Du'a al-Faraj (Invocation for the Advent of the Imam of the Age)

O my Lord! The calamity has aggravated; the absence prolonged; The curtain of modesty has been lifted; hope has been curtailed; The earth has been narrow; and sky has been denied. The earth has been narrow; and sky has been denied. And in You we trust in the times of difficulty.	Ilahī ʿaẓum-a l-balāʾ-u wa bariḥ-a l-khafāʾ-u wa nkashaf-a l-ghitāʾ-u wa nqaṭaʿa l-rajāʾ-u wa ḍāqat-i l-ʾarḍ-u wa muniʿat-i l-samāʾ-u wa ant-a l-mustaʿān-u wa ilayk-a l-mushtakā wa ʿalayk-a l-muʿawwal-u fi l-shiddat-i wa l-rakhāʾ	إِلَهِی عَظُمَ الْبَلاءُ وَ بَرِحَ الْخَفَاءُ وَ انْکشَفَ الْغِطَاءُ وَ انْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ وَ ضَاقَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ مُنِعَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَ إِلَیک الْمُشْتَکی وَ عَلَیک الْمُعَوَّلُ فِی الشِّدَّةِ وَ الرَّخَاءِ
O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad (S) and the progeny of Muhammad (S),The possessors of authority whose obedience you have enjoined upon us And by that made us aware of their position. Then make open for us, by their truth, an immediate opening, immediate as a wink or sooner.
