abandoning his prohibitions, وَ الِانْتِهَاءِ عِنْدَ نَهْيِهِ ،
and that no forward-goer go ahead of him وَ أَلَّا يَتَقَدَّمَهُ مُتَقَدِّمٌ ،
or back-keeper keep back from him! وَ لَا يَتَأَخَّرَ عَنْهُ مُتَأَخِّرٌ
So he is the preservation of the shelter-seekers, فَهُوَ عِصْمَةُ اللَّائِذِينَ ،
the cave of the faithful, وَ كَهْفُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
the handhold of the adherents, and the radiance of the worlds! وَ عُرْوَةُ الْمُتَمَسِّكِينَ ، وَ بَهَاءُ الْعَالَمِينَ .
61- O God, so inspire Thy guardian to give thanks for that in which Thou hast favoured him, 61. اللَّهُمَّ فَأَوْزِعْ لِوَلِيِّكَ شُكْرَ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ ،
inspire us with the like concerning him, وَ أَوْزِعْنَا مِثْلَهُ فِيهِ ،
grant him an authority from Thee to help him, وَ آتِهِ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطَاناً نَصِيراً ،
open for him an easy opening, وَ افْتَحْ لَهُ فَتْحاً يَسِيراً ،
aid him with Thy mightiest pillar, وَ أَعِنْهُ بِرُكْنِكَ الْأَعَزِّ ،
brace up his back, وَ اشْدُدْ أَزْرَهُ ،
strengthen his arm, وَ قَوِّ عَضُدَهُ ،
guard him with Thy eye, defend him with Thy safeguarding, وَ رَاعِهِ بِعَيْنِكَ ، وَ احْمِهِ بِحِفْظِكَ
help him with Thy angels, وَ انْصُرْهُ بِمَلَائِكَتِكَ ،
and assist him with Thy most victorious troops! وَ امْدُدْهُ بِجُنْدِكَ الْأَغْلَبِ .
62- Through him establish Thy Book, Thy bounds, Thy laws, 62. وَ أَقِمْ بِهِ كِتَابَكَ وَ حُدُودَكَ وَ شَرَائِعَكَ
and the norms of Thy Messenger's Sunna وَ سُنَنَ رَسُولِكَ ،
(Thy blessings, O God, be upon him and his Household), صَلَوَاتُكَ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ،
bring to life the guideposts of Thy religion, وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ مَا أَمَاتَهُ الظَّالِمُونَ مِنْ مَعَالِمِ دِينِكَ ،
deadened by the wrongdoers, burnish the rust of injustice from Thy way, وَ اجْلُ بِهِ صَدَاءَ الْجَوْرِ عَنْ طَرِيقَتِكَ ،
sift the adversity from Thy road, وَ أَبِنْ بِهِ الضَّرَّاءَ مِنْ سَبِيلِكَ ،
eliminate those who deviate from Thy path, وَ أَزِلْ بِهِ النَّاكِبِينَ عَنْ صِرَاطِكَ ،
and erase those who seek crookedness in Thy straightness! وَ امْحَقْ بِهِ بُغَاةَ قَصْدِكَ عِوَجاً
63- Make his side mild toward Thy friends, 63. وَ أَلِنْ جَانِبَهُ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ ،
stretch forth his hand over Thy enemies, وَ ابْسُطْ يَدَهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِكَ ،
give us his clemency, his mercy, his tenderness, his sympathy, وَ هَبْ لَنَا رَأْفَتَهُ ، وَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَ تَعَطُّفَهُ وَ تَحَنُّنَهُ ،
and make us his hearers and obeyers, وَ اجْعَلْنَا لَهُ سَامِعِينَ مُطِيعِينَ ،
strivers toward his good pleasure, وَ فِي رِضَاهُ سَاعِينَ ،
assistants in helping him and defending him, وَ إِلَى نُصْرَتِهِ وَ الْمُدَافَعَةِ عَنْهُ مُكْنِفِينَ ،
and brought near through that to The and Thy Messenger (Thy blessings, O God, be upon him and his Household). وَ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَى رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِذَلِكَ مُتَقَرِّبِينَ .
64- O God, and bless the friends [of the Imams], the confessors of their station, 64. اللَّهُمَّ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِمُ الْمُعْتَرِفِينَ بِمَقَامِهِمُ ،
the keepers to their course, the pursuers of their tracks, الْمُقْتَفِينَ آثَارَهُمُ الْمُتَّبِعِينَ مَنْهَجَهُمُ،
the clingers to their handhold, the adherents to their guardianship, الْمُسْتَمْسِكِينَ بِعُرْوَتِهِمُ ، الْمُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِوِلَايَتِهِمُ ،
the followers of their imamate, الْمُؤْتَمِّينَ بِإِمَامَتِهِمُ ،
the submitters to their command, الْمُسَلِّمِينَ لِأَمْرِهِمُ ،
the strivers to obey them, the awaiters of their days, الْمُجْتَهِدِينَ فِي طَاعَتِهِمُ ، الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ أَيَّامَهُمُ ،
the directors of their eyes toward them, الْمَادِّينَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْيُنَهُمُ ،
with blessings blessed, pure, growing, fresh, and fragrant! الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمُبَارَكَاتِ الزَّاكِيَاتِ النَّامِيَاتِ الْغَادِيَاتِ الرَّائِحَاتِ .
65- Give them and their spirits peace, 65. وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ ،
bring together their affair in reverential fear, وَ اجْمَعْ عَلَى التَّقْوَى أَمْرَهُمْ ،
set right their situations, turn toward them, وَ أَصْلِحْ لَهُمْ شُئُونَهُمْ ، وَ تُبْ عَلَيْهِمْ ،
Surely Thou art Ever-turning, All-compassionate and the Best of forgivers, إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ ، وَ خَيْرُ الْغَافِرِينَ ،
and place us with them in the Abode of Peace, through Thy mercy, وَ اجْعَلْنَا مَعَهُمْ فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ ،
O Most Merciful of the merciful! يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ .
66- O God, this is the Day of 'Arafa, 66. اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ
a day which Thou hast made noble, given honour, and magnified. يَوْمٌ شَرَّفْتَهُ وَ كَرَّمْتَهُ وَ عَظَّمْتَهُ ،
Within it Thou hast spread Thy mercy, showed kindness through Thy pardon, نَشَرْتَ فِيهِ رَحْمَتَكَ ، وَ مَنَنْتَ فِيهِ بِعَفْوِكَ ،
and made plentiful Thy giving, and by it Thou hast been bounteous toward Thy servants. وَ أَجْزَلْتَ فِيهِ عَطِيَّتَكَ ، وَ تَفَضَّلْتَ بِهِ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ .
67- I am Thy servant whom Thou favoured before creating him and after creating him. 67. اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ الَّذِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَبْلَ خَلْقِكَ لَهُ
Thou madest him one of those whom Thou guided to Thy religion, وَ بَعْدَ خَلْقِكَ إِيَّاهُ ، فَجَعَلْتَهُ مِمَّنْ هَدَيْتَهُ لِدِينِكَ ،
gavest success in fulfilling Thy right, preserved through Thy cord, وَ وَفَّقْتَهُ لِحَقِّكَ ، وَ عَصَمْتَهُ بِحَبْلِكَ ،
included within Thy party, وَ أَدْخَلْتَهُ فِي حِزْبِكَ ،
and directed aright to befriend Thy friends and show enmity to Thine enemies. وَ أَرْشَدْتَهُ لِمُوَالَاةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ ، وَ مُعَادَاةِ أَعْدَائِكَ .
68- Then Thou commanded him, but he did not follow Thy commands, 68. ثُمَّ أَمَرْتَهُ فَلَمْ يَأْتَمِرْ ،
Thou restricted Him, but he did not heed Thy restrictions, وَ زَجَرْتَهُ فَلَمْ يَنْزَجِرْ ،
Thou prohibited him from disobedience toward Thee, وَ نَهَيْتَهُ عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ ،
but he broke Thy command by doing what Thou hadst prohibited, فَخَالَفَ أَمْرَكَ إِلَى نَهْيِكَ ،
not in contention with Thee, nor to display pride toward Thee; لَا مُعَانَدَةً لَكَ ، وَ لَا اسْتِكْبَاراً عَلَيْكَ ،
on the contrary, his caprice called him بَلْ دَعَاهُ هَوَاهُ
to that which Thou hadst set apart and cautioned against, إِلَى مَا زَيَّلْتَهُ وَ إِلَى مَا حَذَّرْتَهُ ،
and he was helped in that by Thy enemy and his enemy. وَ أَعَانَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عَدُوُّكَ وَ عَدُوُّهُ ،
So he went ahead with it knowing Thy threat, فَأَقْدَمَ عَلَيْهِ عَارِفاً بِوَعِيدِكَ ،
hoping for Thy pardon, رَاجِياً لِعَفْوِكَ ،
and relying upon Thy forbearance, وَاثِقاً بِتَجَاوُزِكَ ،
though he was the most obligated of Thy servants - given Thy kindness toward him - not to do so. وَ كَانَ أَحَقَّ عِبَادِكَ مَعَ مَا مَنَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَلَّا يَفْعَلَ .
69- Here I am, then, before Thee, 69. وَ هَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ
despised, lowly, humble, abject, fearful, صَاغِراً ذَلِيلًا خَاضِعاً خَاشِعاً خَائِفاً ،
confessing the dreadful sins with which I am burdened مُعْتَرِفاً بِعَظِيمٍ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ تَحَمَّلْتُهُ ،
and the great offenses that I have committed, وَ جَلِيلٍ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا اجْتَرَمْتُهُ ،
seeking sanctuary in Thy forgiveness, مُسْتَجِيراً بِصَفْحِكَ ،
asking shelter in Thy mercy, لَائِذاً بِرَحْمَتِكَ ،
and certain that no sanctuary-giver will give me sanctuary from Thee مُوقِناً أَنَّهُ لَا يُجِيرُنِي مِنْكَ مُجِيرٌ ،
and no withholder will hold me back from Thee. وَ لَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ مَانِعٌ .
70- So act kindly toward me, just as Thou actest kindly 70. فَعُدْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا تَعُودُ بِهِ عَلَى
by Thy shielding him who commits sins, مَنِ اقْتَرَفَ مِنْ تَغَمُّدِكَ ،
be munificent toward me, just as Thou art munificent وَ جُدْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا تَجُودُ بِهِ عَلَى
by pardoning him who throws himself before Thee, مَنْ أَلْقَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ عَفْوِكَ ،
and show kindness to me, just as it is nothing great for Thee to show kindness وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا لَا يَتَعَاظَمُكَ أَنْ تَمُنَّ بِهِ
by forgiving him who expectantly hopes in Thee! عَلَى مَنْ أَمَّلَكَ مِنْ غُفْرَانِكَ ،
71- Appoint for me in this day an allotment through which I may attain 71. وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ نَصِيباً
a share of Thy good pleasure, أَنَالُ بِهِ حَظّاً مِنْ رِضْوَانِكَ ،
and send me not back destitute وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي صِفْراً
of that with which Thy worshipers return from among Thy servants! مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُ بِهِ الْمُتَعَبِّدُونَ لَكَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ
72- Though I have not forwarded 72. وَ إِنِّي وَ إِنْ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ
the righteous deeds which they have forwarded, مَا قَدَّمُوهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ
I have forwarded the profession of Thy Unity فَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ تَوْحِيدَكَ
and the negation from Thee of opposites, rivals, and likenesses, وَ نَفْيَ الْأَضْدَادِ وَ الْأَنْدَادِ وَ الْأَشْبَاهِ عَنْكَ ،
I have come to Thee by the gateways وَ أَتَيْتُكَ مِنَ الْأَبْوَابِ
by which Thou hast commanded that people come, الَّتِي أَمَرْتَ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مِنْهَا ،
and I have sought nearness to Thee through that without seeking nearness through which none gains nearness to Thee. وَ تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِمَا لَا يَقْرُبُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكَ إِلَّا بالتَّقَرُّبِ بِهِ .
73- Then I followed all this with repeated turning toward Thee, 73. ثُمَّ أَتْبَعْتُ ذَلِكَ بِالْإِنَابَةِ إِلَيْكَ ،
lowliness and abasement before Thee, وَ التَّذَلُّلِ وَ الِاسْتِكَانَةِ لَكَ ،
good opinion of Thee, وَ حُسْنِ الظَّنِّ بِكَ ،
and trust in what is with Thee; وَ الثِّقَةِ بِمَا عِنْدَكَ ،
and to that I coupled hope in Thee, وَ شَفَعْتُهُ بِرَجَائِكَ
since the one who hopes in Thee is seldom disappointed! الَّذِي قَلَّ مَا يَخِيبُ عَلَيْهِ رَاجِيكَ .
74- I asked Thee with the asking of one vile, lowly, 74. وَ سَأَلْتُكَ مَسْأَلَةَ الْحَقِيرِ الذَّلِيلِ
pitiful, poor, fearful, seeking sanctuary; الْبَائِسِ الْفَقِيرِ الْخَائِفِ الْمُسْتَجِيرِ ،
all that in fear and pleading وَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ خِيفَةً وَ تَضَرُّعاً
seeking refuge and asking shelter, وَ تَعَوُّذاً وَ تَلَوُّذاً ،
not presumptuous through the pride of the proud, لَا مُسْتَطِيلًا بِتَكَبُّرِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ،
nor exalting myself with the boldness of the obedient, وَ لَا مُتَعَالِياً بِدَالَّةِ الْمُطِيعِينَ ،
nor presumptuous of the intercession of the interceders. وَ لَا مُسْتَطِيلًا بِشَفَاعَةِ الشَّافِعِينَ .
75- For I am still the least of the least 75. وَ أَنَا بَعْدُ أَقَلُّ الْأَقَلِّينَ ،
and the lowliest of the lowly, وَ أَذَلُّ الْأَذَلِّينَ ،
like a dust mote or less! وَ مِثْلُ الذَّرَّةِ أَوْ دُونَهَا ،
O He who does not hurry the evildoers فَيَا مَنْ لَمْ يُعَاجِلِ الْمُسِيئِينَ ،
nor restrain those living in ease! وَ لَا يَنْدَهُ الْمُتْرَفِينَ ،
O He who shows kindness through releasing the stumblers وَ يَا مَنْ يَمُنُّ بِإِقَالَةِ الْعَاثِرِينَ ،
and gratuitous bounty through respiting the offenders! وَ يَتَفَضَّلُ بِإِنْظَارِ الْخَاطِئِينَ .
76- I am the evildoer, the confessor, the offender, the stumbler! 76. أَنَا الْمُسِي‏ءُ الْمُعْتَرِفُ الْخَاطِئُ الْعَاثِرُ .
77- I am he who was audacious toward Thee as one insolent! 77. أَنَا الَّذِي أَقْدَمَ عَلَيْكَ مُجْتَرِئاً .
78- I am he who disobeyed Thee with forethought! 78. أَنَا الَّذِي عَصَاكَ مُتَعَمِّداً .
79- I am he who hid myself from Thy servants and blatantly showed myself to Thee! 79. أَنَا الَّذِي اسْتَخْفَى مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ بَارَزَكَ .
80- I am he who was awed by Thy servants and felt secure from Thee! 80. أَنَا الَّذِي هَابَ عِبَادَكَ وَ أَمِنَكَ .
81- I am he who dreaded not Thy penalty and feared not Thy severity! 81. أَنَا الَّذِي لَمْ يَرْهَبْ سَطْوَتَكَ ، وَ لَمْ يَخَفْ بَأْسَكَ .
82- I am the offender against himself! 82. أَنَا الْجَانِي عَلَى نَفْسِهِ
83- I am the hostage to his own affliction! 83. أَنَا الْمُرْتَهَنُ بِبَلِيَّتِهِ .
84- I am short in shame! 84. أَنَا القَلِيلُ الْحَيَاءِ .
85- I am long in suffering! 85. أَنَا الطَّوِيلُ الْعَنَاءِ .
86- By the right of him whom Thou hast distinguished among Thy creation 86. بِحَقِّ مَنِ انْتَجَبْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ،
and by him whom Thou hast chosen for Thyself! وَ بِمَنِ اصْطَفَيْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ ،
By the right of him whom Thou hast selected from among Thy creatures بِحَقِّ مَنِ اخْتَرْتَ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ ،
and by him whom Thou hast picked for Thy task! وَ مَنِ اجْتَبَيْتَ لِشَأْنِكَ ،
By the right of him the obeying of whom Thou hast joined to obeying Thee, بِحَقِّ مَنْ وَصَلْتَ طَاعَتَهُ بِطَاعَتِكَ ،
and by him the disobeying of whom Thou hast made like disobeying Thee! وَ مَنْ جَعَلْتَ مَعْصِيَتَهُ كَمَعْصِيَتِكَ ،
And by the right of him whose friendship Thou hast bound to Thy friendship بِحَقِّ مَنْ قَرَنْتَ مُوَالَاتَهُ بِمُوَالَاتِكَ ،
and by him whose enmity Thou hast linked to Thine enmity! وَ مَنْ نُطْتَ مُعَادَاتَهُ بِمُعَادَاتِكَ ،
Shield me in this day of mine, تَغَمَّدْنِي فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا
by that through which Thou shieldest بِمَا تَتَغَمَّدُ بِهِ
him who prays fervently to Thee while disavowing مَنْ جَارَ إِلَيْكَ مُتَنَصِّلًا ،
and him who seeks refuge in Thy forgiveness while repenting! وَ عَاذَ بِاسْتِغْفَارِكَ تَائِباً .
87- Attend to me with that through which Thou attendest to the people of 87. وَ تَوَلَّنِي بِمَا تَتَوَلَّى بِهِ
obedience toward Thee, proximity to Thee, أَهْلَ طَاعَتِكَ وَ الزُّلْفَى لَدَيْكَ
and rank with Thee! وَ الْمَكَانَةِ مِنْكَ .
88. Single me out, as Thou singlest him out 88. وَ تَوَحَّدْنِي بِمَا تَتَوَحَّدُ بِهِ
who fulfils Thy covenant, مَنْ وَفَى بِعَهْدِكَ ،
fatigues himself for Thy sake alone, وَ أَتْعَبَ نَفْسَهُ فِي ذَاتِكَ ،
and exerts himself in Thy good pleasure! وَ أَجْهَدَهَا فِي مَرْضَاتِكَ .
89- Take me not to task for my neglect in respect to Thee, 89. وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِتَفْرِيطِي فِي جَنْبِكَ ،
my transgressing the limit in Thy bounds, وَ تَعَدِّي طَوْرِي فِي حُدُودِكَ ،
and stepping outside Thy ordinances! وَ مُجَاوَزَةِ أَحْكَامِكَ .
90- Draw me not on little by little by granting me a respite, 90. وَ لَا تَسْتَدْرِجْنِي بِإِمْلَائِكَ لِي
like the drawing on little by little of him who withholds from me the good he has اسْتِدْرَاجَ مَنْ مَنَعَنِي خَيْرَ مَا عِنْدَهُ
by not sharing with Thee in letting favour down upon me! وَ لَمْ يَشْرَكْكَ فِي حُلُولِ نِعْمَتِهِ بِي .
91- Arouse me from the sleep of the heedless, 91. وَ نَبِّهْنِي مِنْ رَقْدَةِ الْغَافِلِينَ ،
the slumber of the prodigal, وَ سِنَةِ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ،
and the dozing of the forsaken! وَ نَعْسَةِ الْمَخْذُولِينَ
92- Take my heart to that in which Thou hast 92. وَ خُذْ بِقَلْبِي إِلَى مَا اسْتَعْمَلْتَ بِهِ الْقَانِتِينَ ،
employed the devout, وَ اسْتَعْبَدْتَ بِهِ الْمُتَعَبِّدِينَ ،
enthralled the worshipers, and rescued the remiss! وَ اسْتَنْقَذْتَ بِهِ الْمُتَهَاوِنِينَ .
93- Give me refuge from that which will keep me far from Thee, 93. وَ أَعِذْنِي مِمَّا يُبَاعِدُنِي عَنْكَ ،
come between me and my share from Thee, وَ يَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ حَظِّي مِنْكَ ،
and bar me from that which I strive for in Thee! وَ يَصُدُّنِي عَمَّا أُحَاوِلُ لَدَيْكَ
94- Make easy for me the road of good deeds toward Thee, 94. وَ سَهِّلْ لِي مَسْلَكَ الْخَيْرَاتِ إِلَيْكَ ،
racing to them from where Thou hast commanded, وَ الْمُسَابَقَةَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرْتَ ،
and coveting them as Thou desirest! وَ الْمُشَاحَّةَ فِيهَا عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتَ .
95- Efface me not along with those whom Thou effacest for thinking lightly of what Thou hast promised! 95. وَ لَا تَمْحَقْنِي فِيمَن تَمْحَقُ مِنَ الْمُسْتَخِفِّينَ بِمَا أَوْعَدْتَ
96- Destroy me not with those whom Thou destroyest for exposing themselves to Thy hate! 96. وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي مَعَ مَنْ تُهْلِكُ مِنَ الْمُتَعَرِّضِينَ لِمَقْتِكَ
97- Annihilate me not among those whom Thou annihilatest for deviating from Thy roads! 97. وَ لَا تُتَبِّرْنِي فِيمَنْ تُتَبِّرُ مِنَ الْمُنْحَرِفِينَ عَنْ سُبُلِكَ
98- Deliver me from the floods of trial, 98. وَ نَجِّنِي مِنْ غَمَرَاتِ الْفِتْنَةِ ،
save me from the gullets of affliction, وَ خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ لَهَوَاتِ الْبَلْوَى ،
and grant me sanctuary from being seized by respite! وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنْ أَخْذِ الْإِمْلَاءِ .
99- Come between me and the enemy who misguides me, 99. وَ حُلْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ عَدُوٍّ يُضِلُّنِي ،
the caprice which ruins me, وَ هَوًى يُوبِقُنِي ،
and the failing which overcomes me! وَ مَنْقَصَةٍ تَرْهَقُنِي
100- Turn not away from me 100. وَ لَا تُعْرِضْ عَنِّي
with the turning away in wrath إِعْرَاضَ مَنْ لَا تَرْضَى عَنْهُ بَعْدَ غَضَبِكَ
101- Let me not lose heart in expecting from Thee, 101. وَ لَا تُؤْيِسْنِي مِنَ الْأَمَلِ فِيكَ
lest I be overcome by despair of Thy mercy! فَيَغْلِبَ عَلَيَّ الْقُنُوطُ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ
102- Grant me not that which I cannot endure, lest Thou weighest me down 102. وَ لَا تَمْنَحْنِي بِمَا لَا طَاقَةَ لِي بِهِ
with the surplus of Thy love which Thou loadest upon me! فَتَبْهَظَنِي مِمَّا تُحَمِّلُنِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلِ مَحَبَّتِكَ .
103- Send me not from Thy hand, the sending of him who possesses no good, 103. وَ لَا تُرْسِلْنِي مِنْ يَدِكَ إِرْسَالَ مَنْ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ ،
toward whom Thou hast no need, وَ لَا حَاجَةَ بِكَ إِلَيْهِ ،
and who turns not back [to Thee]! وَ لَا إِنَابَةَ لَهُ
104- Cast me not with the casting of him who has fallen from the eye of Thy regard 104. وَ لَا تَرْمِ بِي رَمْيَ مَنْ سَقَطَ مِنْ عَيْنِ رِعَايَتِكَ ،
and been wrapped in degradation from Thee! وَ مَنِ اشْتَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْخِزْيُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ ،
Rather take my hand [and save me] from the falling of the stumblers, بَلْ خُذْ بِيَدِي مِنْ سَقْطَةِ الْمُتَرَدِّينَ ،
the disquiet of the deviators, the slip of those deluded, وَ وَهْلَةِ الْمُتَعَسِّفِينَ ، وَ زَلَّةِ الْمَغْرُورِينَ ،
and the plight of the perishers! وَ وَرْطَةِ الْهَالِكِينَ .
105- Release me from that with which Thou hast afflicted the ranks of Thy servants and handmaids 105. وَ عَافِنِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَيْتَ بِهِ طَبَقَاتِ عَبِيدِكَ وَ إِمَائِكَ ،
and make me reach the utmost degrees of him about whom Thou art concerned, وَ بَلِّغْنِي مَبَالِغَ مَنْ عُنِيتَ بِهِ ،
towards whom Thou showest favour, and with whom Thou art pleased, وَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُ ،
so that Thou lettest him live as one praiseworthy and takest him to Thee as one felicitous! فَأَعَشْتَهُ حَمِيداً ، وَ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ سَعِيداً
106- Collar me with the collar of abstaining from that which 106. وَ طَوِّقْنِي طَوْقَ الْإِقْلَاعِ
makes good deeds fail عَمَّا يُحْبِطُ الْحَسَنَاتِ ،
and takes away blessings! وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْبَرَكَاتِ
107- Impart to my heart restraint before ugly works of evil 107. وَ أَشْعِرْ قَلْبِيَ الِازْدِجَارَ عَنْ قَبَائِحِ السَّيِّئَاتِ ،
and disgraceful misdeeds! وَ فَوَاضِحِ الْحَوْبَاتِ .
108- Divert me not 108. وَ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي
by that which I cannot reach except through Thee from doing that which alone makes Thee pleased with me! بِمَا لَا أُدْرِكُهُ إِلَّا بِكَ عَمَّا لَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي غَيْرُهُ
109- Root out from my heart the love of this vile world, 109. وَ انْزِعْ مِنْ قَلْبِي حُبَّ دُنْيَا دَنِيَّةٍ
which keeps from everything which is with Thee, تَنْهَى عَمَّا عِنْدَكَ ،
bars from seeking the mediation to Thee, وَ تَصُدُّ عَنِ ابْتِغَاءِ الْوَسِيلَةِ إِلَيْكَ ،
and distracts from striving for nearness to Thee! وَ تُذْهِلُ عَنِ التَّقَرُّبِ مِنْكَ .
110- Embellish for me solitude 110. وَ زَيِّنْ لِيَ التَّفَرُّدَ
in prayer whispered to Thee by night and by day! بِمُنَاجَاتِكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ
111- Give me a preservation which will bring me close to dread of Thee, 111. وَ هَبْ لِي عِصْمَةً تُدْنِينِي مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ ،
cut me off from committing things made unlawful by Thee, وَ تَقْطَعُنِي عَنْ رُكُوبِ مَحَارِمِكَ ،
and spare me from captivation by dreadful sins! وَ تَفُكَّنِي مِنْ أَسْرِ الْعَظَائِمِ .
112- Give me purification from the defilement of disobedience, 112. وَ هَبْ لِيَ التَّطْهِيرَ مِنْ دَنَسِ الْعِصْيَانِ ،
take away from me the filth of offenses, وَ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي دَرَنَ الْخَطَايَا ،
dress me in the dress of Thy well-being, وَ سَرْبِلْنِي بِسِرْبَالِ عَافِيَتِكَ ،
cloak me in the cloak of Thy release, وَ رَدِّنِي رِدَاءَ مُعَافَاتِكَ ،
wrap me in Thy ample favours, وَ جَلِّلْنِي سَوَابِغَ نَعْمَائِكَ ،
and clothe me in Thy bounty and Thy graciousness! وَ ظَاهِرْ لَدَيَّ فَضْلَكَ وَ طَوْلَكَ
113- Strengthen me with Thy giving success 113. وَ أَيِّدْنِي بِتَوْفِيقِكَ وَ تَسْدِيدِكَ ،
and Thy pointing the right way, وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى صَالِحِ النِّيَّةِ ،
help me toward righteous intention, pleasing words, and approved works, وَ مَرْضِيِّ الْقَوْلِ ، وَ مُسْتَحْسَنِ الْعَمَلِ ،
and entrust me not to my force and my strength in place of Thy force and Thy strength! وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى حَوْلِي وَ قُوَّتِي دُونَ حَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ .
114- Degrade me not on the day Thou raisest me up to meet Thee, 114. وَ لَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُنِي لِلِقَائِكَ ،
disgrace me not before Thy friends, وَ لَا تَفْضَحْنِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ ،
make me not forget remembering Thee, وَ لَا تُنْسِنِي ذِكْرَكَ ،
take not away from me thanking Thee, وَ لَا تُذْهِبْ عَنِّي شُكْرَكَ ،
but enjoin it upon me in states of inattention when the ignorant are heedless of Thy boons, بَلْ أَلْزِمْنِيهِ فِي أَحْوَالِ السَّهْوِ عِنْدَ غَفَلَاتِ الْجَاهِلِينَ لِآلْائِكَ ،
and inspire me to laud what Thou hast done for me وَ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أُثْنِيَ بِمَا أَوْلَيْتَنِيهِ ،
and confess to what Thou hast conferred upon me! وَ أَعْتَرِفَ بِمَا أَسْدَيْتَهُ إِلَيَّ .
115- Place my beseeching Thee above the beseeching of the beseechers 115. وَ اجْعَلْ رَغْبَتِي إِلَيْكَ فَوْقَ رَغْبَةِ الرَّاغِبِينَ ،
and my praise of Thee above the praise of the praisers! وَ حَمْدِي إِيَّاكَ فَوْقَ حَمْدِ الْحَامِدِينَ
116- Abandon me not with my neediness for Thee, 116. وَ لَا تَخْذُلْنِي عِنْدَ فَاقَتِي إِلَيْكَ ،
destroy me not for what I have done for Thee, وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي بِمَا أَسْدَيْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ ،
and slap not my brow with that with which Thou slappest the brow of those who contend with Thee, وَ لَا تَجْبَهْنِي بِمَا جَبَهْتَ بِهِ الْمُعَانِدِينَ لَكَ ،
for I am submitted to Thee. فَإِنِّي لَكَ مُسَلِّمٌ ،
I know that the argument is Thine, أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْحُجَّةَ لَكَ ،
that Thou art closest to bounty, وَ أَنَّكَ أَوْلَى بِالْفَضْلِ ،
most accustomed to beneficence, وَ أَعْوَدُ بِالْإِحْسَانِ ،
worthy of reverent fear, and worthy of forgiveness, وَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى ، وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ ،
that Thou art closer to pardoning than to punishing, وَ أَنَّكَ بِأَنْ تَعْفُوَ أَوْلَى مِنْكَ بِأَنْ تُعَاقِبَ ،
and that Thou art nearer to covering over than to making notorious! وَ أَنَّكَ بِأَنْ تَسْتُرَ أَقْرَبُ مِنْكَ إِلَى أَنْ تَشْهَرَ .
117- Let me live an agreeable life 117. فَأَحْيِنِي حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً
that will tie together what I want تَنْتَظِمُ بِمَا أُرِيدُ ،
and reach what I love while I not bring what Thou dislikest وَ تَبْلُغُ مَا أُحِبُّ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا آتِي مَا تَكْرَهُ ،
and not commit what Thou hast prohibited; وَ لَا أَرْتَكِبُ مَا نَهَيْتَ عَنْهُ ،
and make me die the death of him وَ أَمِتْنِي مِيتَةَ مَنْ
whose light runs before him and on his right hand! يَسْعَى نُورُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ .
118- Abase me before Thyself 118. وَ ذَلِّلْنِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ ،
and exalt me before Thy creatures, وَ أَعِزَّنِي عِنْدَ خَلْقِكَ ،
lower me when I am alone with Thee وَ ضَعْنِي إِذَا خَلَوْتُ بِكَ ،
and raise me among Thy servants, وَ ارْفَعْنِي بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ ،
free me from need for him who has no need of me وَ أَغْنِنِي عَمَّنْ هُوَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِّي ،
and increase me in neediness and poverty toward Thee! وَ زِدْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَاقَةً وَ فَقْراً .
119- Give me refuge from the gloating of enemies, 119. وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ ،
the arrival of affliction, وَ مِنْ حُلُولِ الْبَلَاءِ ،
lowliness and suffering! وَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ الْعَنَاءِ ،
Shield me in what Thou seest from me, تَغَمَّدْنِي فِيمَا اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي
the shielding of him who would have power over violence had he no clemency, بِمَا يَتَغَمَّدُ بِهِ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى الْبَطْشِ لَوْ لَا حِلْمُهُ ،
and would seize for misdeeds had he no lack of haste! وَ الْآخِذُ عَلَى الْجَرِيرَةِ لَوْ لَا أَنَاتُهُ
120- When Thou desirest for a people a trial or an evil, 120. وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ بِقَوْمٍ فِتْنَةً أَوْ سُوءاً
deliver me from it, for I seek Thy shelter; فَنَجِّنِي مِنْهَا لِوَاذاً بِكَ ،
and since Thou hast not stood me in the station of disgrace in this world of Thine, وَ إِذْ لَمْ تُقِمْنِي مَقَامَ فَضِيحَةٍ فِي دُنْيَاكَ
stand me not in such a station in the next world of Thine! فَلَا تُقِمْنِي مِثْلَهُ فِي آخِرَتِكَ
121- Couple for me the beginnings of Thy kindnesses with their ends 121. وَ اشْفَعْ لِي أَوَائِلَ مِنَنِكَ بِأَوَاخِرِهَا ،
and the ancient of Thy benefits with the freshly risen! وَ قَدِيمَ فَوَائِدِكَ بِحَوَادِثِهَا ،
Prolong not my term with a prolonging through which my heart will harden! وَ لَا تَمْدُدْ لِي مَدّاً يَقْسُو مَعَهُ قَلْبِي ،
Strike me not with a striking that will take away my radiance! وَ لَا تَقْرَعْنِي قَارِعَةً يَذْهَبُ لَهَا بَهَائِي ،
Visit me not with a meanness that will diminish my worth وَ لَا تَسُمْنِي خَسِيسَةً يَصْغُرُ لَهَا قَدْرِي
or a deficiency that will keep my rank unknown! وَ لَا نَقِيصَةً يُجْهَلُ مِنْ أَجْلِهَا مَكَانِي .
122- Frighten me not with a fright by which I will despair 122. وَ لَا تَرُعْنِي رَوْعَةً أُبْلِسُ بِهَا ،
or a terror through which I will dread, وَ لَا خِيفَةً أُوجِسُ دُونَهَا ،
but make me stand in awe of Thy threat, اجْعَلْ هَيْبَتِي فِي وَعِيدِكَ ،
take precautions against Thy leaving no excuses and Thy warning, وَ حَذَرِي مِنْ إِعْذَارِكَ وَ إِنْذَارِكَ ،
and tremble at the recitation of Thy verses! وَ رَهْبَتِي عِنْد تِلَاوَةِ آيَاتِكَ .
123- Fill my night with life by keeping me awake therein for worshipping Thee, 123. وَ اعْمُرْ لَيْلِي بِإِيقَاظِي فِيهِ لِعِبَادَتِكَ ،
solitude with vigil for Thee, وَ تَفَرُّدِي بِالتَّهَجُّدِ لَكَ ،
exclusive devotion to reliance upon Thee, وَ تَجَرُّدِي بِسُكُونِي إِلَيْكَ ،
setting my needs before Thee, وَ إِنْزَالِ حَوَائِجِي بِكَ ،
and imploring that Thou wilt set my neck free from the Fire وَ مُنَازَلَتِي إِيَّاكَ فِي فَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِي مِنْ نَارِكَ ،
and grant me sanctuary from Thy chastisement, within which its inhabitants dwell! وَ إِجَارَتِي مِمَّا فِيهِ أَهْلُهَا مِنْ عَذَابِكَ .
124- Leave me not blindly wandering in my insolence 124. وَ لَا تَذَرْنِي فِي طُغْيَانِي عَامِهاً ،
or inattentive in my perplexity for a time, وَ لَا فِي غَمْرَتِي سَاهِياً حَتَّى حِينٍ ،
make me not an admonition to him who takes admonishment, وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي عِظَةً لِمَنِ اتَّعَظَ ،
a punishment exemplary for him who takes heed, وَ لَا نَكَالًا لِمَنِ اعْتَبَرَ ،
a trial for him who observes, وَ لَا فِتْنَةً لِمَنْ نَظَرَ ،
devise not against me along with those against whom Thou devisest, وَ لَا تَمْكُرْ بِي فِيمَنْ تَمْكُرُ بِهِ ،
replace me not with another, وَ لَا تَسْتَبْدِلْ بِي غَيْرِي ،
change not my name, وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ لِي اسْماً ،
transform not my body, وَ لَا تُبَدِّلْ لِي جِسْماً ،
appoint me not a mockery for Thy creatures, وَ لَا تَتَّخِذْنِي هُزُواً لِخَلْقِكَ ،
a laughing-stock for Thyself, وَ لَا سُخْرِيّاً لَكَ ،
a follower of anything but Thy good pleasure, وَ لَا تَبَعاً إِلَّا لِمَرْضَاتِكَ ،
a menial servant for anything but avenging Thee! وَ لَا مُمْتَهَناً إِلَّا بِالِانْتِقَامِ لَكَ
125- Let me find the coolness of Thy pardon and the sweetness of Thy mercy, 125. وَ أَوْجِدْنِي بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ ، وَ حَلَاوَةَ رَحْمَتِكَ
Thy repose, Thy ease, and the garden of Thy bliss! وَ رَوْحِكَ وَ رَيْحَانِكَ ، وَ جَنَّةِ نَعِيمِكَ ،
Let me taste, through some of Thy boundless plenty, the flavour of being free for what Thou lovest وَ أَذِقْنِي طَعْمَ الْفَرَاغِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ بِسَعَةٍ مِنْ سَعَتِكَ ،
and striving in what brings about proximity وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ فِيمَا يُزْلِفُ
with Thee and to Thee, لَدَيْكَ وَ عِنْدَكَ ،
and give me a gift from among Thy gifts! وَ أَتْحِفْنِي بِتُحْفَةٍ مِنْ تُحَفَاتِكَ .
126- Make my commerce profitable 126. وَ اجْعَلْ تِجَارَتِي رَابِحَةً ،
and my return without loss, وَ كَرَّتِي غَيْرَ خَاسِرَةٍ ،
fill me with fear of Thy station, وَ أَخِفْنِي مَقَامَكَ ،
make me yearn for the meeting with Thee, وَ شَوِّقْنِي لِقَاءَكَ ،
and allow me to repent with an unswerving repentance وَ تُبْ عَلَيَّ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً
along with which Thou lettest no sins remain, لَا تُبْقِ مَعَهَا ذُنُوباً صَغِيرَةً وَ لَا كَبِيرَةً ،
small or large, and leavest no wrongs, open or secret! وَ لَا تَذَرْ مَعَهَا عَلَانِيَةً وَ لَا سَرِيرَةً .
127- Root out rancour toward the faithful from my breast, 127. وَ انْزِعِ الْغِلَّ مِنْ صَدْرِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ،
bend my heart toward the humble, وَ اعْطِفْ بِقَلْبِي عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ ،
be toward me as Thou art toward the righteous, وَ كُنْ لِي كَمَا تَكُونُ لِلصَّالِحِينَ ،
adorn me with the adornment of the godfearing, وَ حَلِّنِي حِلْيَةَ الْمُتَّقِينَ ،
appoint for me a goodly report among those yet to come وَ اجْعَلْ لِي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ ،
and a growing remembrance among the later folk, وَ ذِكْراً نَامِياً فِي الْآخِرِينَ ،
and take me to the plain of those who came first! وَ وَافِ بِي عَرْصَةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ .
128- Complete the lavishness of Thy favour upon me, 128. وَ تَمِّمْ سُبُوغَ نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ ،
clothe me in its repeated generosities, وَ ظَاهِرْ كَرَامَاتِهَا لَدَيَّ ،
fill my hand with Thy benefits, امْلَأْ مِنْ فَوَائِدِكَ يَدِي ،
drive Thy generous gifts to me, وَ سُقْ كَرَائِمَ مَوَاهِبِكَ إِلَيَّ ،
make me the neighbour of the best of Thy friends وَ جَاوِرْ بِيَ الْأَطْيَبِينَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ
in the Gardens which Thou hast adorned for Thy chosen, فِي الْجِنَانِ الَّتِي زَيَّنْتَهَا لِأَصْفِيَائِكَ ،
and wrap me in Thy noble presents in the stations prepared for Thy beloveds! وَ جَلِّلْنِي شَرَائِفَ نِحَلِكَ فِي الْمَقَامَاتِ الْمُعَدَّةِ لِأَحِبَّائِكَ .
129- Appoint for me a resting place with Thee 129. وَ اجْعَلْ لِي عِنْدَكَ مَقِيلًا
where I may seek haven in serenity, and a resort to which I may revert آوِي إِلَيْهِ مُطْمَئِنّاً ، وَ مَثَابَةً أَتَبَوَّؤُهَا ،
and rest my eyes, weigh not against me my dreadful misdeeds, وَ أَقَرُّ عَيْناً ، وَ لَا تُقَايِسْنِي بِعَظِيمَاتِ الْجَرَائِرِ ،
destroy me not on the day the secrets are tried, وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ،
eliminate from me every doubt and uncertainty, وَ أَزِلْ عَنِّي كُلَّ شَكٍّ وَ شُبْهَةٍ ،
appoint for me a way in the truth from every mercy, وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي الْحَقِّ طَرِيقاً مِنْ كُلِّ رَحْمَةٍ ،
make plentiful for me the portions of gifts from Thy granting of awards وَ أَجْزِلْ لِي قِسَمَ الْمَوَاهِبِ مِنْ نَوَالِكَ ،
and fill out for me the shares of beneficence from Thy bestowal of bounty! وَ وَفِّرْ عَلَيَّ حُظُوظَ الْإِحْسَانِ مِنْ إِفْضَالِكَ
130- Make my heart trust in what is with Thee 130. وَ اجْعَلْ قَلْبِي وَاثِقاً بِمَا عِنْدَكَ ،
and my concern free for what is Thine, وَ هَمِّي مُسْتَفْرَغاً لِمَا هُوَ لَكَ ،
employ me in that in which Thou employest Thy pure friends, وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِمَا تَسْتَعْمِلُ بِهِ خَالِصَتَكَ ،
drench my heart with Thy obedience when intellects are distracted, وَ أَشْرِبْ قَلْبِي عِنْدَ ذُهُولِ الْعُقُولِ طَاعَتَكَ ،
and combine within me independence, continence, ease, release, health, plenty, tranquillity, and well being! وَ اجْمَعْ لِيَ الْغِنَى وَ الْعَفَافَ وَ الدَّعَةَ وَ الْمُعَافَاةَ وَ الصِّحَّةَ وَ السَّعَةَ وَ الطُّمَأْنِينَةَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ .
131- Make not fail my good deeds 131. وَ لَا تُحْبِطْ حَسَنَاتِي
through my disobedience that stains them بِمَا يَشُوبُهَا مِنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ ،
or my private times of worship through the instigations of Thy trial! وَ لَا خَلَوَاتِي بِمَا يَعْرِضُ لِي مِنْ نَزَغَاتِ فِتْنَتِكَ ،
Safeguard my face from asking وَ صُنْ وَجْهِي عَنِ الطَّلَبِ إِلَى
from anyone in the world, أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ ،
and drive me far from begging for that which is with the ungodly! وَ ذُبَّنِي عَنِ الْتِمَاسِ مَا عِنْدَ الْفَاسِقِينَ .
132- Make me not an aid to the wrongdoers, 132. وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي لِلظَّالِمِينَ ظَهِيراً ،
nor their hand and helper in erasing Thy Book! وَ لَا لَهُمْ عَلَى مَحْوِ كِتَابِكَ يَداً وَ نَصِيراً ،
Defend me whence I know not with a defense through which Thou protectest me! وَ حُطْنِي مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَعْلَمُ حِيَاطَةً تَقِينِي بِهَا ،
Open toward me the gates of Thy repentance, Thy mercy, وَ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ تَوْبَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ
Thy clemency, and Thy boundless provision! وَ رَأْفَتِكَ وَ رِزْقِكَ الْوَاسِعِ ،
Surely I am one of those who beseech Thee! إِنِّي إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الرَّاغِبِينَ ،
And complete Thy favour toward me! وَ أَتْمِمْ لِي إِنْعَامَكَ ،
Surely Thou art the best of those who show favour! إِنَّكَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْعِمِينَ
133- Place the rest of my life in the hajj and the 'umra 133. وَ اجْعَلْ بَاقِيَ عُمُرِي فِي الْحَجِّ وَ الْعُمْرَةِ
seeking Thy face, ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِكَ ،
O Lord of the worlds! يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ ،
And may God bless Muhammad and his Household, the good, the pure, وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ ،
and peace be upon him and them always and forever![1] وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبَدَ الْآبِدِينَ .
