| 10) His Supplication in Seeking Asylum with God
|
(10) وَ كَانَ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي اللَّجَإِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
|
| In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
|
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ
|
| 1- O God, if Thou willest,
|
1. اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ تَشَأْ
|
| Thou wilt pardon us through Thy bounty
|
تَعْفُ عَنَّا فَبِفَضْلِكَ ،
|
| and if Thou willest, Thou wilt chastise us through Thy justice.
|
وَ إِنْ تَشَأْ تُعَذِّبْنَا فَبِعَدْلِكَ
|
| 2- So make our ways smooth to Thy pardon through Thy kindness
|
2. فَسَهِّلْ لَنَا عَفْوَكَ بِمَنِّكَ ،
|
| and grant us sanctuary from Thy chastisement through Thy forbearance,
|
وَ أَجِرْنَا مِنْ عَذَابِكَ بِتَجَاوُزِكَ ،
|
| for none of us has the endurance for Thy justice
|
فَإِنَّهُ لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِعَدْلِكَ ،
|
| and none of us can reach deliverance without Thy pardon!
|
وَ لَا نَجَاةَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَّا دُونَ عَفْوِكَ
|
| 3- O Richest of the rich!
|
3. يَا غَنِيَّ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ ،
|
| Here we are, Thy servants, before Thee.
|
هَا ، نَحْنُ عِبَادُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ ،
|
| I am the neediest of the needy toward Thee,
|
وَ أَنَا أَفْقَرُ الْفُقَرَاءِ إِلَيْكَ ،
|
| so redress our neediness through Thy plenty
|
فَاجْبُرْ فَاقَتَنَا بِوُسْعِكَ ،
|
| and cut us not off from our hopes through Thy withholding,
|
وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَاءَنَا بِمَنْعِكَ ،
|
| lest Thou makest wretched him who seeks felicity through Thee
|
فَتَكُونَ قَدْ أَشْقَيْتَ مَنِ اسْتَسْعَدَ بِكَ ،
|
| and deprivest him who seeks help from Thy bounty!
|
وَ حَرَمْتَ مَنِ اسْتَرْفَدَ فَضْلَكَ
|
| 4- Then to whom would we return after Thee?
|
4. فَإِلَى مَنْ حِينَئِذٍ مُنْقَلَبُنَا عَنْكَ ،
|
| Where would we go from Thy gate?
|
وَ إِلَى أَيْنَ مَذْهَبُنَا عَنْ بَابِكَ ،
|
| Glory be to Thee! We are the distressed,
|
سُبْحَانَكَ نَحْنُ الْمُضْطَرُّونَ
|
| the response to whom Thou hast made incumbent,
|
الَّذِينَ أَوْجَبْتَ إِجَابَتَهُمْ ،
|
| the people from whom Thou hast promised to remove the evil.
|
وَ أَهْلُ السُّوءِ الَّذِينَ وَعَدْتَ الْكَشْفَ عَنْهُمْ
|
| 5- That thing most resembling Thy will
|
5. وَ أَشْبَهُ الْأَشْيَاءِ بِمَشِيَّتِكَ ،
|
| and that affair most worthy for Thee in Thy mightiness
|
وَ أَوْلَى الْأُمُورِ بِكَ فِي عَظَمَتِكَ
|
| is showing mercy to him who asks Thee for mercy
|
رَحْمَةُ مَنِ اسْتَرْحَمَكَ ،
|
| and helping him who seeks help from Thee.
|
وَ غَوْثُ مَنِ اسْتَغَاثَ بِكَ ،
|
| So show mercy upon our pleading with Thee
|
فَارْحَمْ تَضَرُّعَنَا إِلَيْكَ ،
|
| and free us from need when we throw ourselves before Thee!
|
وَ أَغْنِنَا إِذْ طَرَحْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ .
|
| 6- O God, Satan will gloat over us
|
6. اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ شَمِتَ بِنَا
|
| if we follow him in disobeying Thee,
|
إِذْ شَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ ،
|
| so bless Muhammad and his Household
|
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ،
|
| and let him not gloat over us after we have renounced him for Thee
|
وَ لَا تُشْمِتْهُ بِنَا بَعْدَ تَرْكِنَا إِيَّاهُ لَكَ ،
|
| and beseeched Thee against him![1]
|
وَ رَغْبَتِنَا عَنْهُ إِلَيْكَ .
