بِهِ وَمَعْنىً يَنْصَرفُ إلَيْهِ

wa maa baqee lil-h'am-di laf-z'un tuh'-madu bihee wa maa'-nana yans'arifu ilay-h

71.and as long as there remains for praising words by which You may be praised and meanings which may be spent in praise!

يَـا مَنْ تَحَمَّدَ إلَى عِبَـادِهِ بِالإِحْسَـانِ وَالْفَضْل،

yaa man tah'am-mada ilaa i'baadihee bil-ih'-saani wal-faz'-li

72.O He who shows Himself praiseworthy to His servants through beneficence and bounty,

وَغَمَرَهُمْ بِالْمَنِّ وَالطَّوْلِ،

wa ghamarahum bil-man-ni wat'-t'aw-l

73.flooding them with kindness and graciousness!

maaa af-shaa feenaa nia'-mataka? wa as-bagha a'lay-naa min-nataka

74.How much Your favour has been spread about among us, Your kindness lavished upon us,

وَأَخَصَّنَا بِبِرِّكَ

75.and Your goodness singled out for us!

76.You hast guided us to Your religion which You hast chosen,

77.Your creed with which You art pleased,

وَسَبِيلِكَ الَّذِي سَهَّلْتَ،

wa sabeelikal-lad'ee sah-hal-t

78.and Your path which You hast made smooth,

wa bas'-s'ar-tanaaz-zul-fata laday-ka wal-wus'oola ilaa karaamatik

79.and You hast shown us proximity to You and arrival at Your generosity!
