Dua-e-Fajr

اصْبَحْتُ ٱللَّهُمَّ مُعْتَصِماً بِذِمَامِكَ ٱلْمَنِيعِ

O Allah, I have begun this morning seeking refuge with Your invulnerable security

ٱلَّذِي لاَ يُطَاوَلُ وَلاَ يُحَاوَلُ

that is neither touched nor caught

مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ غَاشِمٍ وَطَارِقٍ

against the evil of all oppressive and domineering ones

مِنْ سَائِرِ مَنْ خَلَقْتَ وَمَا خَلَقْتَ

from among all Your animate and inanimate creatures

مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ٱلصَّامِتِ وَٱلنَّاطِقِ

both the silent and the speaking;

في جُنَّةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ مَخُوفٍ

and being in protection against all terrifying things;

بِلِبَاسٍ سَابِغَةٍ

and being in the complete garb

وَلاَءِ اهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ

of my loyalty to the Household of Your Prophet;

مُحْتَجِباً مِنْ كُلِّ قَاصِدٍ لِي إِلىٰ اذِيَّةٍ

and veiling myself against all those who intend harm to me,

بِجِدَارٍ حَصِينٍ

behind an impervious wall,

ٱلإِخْلاَصِ فِي ٱلإِعْتِرَافِ بِحَقِّهِمْ

which is my sincerity in the profession of their (Divinely commissioned) right (of leadership)

وَٱلتَّمَسُّكِ بَحَبْلِهِمْ

and my adherence to their Rope,

مُوقِناً انَّ ٱلْحَقَّ لَهُمْ وَمَعَهُمْ

and bearing with certainty that the Right is theirs, with them,

وَفيهِمْ وَبِهِمْ

in them, and amid them.

اوَالِي مَنْ وَالَوْٱ

I thus accede to those whom they accept

وَاجَانِبُ مَنْ جَانَبُوٱ

and depart those whom they depart.

فَاعِذْنِي اَللَّهُمَّ بِهِمْ

O Allah, protect me, in the names of them,

مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ مَا اتَّقيهِ يَا عَظِيمُ

against the evil of all that which I fear, O All-great.

حَجَزْتُ ٱلاعَادِيَ عَنِّي بِبَدِيعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلارْضِ

I am restraining the enemies against me through the Originator of the heavens and the earth;

﴿وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ ايْديهِمِ سَدّاً

“And We have set a bar before them

وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدّاً

and a bar behind them,

فَاغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يُبْصِرُونَ﴾

and (thus) have covered them so that they see not.”
