His Supplication in Seeking Needs from God

دُعَاؤُهُ فِي طَلَبِ الْحَوَائِجِ الى الله تعالى

أللَّهُمَّ يَا مُنْتَهَى مَطْلَبِ الْحَاجَاتِ
O God, O ultimate object of needs!
وَيَا مَنْ عِنْدَه نَيْلُ الطَّلِبَاتِ
O He through whom requests are attained!
وَيَا مَنْ لا يَبِيْعُ نِعَمَهُ بالأثْمَانِ
O He whose favours are not bought by prices!
وَيَا مَنْ لا يُكَدِّرُ عَطَايَاهُ بِالامْتِنَانِ
O He who does not muddy His gifts by the imposition of obligations!
وَيَا مَنْ يُسْتَغْنَى بِهِ وَلاَ يُسْتَغْنَى عَنْهُ
O He along with whom nothing is needed and without whom nothing can be done!
وَيَا مَنْ يُرْغَبُ إلَيْهِ وَلا يُرْغَبُ عَنْهُ.
O He toward whom desire is ever directed and never turned away!
وَيَا مَنْ لا تُفنى خَزَآئِنَهُ الْمَسَائِلُ
O He whose treasuries cannot be exhausted by demands!
وَيَا مَنْ لاَ تُبَدِّلُ حِكْمَتَهُ الْوَسَائِلُ.
O He whose wisdom cannot be altered by any means!
وَيَا مَنْ لاَ تَنْقَطِعُ عَنْهُ حَوَائِجُ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ
O He from whom the needs of the needy are never cut off!
وَيَا مَنْ لاَ يُعَنِّيهِ دُعَاءُ الدَّاعِينَ
O He who is not distressed by the supplications of the supplicators!
تَمَدَّحْتَ بِالْغَنَاءِ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ وَأَنْتَ أَهْلُ الْغِنَى عَنْهُمْ
Thou hast lauded Thyself for having no need for Thy creatures, and it suits Thee to have no need for them,
وَنَسَبْتَهُمْ إلَى الفَقْرِ وَهُمْ أَهْلُ الْفَقْرِ إلَيْكَ.
and Thou hast attributed to them poverty, and it suits them to be poor toward Thee.
فَمَنْ حَاوَلَ سَدَّ خَلَّتِهِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ
So he who strives to remedy his lack through what is with Thee
وَرَامَ صَرْفَ الْفَقْر عَنْ نَفْسِهِ بِكَ فَقَدْ طَلَبَ حَاجَتَهُ
and wishes to turn poverty away from himself through Thee has sought his need
فِي مَظَانِّها وَأَتَى طَلِبَتَهُ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا
in the most likely place and come to his request from the right quarter.
وَمَنْ تَوَجَّهَ بِحَاجَتِهِ إلَى أَحَد مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوْ جَعَلَهُ سَبَبَ نُجْحِهَا
But he who turns in his need toward one of Thy creatures or assigns the cause of its being granted
دُونَكَ فَقَدْ تَعَرَّضَ لِلْحِرْمَانِ
to other than Thee, has exposed himself to deprivation
وَاسْتَحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَوْتَ الاِحْسَانِ
and deserves to miss Thy beneficence.
أللَّهُمَّ وَلِي إلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ قَـدْ قَصَّرَ عَنْهَـا جُهْدِي
O God, I have a need of Thee: my exertion has fallen short of it
وَتَقَطَّعَتْ دُونَهَا حِيَلِي
and my stratagems have been cut back before reaching it.
وَسَوَّلَتْ لِيْ نَفْسِي رَفْعَهَا إلَى مَنْ يَرْفَعُ حَوَائِجَهُ إلَيْكَ
My soul induced me to present it to him who presents his needs to Thee
وَلاَ يَسْتَغْنِي فِي طَلِبَاتِهِ عَنْكَ
and can do nothing without Thee in his requests,
وَهِيَ زَلَّةٌ مِنْ زَلَلِ الْخَاطِئِينَ
but this is one the slips of the offenders,
وَعَثْرَةٌ مِنْ عَثَراتِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ
one of the stumbles of the sinners!
ثُمَّ انْتَبَهْتُ بِتَذْكِيرِكَ لِي مِنْ غَفْلَتِي
Then through Thy reminding me, I was aroused from my heedlessness,
وَنَهَضْتُ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ مِنْ زَلَّتِي
through Thy giving success, I stood up from my slip,
وَ رَجَعتُ وَنَكَصْتُ بِتَسْـدِيدِكَ عَنْ عَثْـرَتِي
and through Thy pointing the way, I returned and withdrew from my stumble.
وَقُلْتُ: سُبْحَانَ رَبّي كَيْفَ يَسْأَلُ مُحْتَاجٌ مُحْتَاجـاً
I said: Glory be to my Lord! How can the needy ask from the needy?
وَأَنَّى يَرْغَبُ مُعْدِمٌ إلَى مُعْدِم؟
How can the destitute beseech the destitute?
فَقَصَدْتُكَ يا إلهِي بِالرَّغْبَةِ
So I went straight to Thee, my God, in beseeching,
وَأَوْفَدْتُ عَلَيْكَ رَجَائِي بِالثِّقَةِ بِكَ
and I sent Thee my hope with trust in Thee.
وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ كَثِيرَ مَا أَسْأَلُكَ يَسِيرٌ فِي وُجْدِكَ
I came to know that the many I request from Thee are few before Thy wealth,
وَأَنَّ خَطِيرَ مَا أَسْتَوْهِبُكَ حَقِيرٌ فِيْ وُسْعِكَ
the weighty I ask from Thee is vile before Thy plenty;
وَأَنَّ كَرَمَكَ لاَ يَضِيقُ عَنْ سُؤَال أحَد
Thy generosity is not constrained by anyone''s asking,
وَأَنَّ يَدَكَ بِالْعَطايا أَعْلَى مِنْ كُلِّ يَد.
Thy hand is higher in bestowing gifts than every hand!
أللَهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ وَاحْمِلْنِي بِكَرَمِكَ عَلَى التَّفَضُّلِ
O God, so bless Muhammad and His Household, take me through They generosity to Thy gratuitous bounty
وَلاَ تَحْمِلْنِي بِعَدْلِكَ عَلَى الاسْتِحْقَاقِ
And take me not through Thy justice to what I deserve!
فَما أَنَا بِأَوَّلِ رَاغِبِ رَغِبَ إلَيْكَ فَأَعْطَيْتَهُ وَهُوَ يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمَنْعَ
I am not the first beseecher to beseech Thee and Thou bestowed upon him while he deserved withholding,
وَلاَ بِأَوَّلِ سَائِل سَأَلَكَ فَأَفْضَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَسْتَوْجِبُ الْحِرْمَانَ.
nor am I the first to ask from Thee and Thou wast bounteous toward him while he merited deprivation.
أللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his Household,
وَكُنْ لِدُعَائِي مُجِيباً وَمِنْ نِدائِي قَرِيباً
respond to my supplication, come near my call,
وَلِتَضَرُّعِي رَاحِماً وَلِصَوْتِي سَامِعاً
have mercy on my pleading, listen to my voice,
وَلاَ تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِي عَنْكَ وَلا تَبُتَّ سَبَبِي مِنْكَ
cut not short my hope for Thee, sever not my thread to Thee,
وَلاَ تُوَجِّهْنِي فِي حَاجَتيْ هَذِهِ وَغَيْرِهَا إلى سِوَاكَ
turn not my face in this my need, and other needs, away from Thee,
وَتَوَلَّنِي بِنُجْحِ طَلِبَتِي وَقَضاءِ حَاجَتِي
attend for my sake to the fulfillment of my request, the granting of my need,
وَنَيْلِ سُؤْلِي قَبْلَ زَوَالِي عَنْ مَوْقِفِي هَذَا
and the attainment of what I have asked before I leave this place
بِتَيسِيرِكَ لِيَ الْعَسِيْرَ وَحُسْنِ تَقْدِيرِكَ لِي فِي جَمِيعِ الأُمُورِ.
through Thy making easy for me the difficult and Thy excellent ordainment for me in all affairs!
وَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ صَلاَةً دَائِمَةً نَامِيَةً لاَ انْقِطَاعَ لأِبَدِهَا
Bless Muhammad and his Household with a permanent, ever-growing blessing, whose perpetuity has no cutting off
وَلا مُنْتَهَى لأِمَدِهَا وَاجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ عَوْناً لِيْ وَسَبَباً لِنَجَاحِ طَلِبَتِي إنَّكَ وَاسِعٌ كَرِيْمٌ.
and whose term knows no limit, and make that a help to me and a cause for the granting of my request! Thou art Boundless, Generous!
وَمِنْ حَاجَتِي يَا رَبِّ كَذَا وَكَذَا
And of my needs,my Lord, are such and such
وَتَذْكُرُ حَاجَتَكَ ثمّ تَسْجُـدُ وَتَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ:
(Here you should state your needs, then prostrate yourself, and say in your prostration:)
فَضْلُكَ آنَسَنِي وَإحْسَانُكَ دَلَّنِي
Thy bounty has comforted me and Thy beneficence has shown the way,
فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِكَ وَبِمُحَمَّـد وَآلِهِ صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهمْ أَنْ لاَ تَرُدَّنِي خَائِباً.
So I ask Thee by Thee and by Muhammad and his Household (Thy blessings be upon them) that Thou sendest me not back in disappointment!
