O Allah, Who unfurls the tongue of morning with its brilliant speech

وَسَرَّحَ قِطَعَ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ بِغَيَاهِبِ تَلَجْلُجِهِ

And sends forth the fragments of dark night with its gloomy veils

وَأَتْقَنَ صُنْعَ الْفَلَكِ الدَّوَّارِ فِيْ مَقَادِيرِ تَبَرُّجِهِ

And perfects the making of the revolving celestial sphere in the measures of its adornment

O You Who proves Your existence through Your own essence

وَتَنَزَّهَ عَنْ مُجَانَسَةِ مَخْلُوقَاتِهِ

And is above any resemblance to Your creation

وَجَلَّ عَنْ مُلائَمَةِ كَيْفِيَّاتِهِ

And is exalted above any description of Your qualities

يَا مَنْ قَرُبَ مِنْ خَطَرَاتِ الظُّنُونِ

O You Who is closer than the thoughts of speculation

وَبَعُدَ عَنْ لَحَظَاتِ الْعُيُونِ

Yet far beyond the glances of eyes

وَعَلِمَ بِمَا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ

And knows what was before it came to be

يَا مَنْ أَرْقَدَنِيْ فِيْ مِهَادِ أَمْنِهِ وَأَمَانِهِ

O You Who placed me to sleep in the cradle of Your security and protection

وَأَيْقَظَنِيْ إِلٰى مَا مَنَحَنِيْ بِهِ مِنْ مِنَنِهِ وَإِحْسَانِهِ

And awakened me to what You have bestowed upon me from Your favors and kindness

وَكَفَّ أَكُفَّ السُّوءِ عَنِّيْ بِيَدِهِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ

And kept away from me the hands of evil through Your power and authority

صَلِّ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الدَّلِيلِ إِلَيْكَ فِيْ اللَّيْلِ الْأَلْيَلِ

O Allah, send blessings upon the guide towards You in the darkest night

وَالْمَاسِكِ مِنْ أَسْبَابِكَ بِحَبْلِ الشَّرَفِ الْأَطْوَلِ

And the one who holds fast to Your means with the rope of the highest honor

وَالنَّاصِعِ الْحَسَبِ فِيْ ذِرْوَةِ الْكَاهِلِ الْأَعْبَلِ

And the one of firm foothold on its slippery places in the earliest times

وَعَلٰى آلِهِ الْأَخْيَارِ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ الْأَبْرَارِ

And upon his righteous, chosen, and pious family

وَافْتَحِ اللَّهُمَّ لَنَا مَصَارِيْعَ الصَّبَاحِ

O Allah, open for us the gates of morning

بِمَفَاتِيحِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَالْفَلَاحِ

With the keys of mercy and success

وَأَلْبِسْنِيْ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ خِلَعِ الْهِدَايَةِ وَالصَّلَاحِ

O Allah, clothe me with the best robes of guidance and righteousness

وَأَغْرِسِ اللَّهُمَّ بِعَظَمَتِكَ فِيْ شِرْبِ جَنَانِيْ يَنَابِيعَ الْخُشُوعِ

O Allah, plant in the core of my heart, by Your greatness, the springs of humility

وَأَجْرِ اللَّهُمَّ لِهَيْبَتِكَ مِنْ آمَاقِيْ زَفَرَاتِ الدُّمُوعِ

O Allah, cause tears to flow from my eyes out of awe for You

وَأَدِّبِ اللَّهُمَّ نَزَقَ الْخُرْقِ مِنِّي بِأَزِمَّةِ الْقُنُوعِ

O Allah, discipline my reckless foolishness with the reins of contentment

إِلٰهِيْ إِنْ لَمْ تَبْتَدِئْنِيْ الرَّحْمَةُ مِنْكَ بِحُسْنِ التَّوْفِيقِ

My God, if You do not begin with mercy from You by granting good guidance

فَمَنِ السَّالِكُ بِىْ إِلَيْكَ فِيْ وَاضِحِ الطَّرِيقِ

Then who will lead me to You on the clear path?

وَإِنْ أَسْلَمَتْنِيْ أَنَاتُكَ لِقَائِدِ الْأَمَلِ وَالْمُنَىٰ

And if Your patience leaves me to the leader of hope and desire

فَمَنِ الْمُقِيلُ عَثَرَاتِيْ مِنْ كَبَوَاتِ الْهَوٰى

Then who will help me up from the stumbles of passion?

وَإِنْ خَذَلَنِيْ نَصْرُكَ عِنْدَ مُحَارَبَةِ النَّفْسِ وَالشَّيْطَانِ

And if Your help abandons me in the battle against the self and Satan

فَقَدْ وَكَلَنِيْ خِذْلاَنُكَ إِلٰى حَيْثُ النَّصَبِ وَالْحِرْمَانِ

Then Your abandonment has left me to fatigue and deprivation

إِلٰهِيْ أَتَرَانِيْ مَا أَتَيْتُكَ إِلَّا مِنْ حَيْثُ الْآمَالِ

My God, do You see that I have come to You only through the gate of hope?

أَمْ عَلِقْتُ بِأَطْرَافِ حِبَالِكَ إِلَّا حِيْنَ بَاعَدَتْنِيْ ذُنُوبِىْ عَنْ دَارِ الْوِصَالِ

Or have I clung to the ends of Your ropes only when my sins have distanced me from the house of union?

فَبِئْسَ الْمَطِيَّةُ الَّتِيْ امْتَطَتْ نَفْسِيْ مِنْ هَوَاهَا

How wretched is the mount that my soul has ridden in its desires!

فَوَاهًا لَهَا لِمَا سَوَّلَتْ لَهَا ظُنُونُهَا وَمُنَاهَا

Woe to it for what its thoughts and wishes have enticed it to do!

وَتَبًّا لَهَا لِجُرْأَتِهَا عَلٰى سَيِّدِهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا

And destruction to it for its boldness against its Master and Lord!

إِلٰهِيْ قَرَعْتُ بَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ بِيَدِ رَجَائِي

My God, I have knocked at the door of Your mercy with the hand of my hope

وَهَرَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ لَاٰجِئًا مِنْ فَرْطِ أَهْوَائِي

And I have fled to You, seeking refuge from the excess of my desires

وَعَلَّقْتُ بِأَطْرَافِ حِبَالِكَ أَنَامِلَ وَلَاٰئِي

And I have attached the fingers of my loyalty to the ends of Your ropes

فَاصْفَحِ اللَّهُمَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُ أَجْرَمْتُهُ مِنْ زَلَلِيْ وَخَطَائِي

So, O Allah, pardon what I have committed of errors and mistakes

وَأَقِلْنِيْ مِنْ صَرْعَةِ رِدَائِي

And lift me from the fall of my disgrace

فَإِنَّكَ سَيِّدِيْ وَمَوْلَايَ وَمُعْتَمَدِيْ وَرَجَائِي

For You are my Master, my Lord, my Support, and my Hope

وَأَنْتَ غَايَةُ مَطْلُوبِىْ وَمُنَايَ فِيْ مُنْقَلَبِىْ وَمَثْوَايَ

And You are the Ultimate Goal of my quest and desire in my return and my resting place

إِلٰهِيْ كَيْفَ تَطْرُدُ مِسْكِينًا الْتَجَأَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الذُّنُوْبِ هَارِبًا

My God, how could You reject a poor one who has fled to You from sins?

أَمْ كَيْفَ تُخَيِّبُ مُسْتَرْشِدًا قَصَدَ إِلٰى جَنَابِكَ سَاعِيًا

Or how could You disappoint one seeking guidance who has hastened to Your threshold?

أَمْ كَيْفَ تَرُدُّ ظَمْآنًا وَرَدَ إِلٰى حِيَاضِكَ شَارِبًا

Or how could You turn away a thirsty one who has come to Your fountains to drink?

كَلَّا وَحِيَاضُكَ مُتْرَعَةٌ فِيْ ضَنْكِ الْمُحُوْلِ

Never! For Your fountains are full even in times of drought

وَبَابُكَ مَفْتُوْحٌ لِلطَّلَبِ وَالْوُغُوْلِ

And Your door is open for seeking and entering

وَأَنْتَ غَايَةُ الْمَسْؤُوْلِ وَنِهَايَةُ الْمَأْمُوْلِ

And You are the Ultimate Goal of all requests and the Final End of all hopes

إِلٰهِيْ هَذِهِ أَزِمَّةُ نَفْسِيْ عَقَلْتُهَا بِعِقَالِ مَشِيَّتِكَ

My God, here are the reins of my soul which I have bound with the halter of Your will

وَهٰذِهِ أَعْبَاءُ ذُنُوبِىْ دَرَأْتُهَا بِعَفْوِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ

And here are the burdens of my sins which I have warded off with Your pardon and mercy

وَهٰذِهِ أَهْوَائِيَ الْمُضِلَّةُ وَكَلْتُهَا إِلٰى جَنَابِ لُطْفِكَ وَرَأْفَتِكَ

And here are my misleading desires which I have entrusted to the threshold of Your kindness and compassion

فَاجْعَلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَبَاحِيْ هٰذَا نَازِلًا عَلَيَّ بِضِيَاءِ الْهُدىٰ

O Allah, make this morning of mine descend upon me with the light of guidance

وَبِالسَّلامَةِ فِيْ الدِّينِ وَالدُّنْيَا

And with safety in religion and worldly life

وَمَسَائِي جُنَّةً مِنْ كَيْدِ الْعِدَىٰ

And make my evening a shield from the plots of enemies

وَوِقَايَةً مِنْ مُرْدِيَاتِ الْهَوَىٰ

And a protection from the destructive passions

إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ عَلٰى مَا تَشَاءُ

Surely You have power over what You will

تُؤْتِيْ الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ

You give sovereignty to whom You will

Indeed, You have power over all things

تُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِيْ النَّهَارِ

You cause the night to enter into the day

وَتُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِيْ اللَّيْلِ

And You cause the day to enter into the night
