دُعَاؤُهُ فِي الِاشْتِيَاقِ الى طَلَبِ المَغفِرَةِ مِن الله


Supplication in Yearning

أللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ


O God, bless Muhammad and his Household,

وَصَيِّرْنَـا إلَى مَحْبُوبِكَ مِنَ التَّوْبَةِ


make us go to the repentance that Thou lovest

وَأَزِلْنَا عَنْ مَكْرُوهِكَ مِنَ الإصْرَارِ.


and make us leave the persistence that Thou hatest!

أللَّهُمَّ وَمَتَى وَقَفْنَا بَيْنَ نَقْصَيْنِ فِي دِين


O God, when we halt before two decreases, in religion

أَوْ دُنْيَا فَأَوْقِعِ النَّقْصَ بِأَسْرَعِهِمَا فَنَاءً ،


or in this world, let the decrease fall upon that which passes quickly

وَاجْعَلِ التّوْبَةَ فِي أَطْوَلِهِمَا بَقَاءً.


and relent in that which lasts the longer!

وَإذَا هَمَمْنَا بِهَمَّيْنِ يُرْضِيكَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنَّا


When we set out after two concerns, one of which makes Thee pleased with us

وَيُسْخِطُكَ الآخَرُ عَلَيْنَا ،


and the other of which displeases Thee,

فَمِلْ بِنَا إلَى مَا يُرْضِيْكَ عَنَّا ،


incline us toward that which makes Thee pleased

وَأَوْهِنْ قُوَّتَنَا عَمَّا يُسْخِطُكَ عَلَيْنَا ،


and weaken our strength in that which displeases Thee!

وَلاَ تُخَلِّ فِي ذلِكَ بَيْنَ نُفُوسِنَا وَاخْتِيَارِهَا


Leave not our souls alone to choose in that,

فَإنَّهَا مُخْتَارَةٌ لِلْبَاطِلِ إلاَّ مَا وَفَّقْتَ أَمَّارَةٌ بالسُّوءِ إلاّ مَا رَحِمْتَ


for they choose falsehood except inasmuch as Thou givest success, and they command to evil except inasmuch as Thou hast mercy!

اللَّهمَّ وَإنَّكَ مِنَ الضَّعْفِ خَلَقْتَنَا،


O God, thou created us from frailty,

وَعَلَى الْوَهْنِ بَنَيْتَنَا ، وَمِنْ ماُءٌُِِ مَهِين ابْتَدَأتَنَا ،


built us up from feebleness, and began us from a mean water;

فَلاَ حَوْلَ لَنَا إلاّ بِقُوَّتِكَ وَلا قُوَّةَ لَنَا إلاّ بِعَونِِكَ ،


we have no force except through Thy strength and no strength except through Thy help.

فَأيِّدْنَا بِتَوْفِيقِكَ وَسَدِّدْنَا بِتَسْدِيدِكَ


So confirm us by giving us success, point us the right way by Thy pointing,

وَأعْمِ أَبْصَارَ قُلُوبِنَا عَمَّا خَالَفَ مَحَبَّتَكَ


blind the eyes of our hearts toward everything opposed to Thy love,

وَلا تَجْعَلْ لِشَيْء مِنْ جَوَارِحِنَا نُفُوذاً فِي مَعْصِيَتِكَ.


and set not in any of our limbs passage to disobeying Thee!

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَد وَآلِهِ


O God, bless Muhammad and his Household

وَاجْعَلْ هَمَسَاتِ قُلُوبِنَا وَحَرَكَاتِ أَعْضَائِنَا ،


and assign the whisperings of our hearts, the movements of our members,

وَلَمَحَاتِ أَعْيُنِنَا ، وَلَهَجَاتِ ألسِنَتِنَا فِيْ مُوجِبَاتِ ثَوَابِكَ،


the glances of our eyes, and the idioms of our tongues, to that which makes incumbent Thy reward,

حَتَّى لاَ تَفُوتَنَا حَسَنَةٌ نَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا جَزَآءَكَ ،


lest a good deed slip by us, through which we might deserve Thy repayment,

وَلا تَبْقَى لَنَا سَيِّئـةٌ نَسْتَوْجِبُ بِهَا عِقَابَكَ.


or an evil deed remain with us, by which we might merit Thy punishment!
