بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِلٰهِي إِنْ كَانَ قَلَّ زَادِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيرِ إِلَيْكَ فَلَقَدْ حَسُنَ ظَنِّي بِٱلتَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ جُرْمِي قَدْ أَخَافَنِي مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ فَإِنَّ رَجَائِي قَدْ أَشْعَرَنِي بِٱلأَمْنِ مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَنْبِي قَدْ عَرَّضَنِي لِعِقَابِكَ فَقَدْ آذَنَنِي حُسْنُ ثِقَتِي بِثَوَابِكَ وَإِنْ أَنامَتْنِي ٱلْغَفْلَةُ عَنِ ٱلاِسْتِعْدَادِ لِلِقَائِكَ فَقَدْ نَبَّهَتْنِي ٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ بِكَرَمِكَ وَآلاَئِكَ وَإِنْ أَوْحَشَ مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ فَرْطُ ٱلْعِصْيَانِ وَٱلطُّغْيَانِ فَقَدْ آنَسَنِي بُشْرَىٰ ٱلْغُفْرَانِ وَٱلرِّضْوَانِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِسُبُحَاتِ وَجْهِكَ وَبِأَنْوارِ قُدْسِكَ وَأَبْتَهِلُ إِلَيْكَ بِعَوَاطِفِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَلَطَائِفِ بِرِّكَ أَنْ تُحَقِّقَ ظَنِّي بِمَا أُؤَمِّلُهُ مِنْ جَزِيلِ إِكْرَامِكَ وَجَمِيلِ إِنْعَامِكَ فِي ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ مِنْكَ وَٱلزُّلْفَىٰ لَدَيْكَ وَٱلتَّمَتُّعِ بِٱلنَّظَرِ إِلَيْكَ وَهَا أَنا مُتَعَرِّضٌ لِنَفَحَاتِ رَوْحِكَ وَعَطْفِكَ وَمُنْتَجِعٌ غَيْثَ جُودِكَ وَلُطْفِكَ فَارُّ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ إِلَىٰ رِضَاكَ هَارِبٌ مِنْكَ إِلَيْكَ رَاجٍ أَحْسَنَ مَا لَدَيْكَ مُعَوِّلٌ عَلَىٰ مَواهِبِكَ مُفْتَقِرٌ إِلَىٰ رِعَايَتِكَ إِلٰهِي مَا بَدَأْتَ بِهِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ فَتَمِّمْهُ وَمَا وَهَبْتَ لِي مِنْ كَرَمِكَ فَلاَ تَسْلُبْهُ وَمَا سَتَرْتَهُ عَلَيَّ بِحِلْمِكَ فَلاَ تَهْتِكْهُ وَمَا عَلِمْتَهُ مِنْ قَبِيحِ فِعْلِي فَٱغْفِرْهُ إِلٰهِي ٱسْتَشْفَعْتُ بِكَ إِلَيْكَ وَٱسْتَجَرْتُ بِكَ مِنْكَ أَتَيْتُكَ طَامِعاً فِي إِحْسَانِكَ راغِباً فِي ٱمْتِنانِكَ مُسْتَسْقِياً وَابِلَ طَوْلِكَ مُسْتَمْطِراً غَمَامَ فَضْلِكَ طَالِباً مَرْضَاتَكَ قَاصِداً جَنَابَكَ وَارِداً شَرِيعَةَ رِفْدِكَ مُلْتَمِساً سَنِيَّ الْخَيْراتِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، وافِداً إلىٰ حَضْرَةِ جَمالِكَ، مُرِيداً وَجْهَكَ، طارِقاً بابَكَ، مُسْتَكِيناً لِعَظَمَتِكَ وَجَلالِكَ، فَافْعَلْ بِي ما أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ مِنَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ، وَلا تَفْعَلْ بِي ما أَنَا أَهْلُهُ مِنَ الْعَذابِ وَالنّـِقْمَةِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful My God, though my stores for traveling to You are few, my confidence in You has given me a good opinion. Though my sin has made me fear Your punishment, my hope has let me feel secure from Your vengeance. Though my misdeed has exposed me to Your penalty, my excellent trust has apprised me of Your reward. Though heedlessness has put to sleep my readiness to meet You, knowledge has awakened me to Your generosity and boons. Though excessive disobedience and rebellion have estranged me from You, the glad tidings of forgiveness and good pleasure have made me feel intimate with You. I ask You by the splendors of Your face and the lights of Your holiness, and I implore You by the tenderness of Your mercy and the gentleness of Your goodness, to verify my opinion in expecting Your great generosity and Your beautiful favor, through nearness to You, proximity with You, and enjoyment of gazing upon You! Here am I, addressing myself to the breezes of Your freshness and tenderness, having recourse to the rain of Your generosity and gentleness, fleeing from Your displeasure to Your good pleasure and from You to You, hoping for the best of what is with You, relying upon Your gifts, utterly poor toward Your guarding! My God, Your bounty which You have begun; complete it! Your generosity which You have given me; strip it not away! Your cover over me through Your clemency; tear it not away! My ugly acts which You have come to know; forgive them! My God, I seek intercession from You with You, and I seek sanctuary in You from You! I have come to You craving Your beneficence, desiring Your kindness, seeking water from the deluge of Your graciousness, begging rain from the clouds of Your bounty, requesting Your good pleasure, going straight to Your side, arriving at the watering-place of Your support, seeking exalted good things from Your quarter, reaching for the presence of Your beauty, wanting Your face, knocking at Your door, abasing myself before Your mightiness and majesty! So act toward me with the forgiveness and mercy of which You are worthy! Act not toward me with the chastisement and vengeance of which I am worthy! By Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful!
