Text and Translation

Dua to be recited after Namaz-e-Isha

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّهٗ لَیْسَ لِیْ عِلْمٌ بِمَوْضِعِ رِزْقِی

ALLAAHUMMA INNAHU LAYSA LEE I’LMUN BE MAWZE-E’ RIZQEE

O Allah! Verily, I lack acquaintance with the place of my sustenance;

وَ اِنَّمَا اَطْلُبُهٗ بِخَطَرَاتٍ تَخْطُرُ عَلٰی قَلْبِیْ

WA INNAMAA ATLOBOHU BE-KHATARAATIN TAKHTORO A’LAA QALBEE

rather, I am seeking it owing to ideas that come upon my mind.

فَاَجُوْلُ فِیْ طَلَبِهِ الْبُلْدَانَ

FA-AJOOLO FEE TALABEHIL BULDAANA

I consequently wander in countries searching for it.

فَاَنَا فِیْمَآ اَنَا طَالِبٌ كَالْحَیْرَانِ

FA-ANAA FEEMAA ANAA TAALEBUN KAL HAYRAANE

By doing such, I am as confused as the confounded,

لَا اَدْرِیْ اَفِیْ سَهْلٍ هُوَ اَمْ فِیْ جَبَلٍ

LAA ADREE A-FEE SAHLIN HOWA AM FEE JABALIN

since I do not know whether my sustenance lies in a plain, on a mountain,

اَمْ فِیْ اَرْضٍ اَمْ فِیْ سَمَآءٍ

AM FEE ARZIN AM FEE ARZIN AM FEE SAMAAA-IN

on the ground, in the sky,

اَمْ فِیْ بَرٍّ اَمْ فِیْ بَحْرٍ

AM FEE BARRIN AM FEE BAHRIN

on lands, in seas,

وَ عَلٰی یَدَیْ مَنْ وَ مِنْ قِبَلِ مَنْ

WA A’LAA YADAY MAN WA MIN QEBALE MAN

at whose hands, or who the source of it is.

وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ اَنَّ عِلْمَهٗ عِنْدَكَ

WA QAD A’LIMTO ANNA I’LMAHU I’NDAKA

I have full knowledge that You know all these,

وَ اَسْبابَهٗ بِیَدِكَ

WA ASBAABAHU BE-YADEKA

the causes of them are in Your Hands,

وَ اَنْتَ الَّذِیْ تَقْسِمُهٗ بِلُطْفِكَ

WA ANTAL LAZEE TAQSEMOHU BE-LUTFEKA

and it is You Who distribute it out of Your compassion

وَ تُسَبِّبُهٗ بِرَحْمَتِكَ

WA TOSABBEBOHU BE-RAHMATEKA

and cause it out of Your mercy.

اَللّٰهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ آلِهٖ

ALLAAHUMMA FASALLE A’LAA MOHAMMADINW WA AALEHI

O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and his Household

وَاجْعَلْ یَا رَبِّ رِزْقَكَ لِیْ وَاسِعًا

WAJ-A’L YAA RABBE RIZQAKA LEE WAA-SE-A’N

and make, O Lord, Your sustenance that is provided (by You) to me expansive,

وَ مَطْلَبَهٗ سَهْلًا وَمَأْخَذَهٗ قَرِیْبًا

WA MATLABAHU SAHLAN WA MA’KHAZAHU QAREEBAN

my seeking for it easy for me, and its source close to me.

وَ لاَ تُعَنِّنِیْ بِطَلَبِ مَا لَمْ تُقَدِّرْ لِیْ فِیْهِ رِزْقًا

WA LAA TO-A’NNE-NEE BE TALABE MAA LAM TOQADDIR LEE FEEHE RIZQAN

Do not fatigue me by seeking that which You have not decided for me to take,

فَاِنَّكَ غَنِیٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِیْ

FA-INNAKA GHANIYYUN A’N A’ZAABEE

because You are certainly in no need for tormenting me

وَ اَنَا فَقِیْرٌ اِلٰی رَحْمَتِكَ

WA ANAA FAQEERUN ELAA RAHMATEKA

while I am in full need for Your mercy.

فَصَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِهٖ

FA-SALLE A’LAA MOHAMMADINW WA AALEHI

Then send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household

وَجُدْ عَلٰی عَبْدِكَ بِفَضْلِكَ

WA JUD A’LAYYA A’BDEKA BE-FAZLEKA

and confer liberally upon me, Your slave, out of Your graciousness.

اِنَّكَ ذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَظِیْمٍ.

INNAKA ZOO FAZLIN A’ZEEMIN.

You are surely the Lord of great favor.
