"O God, I beg Thee in regard to grace for its completeness,
I regard to protection for its permanence,
in regard to mercy for its totality,
in regard to wellbeing for its realisation,
in regard to livelihood for the most plentiful,
in regard to life for the most happy,
in regard to beneficence for the most perfect,
in regard to favour for the most inclusive,
in regard to generosity for the most sweet,
and in regard to gentleness for the most intimate.
O God, be for us and do not be against us!
O God, conclude our lives with happiness,
and make our hopes abundantly real,
unite our mornings and evenings in well being,
and entrust our destiny and future state to Thy mercy,
pour the vessel of Thy forgiveness over our sins,
grant us the correction of our faults,
make God-consciousness our provision,
and make our exertion to be for Thy religion,
and our trust and our confidence to be in Thee.
O God, set us upon the path of righteousnes,
protect us in the world from causes of regret on the Day of Resurrection,
lighten the weight of our sins,
endow us with the way of life of the godly,
restrain us from and aver from us the evil of the wicked,
and release our necks and the necks of our fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters from hellfire,
by Thy Mercy,
Thou Infinitely Precious,
Thou Ever-Forgiving,
Thou Bountiful One,
Thou Veiler of sins,
Thou Omniscient and Omnipotent!
O God, O God, O God!
By Thy Mercy,
Thou Most Merciful of the Merciful,
Thou First of all and Last of all,
Thou Mighty Lord of Power,
Thou who hast mercy on the needy,
Thou Most Merciful of the Merciful,
there is no God but Thou,
glory be to Thee: I am a sinner!
God bless our liege lord Muhammad,
all his Family and Companions,
and praise belongs to God,
the Lord of the Worlds."
