وَهَبْ لِيَ الْعَافِيَةَ مِنْ دَيْن تُخْلِقُ بِهِ وَجْهِي،
and release me from a debt which makes me lose face,
وَيَحَارُ فِيهِ ذِهْنِي، وَيَتَشَعَّبُ لَهُ فِكْرِي،
confuses my mind, disrupts my thinking,
وَيَطُولُ بِمُمَارَسَتِهِ شُغْلِي،

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ هَمِّ الدَّيْنِ وَفِكْرِهِ،
I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, from worry and thought about debt,
وَشُغْلِ الدَّيْنِ وَسَهَرِهِ.

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ وَأَعِذْنِي مِنْهُ.
so bless Muhammad and his Household and give me refuge from it!
وَأَسْتَجيرُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ ذِلَّتِهِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ
I seek sanctuary in Thee, my Lord, from debt's abasement in life
وَمِنْ تَبِعَتِهِ بَعْدَ الْوَفَاةِ.
and its ill effects after death,
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ وَأَجِرْنِي مِنْهُ
so bless Muhammad and his Household and give me sanctuary from it
بِوُسْع فاضِل أَوْ كَفَاف وَاصِل.
through a bountiful plenty or a continually arriving sufficiency!
أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِـهِ

وَاقْبِضْنِي بِلُطْفِكَ عَنِ التَّبْذِيرِ
hold me back through Thy gentleness from squandering,
وَأَجْرِ مِنْ أَسْبَابِ الْحَلاَلِ أَرْزَاقِي،
allow me to attain my provisions through lawful means,
وَوَجِّهْ فِي أَبْوَابِ الْبِرِّ إنْفَاقِي،
direct my spending toward the gateways of devotion,
وَازْوِ عَنِّي مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يُحْدِثُ لِي مَخِيلََةً

أَوْ تَأَدِّياً إلَى بَغْي، أَوْ مَا أَتَعَقَّبُ مِنْهُ طُغْيَـاناً.
lead to insolence, or drag me in its heels to rebellion!
أللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إلَيَّ صُحْبَـةَ الْفُقَرَاءِ،
O God, make me love the companionship of the poor
وَأَعِنِّي عَلَى صُحْبَتِهِمْ بِحُسْنِ الْصَّبْرِ،
and help me be their companion with excellent patience!
وَمَـا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي مِنْ مَتَاعِ الدُّنْيَاالفَانِيَةِ
Whenever Thou takest away from me the goods of this perishing world,
فَاذْخَرْهُ لِيْ فِي خَزَائِنِكَ البَاقِيَةِ،
store them for me in Thy abiding treasuries!
وَاجْعَلْ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي مِنْ حُطَامِهَا،
Make this world's broken pieces which Thou hast conferred upon me
وَعَجَّلْتَ لِي مِنْ مَتَاعِهَا بُلْغَةً إلَى جِوَارِكَ،
and its goods which Thou hast quickly granted to me a way to reach Thy neighbourhood,
وَوُصْلَةً إلَى قُرْبِكَ، وَذَرِيعَةً إلَى جَنَّتِكَ
a link to Thy nearness, and a means to Thy Garden!
إنَّكَ ذو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ،
Verily Thou art Possessor of bounty abounding,
وَأَنْتَ الْجَوَادُ الْكَرِيْمُ.
and Thou art the Munificent, the Generous.
