wakh tim lee bis-sa-a’adate
seal my life with felicity,
وَ اَحْيِنِيْ بِالسَّلَامَةِ
wa ahyenee bis-salaamate
and grant me life with safety and peace,
يَا ذَا الْفَضْلِ وَ الْكَمَالِ، وَ الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْجَلَالِ
yaa zal fazle wal kamaale, wal i’zzate wal jalaale
O Owner of grace and perfection, and majesty and glory!
وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِيْ عَدُوًّا وَ لَا حَاسِدًا
wa laa tushmit bee a’duwwan wa laa haasedan
Do not let an enemy or an envious person gloat over me,
وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ سُلْطَانًا عَنِيْدًا وَ لَا شَيْطَانًا مَرِيْدًا
wa laa tosallit a’layya sultaanan a’needan wa laa shaytaanan mareedan
and do not impose upon me a stubborn oppressor nor a rebellious devil,
بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ
be-rahmateka yaa arhamar raahemeen
by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful!
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ
wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil a’liyyil a’zeeme
And there is no might nor power except with Allah, the Exalted, the Magnificent.
وَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِہٖ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِیْمًا
wa sallal laaho a’laa mohammadin wa aalehi wa sallama tasleemaa
May Allah send blessings and peace abundantly upon Muhammad and his progeny.
