My Allah,

لَيْسَ لِىْ وَسِيْلَةٌ اِلَيْكَ اِلاَّ عَوَاطِفُ رَاْفَتِكَ

LAYSA LEE WASEELATUN ELAYKA ILLAA A’WAATEFO RAA-FATEKA

I have no mediation with Thee but the tender acts of Thy clemency,

وَلَا لِىْ ذَرِيْعَةٌ اِلَيْكَ اِلاَّ عَوَارِفُ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ شَفَاعَةُ نَبِيِّكَ نَبِىِّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مُنْقِذِ الْاُمَّةِ مِنَ الْغُمَّةِ

WA LAA LEE ZAREE-A’TUN ELAYKA ILLAA A’WAAREFO RAHMATEKA WA SHA-FAA-A’TO NABIYYEKA NABIYYIR RAHMATE WA MUNQEZIL UMMATE MENAL GHUMMATE

nor any way to come to Thee but the gentle favours of Thy mercy and the intercession of Thy Prophet, the prophet of mercy, who rescued the community from confusion.

فَاجْعَلْهُمَا لِىْ سَبَبًا اِلٰى نَيْلِ غُفْرَانِكَ

Make these two my tie to attaining Thy forgiveness

WA SAYYIRHOMAA LEE WUSLATAN ELAL FAWZE BE-RIZWAANEKA

and let them take me to triumph through Thy good pleasure!

وَ قَدْ حَلَّ رَجَآئِىْ بِحَرَمِ كَرَمِكَ

My hope has dismounted in the sacred precinct of Thy generosity,

my craving has alighted in the courtyard of Thy munificence.

So actualize my expectation from Thee,

وَاخْتِمْ بِالْخَيْرِ عَمَلِىْ

and place me among Thy selected friends, those whom Thou hast

اَحْلَلْتَهُمْ بُحْبُوْحَةَ جَنَّتِكَ

set down in the midst of Thy Garden,

وَ بَوَّاتَهُمْ دَارَ كَرَامَتِكَ

WA BAWWAA-TAHUM DAARA KARAAMATEKA

and settled in the abode of Thy honour,

وَ اَقْرَرْتَ اَعْيُنَهُمْ بِالنَّظَرِ اِلَيْكَ يَوْمَ لِقَآئِكَ

WA AQRARTA A-A’YONAHUM BIN-NAZARE ELAYKA YAWMA LE-QAAA-EKA

whose eyes Thou hast gladdened by gazing upon Thee on the day of meeting Thee,

وَ اَوْرَثْتَهُمْ مَنَازِلَ الصِّدْقِ فِىْ جَوَارِكَ

WA AW-RASTAHUM MANAAZELAS SIDQE FEE JAWAAREKA

and whom Thou hast made heirs to the sure stations in Thy neighbourhood!

WA BE-ZAYLE KARAMEKA A-A’LAQTO KAFEE

upon the skirt of Thy generosity have I fastened my grasp!

فَلَا تُوْلِنِىْ الْحِرْمَانَ

Show me no deprivation

وَلَا تُبْلِنِىْ بِالْخَيْبَةِ وَالْخُسْرَانِ

WA LAA TUBLENEE BIL-KHAYBATE WAL-KHUSRAANE

and afflict me not with disappointment and loss!

O Hearer of supplications!

يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ.
