Sahifa Sajjadiya 6: Supplication for Morning and Evening

وَمَيَّزَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِقُدْرَتِهِ،

wa-mayyaza baynahumā bi-qudratihi,

and distinguished between them by His might,

وَجَعَلَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا حَدّاً مَحْدُوداً، وَأَمَداً مَمْدُوداً،

wa-jaʿala li-kulli wāḥidin minhumā ḥaddan maḥdūdan, wa-amadan mamdūdan,

and made for each of them a fixed limit and an extended span,

يُولِجُ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي صَاحِبِهِ،

yūliju kulla wāḥidin minhumā fī ṣāḥibihi,

He makes one of them enter into the other,

وَيُولِجُ صَاحِبَهُ فِيهِ بِتَقْدِيرٍ مِنْهُ لِلْعِبَادِ،

wa-yūliju ṣāḥibahu fīhi bi-taqdīrin minhu li-l-ʿibād,

and makes the other enter into it, by His decree for the servants,

فِيمَا يَغْذُوهُمْ بِهِ وَيُنْشِئُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ،

fīmā yaghdhūhum bihi wa-yunshiʾuhum ʿalayhi,

in what He nourishes them with and raises them upon.

فَخَلَقَ لَهُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ مِنْ حَرَكَاتِ التَّعَبِ،

fa-khalaqa lahumu al-layla li-yaskunū fīhi min ḥarakāti l-taʿab,

So He created the night for them to rest in, from the movements of weariness,

وَنَهَضَاتِ النَّصَبِ، وَجَعَلَهُ لِبَاساً لِيَلْبَسُوا مِنْ رَاحَتِهِ وَمَنَامِهِ،

wa-nahaḍāti l-naṣab, wa-jaʿalahu libāsan li-yalbasū min rāḥatihi wa-manāmihi,

and from the risings of exhaustion; and He made it a covering, so they may wear its comfort and its sleep,

فَيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ جَمَاماً وَقُوَّةً، وَلِيَنَالُوا بِهِ لَذَّةً وَشَهْوَةً.

fa-yakūna dhālika jamāman wa-quwwatan, wa-li-yanālū bihi ladhdhatan wa-shahwatan.

so that it becomes for them rest and strength, and so they may gain through it pleasure and desire.

وَخَلَقَ لَهُمُ النَّهَارَ مُبْصِراً لِيَبْتَغُوا فِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ،

wa-khalaqa lahumu l-nahāra mubṣiran li-yabtaghū fīhi min faḍlihi,

And He created the day bright, so that they may seek in it from His bounty,

وَلِيَتَسَبَّبُوا إِلَى رِزْقِهِ، وَيَسْرَحُوا فِي أَرْضِهِ،

wa-li-yatasabbabū ilā rizqihi, wa-yasraḥū fī arḍihi,

and that they may strive for His sustenance and roam in His earth,

طَلَباً لِمَا فِيهِ نَيْلُ الْعَاجِلِ مِنْ دُنْيَاهُمْ،

ṭalaban li-mā fīhi naylu l-ʿājili min dunyāhum,

seeking thereby what can be attained quickly from their worldly life,

وَدَرَكُ الْآجِلِ فِي أُخْرَاهُمْ. بِكُلِّ ذَلِكَ يُصْلِحُ شَأْنَهُمْ،

wa-daraku l-ājili fī ukhrāhum. bi-kulli dhālika yuṣliḥu shaʾnahum,

and the attainment of the Hereafter in their next life. Through all this, He sets their affairs aright,

وَيَبْلُو أَخْبَارَهُمْ وَيَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ هُمْ فِي أَوْقَاتِ طَاعَتِهِ،

wa-yablū akhbārahum wa-yanẓuru kayfa hum fī awqāti ṭāʿatihi,

and tests their deeds, and observes how they are in the times of His obedience,

وَمَنَازِلِ فُرُوضِهِ وَمَوَاقِعِ أَحْكَامِهِ،

wa-manāzili furūḍihi wa-mawāqiʿi aḥkāmihi,

and the stations of His obligations, and the places of His rulings,

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى.

li-yajziya alladhīna asāʾū bi-mā ʿamilū wa-yajziya alladhīna aḥsanū bi-l-ḥusnā,

so that He may recompense those who did evil with what they did, and reward those who did good with the best reward.

اَللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا فَلَقْتَ لَنَا مِنَ الْإِصْبَاحِ،

allāhumma fa-laka l-ḥamdu ʿalā mā falaqta lanā mina l-iṣbāḥ,

O Allah! To You belongs all praise for what You split for us of the morning light,

وَمَتَّعْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ ضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ،

wa-mattaʿtanā bihi min ḍawʾi l-nahār,

and for giving us enjoyment in it of the brightness of the day,

وَبَصَّرْتَنَا مِنْ مَطَالِبِ الْأَقْوَاتِ،

wa-baṣṣartanā min maṭālibi l-aqwāt,

and for showing us the paths of seeking our sustenance,

وَوَقَيْتَنَا فِيهِ مِنْ طَوَارِقِ الْآفَاتِ.

wa-waqaytanā fīhi min ṭawāriqi l-āfāt,

and for protecting us in it from sudden calamities.

أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَتِ الْأَشْيَاءُ كُلُّهَا بِجُمْلَتِهَا لَكَ:

aṣbaḥnā wa-aṣbaḥati l-ashyāʾu kulluhā bi-jumlatihā laka,

We have entered the morning, and all things altogether belong to You:

سَمَاؤُهَا وَأَرْضُهَا وَمَا بَثَثْتَ فِي كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا،

samāʾuhā wa-arḍuhā wa-mā baththta fī kulli wāḥidin minhumā,

its heavens and its earth, and whatever You have spread in each of them,

سَاكِنُهُ وَمُتَحَرِّكُهُ وَمُقِيمُهُ وَشَاخِصُهُ،

sākinuhu wa-mutaḥarrikuhu wa-muqīmuhu wa-shākhiṣu,

its still and its moving, its settled and its departing,

وَمَا عَلَا فِي الْهَوَاءِ وَمَا كَنَّ تَحْتَ الثَّرَى،

wa-mā ʿalā fī l-hawāʾ wa-mā kanna taḥta l-tharā,

whatever rises in the air, and whatever lies hidden beneath the soil.

أَصْبَحْنَا فِي قَبْضَتِكَ، يَحْوِينَا مُلْكُكَ وَسُلْطَانُكَ،

aṣbaḥnā fī qabḍatika, yaḥwīnā mulkuka wa-sulṭānuka,

We have entered the morning within Your grasp, encompassed by Your dominion and authority,

وَتَضُمُّنَا مَشِيَّتُكَ، وَنَتَصَرَّفُ عَنْ أَمْرِكَ، وَنَتَقَلَّبُ فِي تَدْبِيرِكَ،

wa-taḍummunā mashīyyatuka, wa-nataṣarrfu ʿan amrika, wa-nataqallabu fī tadbīrika,

and encompassed by Your will; we move only by Your command, and we change only by Your management,

لَيْسَ لَنَا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ إِلَّا مَا قَضَيْتَ، وَلَا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ إِلَّا مَا أَعْطَيْتَ.

laysa lanā mina l-amri illā mā qaḍayta, wa-lā mina l-khayri illā mā aʿṭayta,

we have no affair except what You have decreed, and no good except what You have granted.

وَهَذَا يَوْمٌ حَادِثٌ جَدِيدٌ، وَهُوَ عَلَيْنَا شَاهِدٌ عَتِيدٌ،

wa-hādhā yawmun ḥādithun jadīdun, wa-huwa ʿalaynā shāhidun ʿatīdun,

And this is a new day, and it is a present witness over us,

إِنْ أَحْسَنَّا وَدَّعَنَا بِحَمْدٍ، وَإِنْ أَسَأْنَا فَارَقَنَا بِذَمٍّ.

in aḥsannā wadaʿanā bi-ḥamdin, wa-in asāʾnā fāraqanā bi-dhamm,

if we do good, it leaves us with praise; and if we do evil, it leaves us with blame.

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ،

allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammadin wa-Ālihi,

Min sū’i mufāraqatihī bi irtikābi jarīrah,

From the harm of parting from him by committing a sin,

أَوِ اقْتِرَافِ صَغِيرَةٍ أَوْ كَبِيرَةٍ.

Aw iqtirāfi ṣaghīrah aw kabīrah,

Wa ajzil lanā fīhi mina al-ḥasanāti wa akhlinā fīhi mina as-sayyi’āt,

And generously grant us in it good deeds and spare us from evils.

Praise be to Allah who created the night and the day by His power,

وَمَيَّزَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِقُدْرَتِهِ،

Wa mayyaza baynahumā bi qudratihi,

And distinguished between them by His ability,

وَجَعَلَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا حَدًّا مَحْدُودًا، وَأَمَدًا مَمْدُودًا،

Wa jaʿala likulli wāḥidin minhumā ḥaddan maḥdūdan wa amadan mamdūdan,

Fa khalaqa lahumu al-layla liyas kunū fīhi min ḥarakāti at-taʿab,

So He created the night for them to rest in it from labor,

وَنَهَضَاتِ النَّصَبِ، وَجَعَلَهُ لِبَاسًا لِيَلْبَسُوا مِنْ رَاحَتِهِ وَمَنَامِهِ،

Wa nahadhāti an-naṣab, wa jaʿalahu libāsan li yalbasū min rāḥatihi wa manāmihi,

And from the exertion they rise from, and made it a garment to wear for comfort and sleep,

فَيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ جَمَامًا وَقُوَّةً، وَلِيَنَالُوا بِهِ لَذَّةً وَشَهْوَةً.

Wa li yatasabbabū ilā rizqihi, wa yasrahū fī arḍihi,

And so they may endeavor to earn their provision, and wander on His earth,

With all that He sets their affairs right,

وَيَبْلُو أَخْبَارَهُمْ وَيَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ هُمْ فِي أَوْقَاتِ طَاعَتِهِ،

Wa yablū akhbārahum wa yanẓur kayfa hum fī awqāti ṭāʿatihi,

And tests their stories and watches how they fare in times of obedience to Him,

وَمَنَازِلِ فُرُوضِهِ وَمَوَاقِعِ أَحْكَامِهِ،

Wa manāzili furūḍihi wa mawāqiʿi aḥkāmihi,

And the stations of His duties and places of His judgments,

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى.

This is a new and fresh day, a witness over us guaranteed,

إِنْ أَحْسَنَّا وَدَّعَنَا بِحَمْدٍ، وَإِنْ أَسَأْنَا فَارَقَنَا بِذَمٍّ،

In aḥsannā waddanā bi ḥamd, wa in asnā fāraqnā bidhamm,

If we do well, it bids us farewell with praise; if we do evil, it parts from us with blame.

Wa waffiqnā fī yawmnā hādhā wa laylatinā hādhihi wa fī jamīʿi ayyāminā,

And grant us success on this day of ours, this night, and all our days,

لاِسْتِعْمَالِ الْخَيْرِ وَهِجْرَانِ الشَّرِّ وَشُكْرِ النِّعَمِ،

وَأَشْكَرَهُمْ لِمَا أَوْلَيْتَ مِنْ نِعَمِكَ،

Wa ashkarahum limā awlayta min niʿamik,

And the most grateful for what You have given in blessings,

وَأَقْوَمَهُمْ بِمَا شَرَعْتَ مِنْ شَرَائِعِكَ،

Wa aqwamahum bimā sharaʿta min sharāʾiʿik,

And the most upright in following Your laws,

Annī ash-hadu annaka anta allāhu alladhī

That I bear witness that You are Allah who

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ قَائِمٌ بِالْقِسْطِ،

Lā ilāha illā anta qā’imun bil-qisṭ,

There is no deity but You, established in justice,

عَدْلٌ فِي الْحُكْمِ، رَؤُوفٌ بِالْعِبَادِ،

ʿAdlun fī al-ḥukmi, raʾūfun bil-ʿibād,

Just in judgment, compassionate to the servants,

مَالِكُ الْمُلْكِ رَحِيمٌ بِالْخَلْقِ،

Māliku al-mulki raḥīmun bil-khalq,

Master of the kingdom, merciful to creation,

وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ وَخِيَّرَتُكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ،

Wa anna Muḥammadan ʿabduka wa rasūluka wa khīyaratuka min khalqik,

And that Muḥammad is Your servant and messenger and Your chosen among Your creation,

حَمَّلْتَهُ رِسَالَتَكَ فَأَدَّاهَا وَأَمَرْتَهُ بِالنُّصْحِ لِأُمَّتِهِ فَنَصَحَ لَهَا.

Hammaltahu risālataka fa addāhā wa amartahu bin-nuṣḥ li ummatihi fa naṣaḥa lahā,

You entrusted him with Your message, and he delivered it and commanded earnest advice for his nation, so he advised them well.

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ أَكْثَرَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ،

Allāhumma faṣalli ʿalā Muḥammadin wa ālihi akthara mā ṣallayta ʿalā aḥadin min khalqik,

O Allah, send blessings upon Muḥammad and his family more than You have sent blessings on anyone of Your creation,

وَآتِهِ عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ مَا آتَيْتَ أَحَدًا مِنْ عِبَادِكَ،

Wa ātih ʿannā afḍala mā ātayta aḥadan min ʿibādik,

And grant him on our behalf the best of what You have given any of Your servants,

وَاجْزِهِ عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ وَأَكْرَمَ مَا جَزَيْتَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَنْبِيَائِكَ عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ.

Wa ajzih ʿannā afḍala wa akrama mā jazayta aḥadan min anbiyā’ika ʿan ummatih,

And reward him on our behalf the best and most generous of what You rewarded any of Your prophets for his nation.

إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بِالْجَسِيمِ الْغَافِرِ لِلْعَظِيمِ،

Inna ka anta al-mannān bi al-jasīm al-ghāfir lil-ʿaẓīm,

Indeed, You are the Benefactor, the Great, the Forgiver of the Great sins,

وَأَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ رَحِيمٍ،

Wa anta arḥamu min kulli raḥīm,

And You are more Merciful than all who show mercy,

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ

Fa ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammadin wa ālihi

So send blessings on Muḥammad and his family,

الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ الْأَنْجَبِينَ.

Aṭ-ṭayyibīn aṭ-ṭāhirīn al-akhyār al-anjabīn.

The pure, the clean, the good, the most noble.

أَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهارَ بِقُوَّتِهِ،

al-h'am-du lil-laahil-lad'ee khalaqal-lay-la wan-nahaara biqoo-watih

1.Praise belongs to God, who created night and day through His strength,

وَمَيَّزَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِقُدْرَتِهِ،

wa-mayyaza baynahumā bi-qudratihī,

And He distinguished between them by His power,

وَجَعَلَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِد مِنْهُمَا حَدّاً مَحْدُوداً، وَأَمَداً مَمْدُوداً،

wa-ja‘ala likulli wāḥidin minhumā ḥaddan maḥdūdan, wa-amadan mamdūdan,

And He set for each of them a defined boundary and an extended term,

يُولِجُ كُلَّ وَاحِد مِنْهُمَا فِي صَاحِبِهِ،

yūliju kulla wāḥidin minhumā fī ṣāḥibihī,

He causes each of them to enter into the other,

وَيُولِجُ صَاحِبَهُ فِيهِ بِتَقْدِير مِنْهُ لِلْعِبَادِ

wa-yūliju ṣāḥibahu fīhi bi-taqdīrin minhu lil-‘ibād,

And He causes one to enter into the other by His decree for His servants,

فِيمَا يَغْـذُوهُمْ بِـهِ وَيُنْشئُهُمْ عَلَيْـهِ،

fīmā yaghdhūhum bihi wa-yunshi’uhum ‘alayhi,

In what He nourishes them with and raises them upon,

فَخَلَقَ لَهُمُ اللَّيْـلَ لِيَسْكُنُوا فِيْهِ مِنْ حَرَكَاتِ التَّعَبِ،

fa-khalaqa lahumu al-layla liyaskunū fīhi min ḥarakāti al-ta‘abi,

So He created the night for them to rest from the movements of fatigue,

وَنَهَضَاتِ النَّصَبِ، وَجَعَلَهُ لِبَاساً لِيَلْبَسُوا مِنْ رَاحَتِهِ وَمَنَامِهِ،

wa-nahaḍāti al-naṣabi, wa-ja‘alahu libāsan liyalbasū min rāḥatihi wa-manāmih,

And from the exertions of toil, and made it a covering so they may wear its comfort and sleep,

فَيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ جَمَاماً وَقُوَّةً، وَلِيَنَالُوا بِهِ لَذَّةً وَشَهْوَةً.

fa-yakūna dhālika jamāman wa-quwwatan, wa-liyanālū bihi ladhdhatan wa-shahwatan,

So it becomes for them a renewal and strength, and that they may attain through it pleasure and desire,

وَخَلَقَ لَهُمُ النَّهارَ مُبْصِراً لِيَبْتَغُوا فِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ،

wa-khalaqa lahumu al-nahāra mubṣiran liyabta ghū fīhi min faḍlih,

And He created the day bright so they may seek His bounty in it,

وَلِيَتَسَبَّبُوا إلَى رِزْقِهِ، وَيَسْرَحُوا فِي أَرْضِهِ،

wa-li-yatasabbabū ilā rizqihī, wa-yasraḥū fī arḍihī,

And so they may seek His provision and move freely in His land,

طَلَباً لِمَا فِيـهِ نَيْلُ الْعَاجِلِ مِنْ دُنْيَاهُمْ،

ṭalaban limā fīhi naylu al-‘ājili min dunyāhum,

Seeking what grants them immediate gain in their worldly life,

وَدَرَكُ الاجِلِ فِيْ اُخْراهُمْ. بِكُلِّ ذلِكَ يُصْلِحُ شَأنَهُمْ،

wa-daraku al-ājili fī ukhrāhum. Bi-kulli dhālika yuṣliḥu sha’nahum,

And the attainment of the Hereafter in their afterlife. Through all this, He sets their affairs right,

وَيَبْلُو أَخْبَارَهُمْ وَيَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ هُمْ فِي أَوْقَاتِ طَاعَتِـهِ،

wa-yabluw akhbārahum wa-yanẓuru kayfa hum fī awqāti ṭā‘atih,

And He tests their deeds and observes how they are in the times of His obedience,

وَمَنَازِلِ فُـرُوضِهِ وَمَوَاقِعِ أَحْكَامِهِ،

wa-manāzili furūḍihī wa-mawāqi‘i aḥkāmih,

And in the stations of His obligations and the instances of His judgments,

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أسَاءُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى.

li-yajziya alladhīna asā’ū bimā ‘amilū wa-yajziya alladhīna aḥsanū bil-ḥusnā,

So that He may reward those who did evil with what they deserve, and those who did good with the best reward,

اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا فَلَقْتَ لَنَا مِنَ الإصْبَاحِ،

Allāhumma fa-laka al-ḥamdu ‘alā mā falaqta lanā mina al-iṣbāḥ,

O Allah, to You belongs praise for the dawn You have brought forth for us,

وَمَتَّعْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ ضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ،

wa-matta‘tanā bihi min ḍaw’i al-nahār,

And for allowing us to enjoy the light of day,

وَبَصَّرْتَنَا مِنْ مَطَالِبِ الأَقْوَاتِ،

wa-baṣṣartanā min maṭālibi al-aqwāt,

And for making us aware of the means of sustenance,

وَوَقَيْتَنَا فِيهِ مِنْ طَوَارِقِ الآفَاتِ.

wa-waqaytanā fīhi min ṭawāriqi al-āfāt,

And for protecting us in it from sudden calamities,

أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَتِ الأَشْيَاءُ كُلُّهَا بِجُمْلَتِهَا لَكَ:

aṣbaḥnā wa-aṣbaḥati al-ashyā’u kulluhā bi-jumlatihā lak,

We have entered the morning, and all things entirely belong to You,

سَمَاؤُها وَأَرْضُهَا وَمَا بَثَثْتَ فِي كُلِّ وَاحِد مِنْهُمَا سَاكِنُهُ وَمُتَحَرِّكُهُ،

samā’uhā wa-arḍuhā wa-mā bathatha fī kulli wāḥidin minhumā sākinuhu wa-mutaḥarrikuhu,

Its sky and its earth, and everything You have spread in them, whether stationary or in motion,

وَمُقِيمُهُ وَشَاخِصُهُ وَمَا عَلا فِي الْهَوَاءِ وَمَا كَنَّ تَحْتَ الثَّرَى.

wa-muqīmuhu wa-shākhiṣu wa-mā ‘alā fī al-hawā’ wa-mā kanna taḥta al-tharā,

Its dwellers and those moving about, and what rises in the air and what is concealed beneath the soil,

أَصْبَحْنَا فِي قَبْضَتِكَ،

aṣbaḥnā fī qabḍatik,

We have entered the morning in Your grasp,

يَحْوِينَا مُلْكُكَ وَسُلْطَانُكَ وَتَضُمُّنَا مَشِيَّتُكَ،

yaḥwīnā mulkuka wa-sulṭānuka wa-taḍummunā mashī’atuk,

Your dominion and authority encompass us, and Your will governs us,

وَنَتَصَرَّفُ عَنْ أَمْرِكَ، وَنَتَقَلَّبُ فِيْ تَدْبِيرِكَ،

wa-nataṣarrafu ‘an amrik, wa-nataqallabu fī tadbīrik,

We act only by Your command, and we move through Your management,

لَيْسَ لَنَا مِنَ الأَمْرِ إِلاّ مَا قَضَيْتَ،

laysa lanā mina al-amri illā mā qaḍayt,

We have no control over matters except what You have decreed,

وَلا مِنَ الْخَيْـرِ إِلا مَـا أَعْطَيْتَ.

wa-lā mina al-khayri illā mā a‘ṭayt,

And no good except what You have given,

فَلِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ نَحْمَدُهُ،

fa-lillāhi ‘azza wa-jalla naḥmaduhu,

So to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, we offer praise,

وَعَلَى جَمِيْعِ الأُمُورِ نَشْكُرُهُ،

wa-‘alā jamī‘i al-umūri nashkuruhu,

And for all matters, we express our gratitude to Him,

نَسْتَحْفِظُهُ حِفْظَ مَنْ شَغَلَهُ طَاعَتُهُ،

nastaḥfiẓuhu ḥifẓa man shaghalaḥu ṭā‘atuh,

We seek His protection, as one who is preoccupied with His obedience,

وَنَسْتَرْشِدُهُ إِرْشَادَ مَنْ لَا يَقْتَصِرُ نَظَرُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ.

wa-nastarshiduhu irshāda man lā yaqtaṣiru naẓaruhu ‘alā nafsih,

And we seek His guidance, as one whose vision is not confined to himself alone.

اللَّهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ، وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ،

Allāhumma iyyāka na‘budu, wa-iyyāka nasta‘īn,

O Allah, You alone we worship, and You alone we seek for help,

وَإِيَّاكَ نَرْغَبُ، وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى،

wa-iyyāka narghabu, wa-ilayka nas‘ā,

In You alone we desire, and to You alone we hasten,

وَإِيَّاكَ نَحْفِدُ، وَإِيَّاكَ نَخْشَى،

wa-iyyāka naḥfidu, wa-iyyāka nakhshā,

You alone we serve diligently, and You alone we fear,

رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَخَوْفَ عِقَابِكَ،

rajā’a raḥmatik, wa-khawfa ‘iqābik,

Hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment,

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ نَفْسِي مُطْمَئِنَّةً بِقَدَرِكَ،

Allāhumma aj‘al nafsī muṭma’innah bi-qadarik,

O Allah, make my soul content with Your decree,

رَاضِيَةً بِقَضَائِكَ،

rāḍiyah bi-qaḍā’ik,

Pleased with Your judgment,

مُولَعَةً بِذِكْرِكَ وَدُعَائِكَ،

mūla‘ah bi-dhikrika wa-du‘ā’ik,

Passionately devoted to Your remembrance and supplication,

مُحِبَّةً لِصَفْوَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ،

muḥibbatan li-ṣafwatu awliyā’ik,

Loving the chosen ones among Your friends,

اللَّهُمَّ وَمَا أَصْبَحْتُ فِيهِ مِمَّا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ،

Allāhumma wa-mā aṣbaḥtu fīhi mimmā an‘amta bihi ‘alayya,

O Allah, whatever I have entered this morning with, from among Your blessings upon me,

فِي دِيْنٍ أَوْ دُنْيَا، فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ،

fī dīn aw dunyā, fa-minka waḥdaka lā sharīka lak,

Whether in religion or worldly life, it is from You alone, with no partner beside You,

فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ بِذَلِكَ،

fa-laka al-ḥamdu bi-dhālik,

So to You belongs all praise for that,

وَعَلَيَّ التَّمَامُ وَبِكَ الَّذِي زِدْتَنَا مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ،

wa-‘alayya al-tamāmu wa-bika al-ladhī zidtanā min faḍlik wa-raḥmatik,

And upon me is the completion of it, and it is through You that You increase us in Your bounty and mercy,

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ أَشْهَدُكَ، وَأُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ،

Allāhumma innī aṣbaḥtu ashhaduk, wa-ushhidu malā’ikatak,

O Allah, I have entered this morning bearing witness to You, and I call upon Your angels to witness,

وَحَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ، وَجَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ،

wa-ḥamalata ‘arshik, wa-jamī‘a khalqik,

As well as the bearers of Your Throne and all of Your creation,

أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللهُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ،

annaka anta Allāh, lā ilāha illā anta,

That You are Allah, there is no deity but You,

وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ،

waḥdaka lā sharīka lak,

You alone, without partner,

وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُوْلُكَ،

wa-anna Muḥammadan ‘abduka wa-rasūluk,

And that Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger,

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُجَدِّدُ لَكَ فِي صَبَاحِ يَوْمِي هَذَا،

Allāhumma innī ujadidu laka fī ṣabāḥi yawmī hādhā,

O Allah, I renew for You on this morning of mine,

وَمَا عِشْتُ مِنْ أَيَّامِي، إِقْرَارِي بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ،

wa-mā ‘ishtu min ayyāmī, iqrārī bi-waḥdāniyyatik,

And for as long as I live, my acknowledgment of Your Oneness,

وَإِخْلَاصِي لَكَ بِدِيْنِي،

wa-ikhlāṣī laka bi-dīnī,

And my sincerity in religion for You,

اللَّهُمَّ فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي،

Allāhumma fa-taqabbal minnī,

O Allah, then accept it from me,

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِذْنِي مِنَ الشَّكِّ وَالشِّرْكِ،

Allāhumma a‘idhnī mina al-shakki wa-al-shirki,

O Allah, protect me from doubt and associating others with You,

وَأَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِكَ شَيْئًا وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ،

wa-an ashrika bika shay’an wa-anā a‘lam,

And from knowingly associating anything with You,

وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُ.

wa-astaghfiruka limā lā a‘lam,

And I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ أُرِيدُكَ وَأُرِيدُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ،

Allāhumma innī aṣbaḥtu urīduka wa-urīdu al-dāra al-ākhirah,

O Allah, I have entered this morning desiring You and the Hereafter,

فَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَكُوْنَ فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا أَوْ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ أُرِيْدُ فِيهِمَا شَيْئًا يُخَالِفُ ذَلِكَ.

fa-a‘idhnī min an akūna fī yawmī hādhā aw laylatī hādhih urīdu fīhimā shay’an yukhālifu dhālik,

So protect me from wanting anything in this day or this night that contradicts that desire.

اللَّهُمَّ مَا سَقَيْتَنَا مِنْ مَطَرٍ، فَاجْعَلْهُ بَلَاغًا وَصَحِيحًا وَنَافِعًا وَمُبَارَكًا،

Allāhumma mā saqaytanā min maṭarin, fa-j‘alhu balāghan wa-ṣaḥīḥan wa-nāfi‘an wa-mubārakan,

O Allah, whatever rain You send upon us, make it sufficient, pure, beneficial, and blessed,

وَاجْعَلْهُ سَيْبًا رَحْمَةً، وَلَا تَجْعَلْهُ سَيْبًا عَذَابًا وَلَا هَدْمًا وَلَا غَرَقًا.

wa-j‘alhu sayban raḥmatan, wa-lā taj‘alhu sayban ‘adhāban wa-lā hadman wa-lā gharqan,

And make it a shower of mercy, and do not make it a shower of punishment, destruction, or drowning.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ لَكَ عَبْدًا، وَعَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ،

Allāhumma innī aṣbaḥtu laka ‘abdan, wa-‘alā ‘ahdika wa-wa‘dika,

O Allah, I have entered this morning as Your servant, upon Your covenant and promise,

فَأَحْيِنِي عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ، وَأَمِتْنِي عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ.

fa-aḥyinī ‘alā al-īmān, wa-amitnī ‘alā al-islām,

So grant me life upon faith and grant me death upon Islam.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ،

Allāhumma aj‘alnī min ahli al-jannah, wa-a‘idhnī min ahli al-nār,

O Allah, make me among the people of Paradise, and protect me from being among the people of Hellfire,

وَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ،

wa-a‘idhnī min sharri kulli dhī sharr,

And protect me from the evil of every evil being,

وَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقْتَ وَذَرَأْتَ وَبَرَأْتَ.

wa-a‘idhnī min sharri mā khalaqta wa-dhara’ta wa-bara’ta,

And protect me from the evil of what You have created, spread, and fashioned.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رِضَاكَ وَالْجَنَّةَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَالنَّارِ.

Allāhumma innī as’aluka riḍāka wa-al-jannah, wa-a‘ūdhu bika min sakhaṭika wa-al-nār,

O Allah, I ask You for Your pleasure and Paradise, and I seek refuge in You from Your wrath and Hellfire.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَأَلَكَ مِنْهُ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ،

Allāhumma innī as’aluka min khayri mā sa’alaka minhu ‘ibāduka al-ṣāliḥūn,

O Allah, I ask You for the best of what Your righteous servants have asked You for,

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْهُ عِبَادُكَ الْمُخْلَصُونَ.

wa-a‘ūdhu bika min sharri mā ista‘ādha minhu ‘ibāduka al-mukhlaṣūn,

And I seek refuge in You from the evil from which Your sincere servants have sought refuge.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ،

Allāhumma innī as’aluka al-‘āfiyata fī al-dunyā wa-al-ākhirah,

O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter,

وَأَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْمُعَافَاةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي.

wa-as’aluka al-‘afwa wa-al-mu‘āfāta fī dīnī wa-dunyāya wa-ahlī wa-mālī,

And I ask You for pardon and protection in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family, and my wealth.

اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِي وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي،

Allāhumma astur ‘awrātī wa-āmin raw‘ātī,

O Allah, conceal my faults and calm my fears,

وَاحْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي،

wa-aḥfaẓnī min bayni yadayya wa-min khalfī, wa-‘an yamīnī wa-‘an shimālī,

And protect me from what is before me and behind me, from my right and my left,

وَمِنْ فَوْقِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي.

wa-min fawqī, wa-a‘ūdhu bi-‘aẓamatika an ughtāla min taḥtī,

And from above me, and I seek refuge in Your majesty from being taken from beneath me.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ تَهْدِي بِهَا قَلْبِي،

Allāhumma innī as’aluka raḥmatan min ‘indika tahdī bihā qalbī,

O Allah, I ask You for a mercy from You that will guide my heart,

وَتَجْمَعُ بِهَا أَمْرِي، وَتَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعَثِي،

wa-tajma‘u bihā amrī, wa-tulummu bihā sha‘athī,

And through it, unite my affairs and mend what is scattered within me,

وَتَرُدُّ بِهَا غَائِبِي، وَتَرْفَعُ بِهَا شَاهِدِي،

wa-taruddu bihā ghā’ibī, wa-tarfa‘u bihā shāhidī,

And return through it what is absent from me, and elevate what is present within me,

وَتُزَكِّي بِهَا عَمَلِي، وَتُلْهِمُنِي بِهَا رُشْدِي،

wa-tuzakkī bihā ‘amalī, wa-tulhimunī bihā rushdī,

And purify through it my deeds, and inspire me with righteousness,

وَتَرُدُّ بِهَا أُلْفَتِي، وَتَعْصِمُنِي بِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ.

wa-taruddu bihā ulfatī, wa-ta‘ṣimunī bihā min kulli sū’,

And restore through it my unity, and protect me through it from all harm.

اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنَا إِيمَانًا وَيَقِينًا لَيْسَ بَعْدَهُ كُفْرٌ،

Allāhumma a‘ṭinā īmānan wa-yaqīnan laysa ba‘dahu kufr,

O Allah, grant us faith and certainty after which there is no disbelief,

وَرَحْمَةً نَنَالُ بِهَا شَرَفَ كَرَامَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ.

wa-raḥmatan nanālu bihā sharafa karāmatika fī al-dunyā wa-al-ākhirah,

And mercy through which we attain the honor of Your grace in this world and the Hereafter.

Allāhumma innī as’aluka al-ṣabra ‘inda al-balā’,

O Allah, I ask You for patience in times of trial,

وَالْفَوْزَ عِنْدَ اللِّقَاءِ، وَمَنَازِلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ،

wa-al-fawza ‘inda al-liqā’, wa-manāzila al-shuhadā’,

And success at the time of meeting (You), and the ranks of the martyrs,

وَعَيْشَ السُّعَدَاءِ، وَالنَّصْرَ عَلَى الأَعْدَاءِ.

wa-‘aysha al-su‘adā’, wa-al-naṣra ‘ala al-a‘dā’,

And the life of the blessed, and victory over enemies.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْزِلُ بِكَ حَاجَتِي، وَإِنْ قَصُرَ رَأْيِي وَضَعُفَ عَمَلِي،

Allāhumma innī anzilu bika ḥājātī, wa-in qaṣura ra’yī wa-ḍa‘ufa ‘amalī,

O Allah, I bring my needs to You, though my judgment falls short and my deeds are weak,

افْتَقَرْتُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا قَاضِيَ الأُمُورِ،

iftaqartu ilā raḥmatika, fa-as’aluka yā qāḍiya al-umūr,

I am in need of Your mercy, so I ask You, O Disposer of affairs,

وَيَا شَافِيَ صُدُورِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ، أَنْ تُجِيرَنِي مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ،

wa-yā shāfiya ṣudūri al-makrūbīn, an tujīranī min ‘adhābi al-sa‘īr,

And O Healer of the hearts of the distressed, that You save me from the torment of Hellfire,

وَأَنْ تُجِيرَنِي مِنْ دَعْوَةِ الثَّبُورِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الْقُبُورِ.

wa-an tujīranī min da‘wati al-thabūr, wa-fitnati al-qubūr,

And that You protect me from the cry of despair and the trial of the grave.

اللَّهُمَّ فَاقْضِ لَنَا فِي الْخَيْرِ، وَاجْعَلْ لَنَا مَوْطِناً فِي الصِّدْقِ،

Allāhumma faqḍi lanā fī al-khayr, wa-aj‘al lanā mawṭinan fī al-ṣidq,

O Allah, decree goodness for us and grant us a place in truth,

وَأَنْزِلْنَا فِي دَارِ الْمُقَامَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ،

wa-anzilnā fī dāri al-muqāmah wa-al-raḥmah,

And settle us in the abode of permanence and mercy,

وَارْزُقْنَا الْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّةِ، وَالنَّجَاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ.

wa-arzuqnā al-fawza bi-al-jannah, wa-al-najāta mina al-nār,

And grant us success in attaining Paradise and salvation from the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ أَحْسِنْ عَاقِبَتَنَا فِي الأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا،

Allāhumma aḥsin ‘āqibatana fī al-umūri kullihā,

O Allah, grant us a good outcome in all our affairs,

وَأَجِرْنَا مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الآخِرَةِ.

wa-ajirnā min khizy al-dunyā wa-‘adhābi al-ākhirah,

And save us from the disgrace of this world and the punishment of the Hereafter.

Allāhumma aqsim lanā min khashyatika mā yaḥūlu baynanā wa-bayna ma‘āṣīk,

O Allah, grant us a share of Your reverence that keeps us away from disobeying You,

وَمِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ جَنَّتَكَ،

wa-min ṭā‘atika mā tuballighunā bihi jannatak,

And from Your obedience what will lead us to Your Paradise,

وَمِنَ الْيَقِينِ مَا تُهَوِّنُ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا مُصِيبَاتِ الدُّنْيَا.

wa-min al-yaqīn mā tuhawwinu bihi ‘alaynā muṣībāti al-dunyā,

And from certainty what makes the trials of this world easy for us.

Allāhumma matti‘nā bi-asmā‘inā, wa-abṣārinā, wa-quwwātinā mā aḥyaytanā,

O Allah, bless us with the use of our hearing, sight, and strength as long as we live,

وَاجْعَلْهُ الْوَارِثَ مِنَّا،

wa-aj‘alhu al-wāritha minnā,

And make them last until our end,

وَاجْعَلْ ثَأْرَنَا عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا،

wa-aj‘al tha’rana ‘ala man ẓalamanā,

And let our vengeance be against those who wrong us,

And grant us victory over those who oppose us.

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا،

Allāhumma lā taj‘al muṣībatana fī dīnina,

O Allah, do not make our affliction in our religion,

وَلَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا، وَلاَ مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا،

wa-lā taj‘ali al-dunyā akbara hammīnā, wa-lā mablagha ‘ilminā,

And do not make this world our greatest concern or the extent of our knowledge,

وَلَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُنَا.

wa-lā tusalliṭ ‘alaynā man lā yarḥamunā,

And do not place over us those who do not have mercy on us.

Allāhumma lā tada‘ lanā fī hādhā al-yawmi dhanban illā ghafartahu,

O Allah, do not leave for us any sin on this day except that You forgive it,

وَلَا هَمًّا إِلَّا فَرَّجْتَهُ،

Nor any need of this world or the Hereafter,

إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهَا وَيَسَّرْتَهَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

illā qaḍaytahā wa-yassartahā bi-raḥmatika yā arḥama al-rāḥimīn,

Except that You fulfill it and make it easy by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،

Allāhumma ṣalli ‘ala Muḥammadin wa-āli Muḥammad kamā ṣallayta ‘ala Ibrāhīma wa-āli Ibrāhīm,

O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim,

إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.

innaka ḥamīdun majīd,

Indeed, You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious.
