Dua for 22nd Night

یَا سالِخَ النَّہارِ مِنَ اللَّیْلِ


O (One) who draws forth the day from the night,

فَإِذا نَحْنُ مُظْلِمُونَ


and lo! we are in darkness.

وَمُجْرِیَ الشَّمْسِ لِمُسْتَقَرِّ ہا بِتَقْدِیرِکَ


O (One) who causes the sun to travel its appointed place, through his decree,

یَا عَزِیزُ یَا عَلِیمُ


O the Mighty, the All-knowing.

وَمُقَدِّرَ الْقَمَرِ مَنازِلَ


and who decreed stages for the moon,

حَتّی عادَ کَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِیمِ،


till it returns bent like a palm tree.

یَا نُورَ کُلِّ نُورٍ،


O the Light of all lights,

وَمُنْتَہیٰ کُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ،


and the ultimate goal of all desires,

وَوَلِیَّ کُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ،


and the Guardian of all blessings,

یَا اللهُ یَا رَحْمٰنُ،


O Allah, O Beneficent.

O Allah, O Allah,

لَکَ الْاَسْماءُ الْحُسْنی


You have the most beautiful names,

وَالْاَمْثالُ الْعُلْیا


the highest examples,

وَالْکِبْرِیاءُ وَالْاَلاءُ،


the grandeur, the bounties.

أَسْأَ لُکَ أَنْ تُصَلِّیَ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَھْلِ بَیْتِہِ


I beseech You to bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,

وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ اسْمِی فِی ہذِھِ اللَّیْلَةِ فِی السُّعَداءِ


and place my name, in this night, among the fortunate,

وَرُوحِی مَعَ الشُّھَداءِ

let my good deeds be (written) in the 'Illiyyin (Book of the virtuous),

وَإِسائَتِی مَغْفُورَةً


and my evil deeds be forgiven.

وَأَنْ تَھَبَ لِی یَقِیناً تُباشِرُ بِہِ قَلْبِی وَإِیماناً


grant me a certainty which gives joy to my heart,

یُذْھِبُ الشَّکَّ عَنِّی،


and a faith which drives doubt away from me,

وَتُرْضِیَنِی بِما قَسَمْتَ لِی،


and make me pleased with what You have granted me.

وَآتِنا فِی الدُّنْیا حَسَنَةً،


(And I beseech You to) Give us good in this world,

وَفِی الْاَخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً،


and good in the Hereafter,

وَقِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ الْحَرِیقِ،


and save us from the punishment of the burning fire. (2:201)

وَارْزُقْنِی فِیہا


(And I beseech You to) grant me in it (Laylatul Qadr)

ذِکْرَکَ وَشُکْرَکَ،


Your remembrance, and Your gratitude, and desire for (pleasing) You,

وَالرَّغْبَةَ إِلَیْکَ، وَالْاِنابَةَ


turning (to You for repentance), and success,

وَ التَّوْفِیقَ


and grant me in it

لِما وَفَّقْتَ لَہُ مُحَمَّداً وَآلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَیْھِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ ۔


all that You have granted Muhammad and his family, peace be on him and on them.
