صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ…
Send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household…
يَا إِلٰهِي وَسَيِّدِي
O My God and Master,
مَنْ تَهَيَّأَ أَوْ تَعَّبَأَ
whilst one prepares oneself, sets up,
أَوْ أَعَدَّ أَوِ ٱسْتَعَدَّ
arranges, or gets ready
لِوِفَادَةِ مَخْلُوقٍ
for visiting a mortal
رَجَاءَ رِفْدِهِ وَفَوَائِدِهِ
in the hope of attaining a gift, interests,
وَنَائِلِهِ وَفَوَاضِلِهِ وَجَوَائِزِهِ
a souvenir, bequests, or presents from him,
فَإلَيْكَ يَا إِلٰهِي كَانَتْ َتَهْيِئَتِي وَتَعْبِئَتِي
to You, O my God, have I prepared myself, set up,
وَإِعْدَادِي وَٱسْتِعْدَادِي
arranged and got ready
رَجَاءَ فَوَائِدِكَ وَمَعْرُوفِكَ
in the hope of attaining Your interests, favors,
وَنَائِلِكَ وَجَوَائِزِكَ
souvenirs, and presents.
فَلاَ تُخَيِّبْنِي مِنْ ذٰلِكَ
Hence, (please) do not disappoint me of all these.
يَا مَنْ لاَ تَخِيبُ عَلَيْهِ مَسْأَلَةُ ٱلسَّائِلِ
O You with Whom no asker is disappointed
وَلاَ تَنْقُصُهُ عَطِيَّةُ نَائِلٍ
and no present of an earner causes You reduction.
فَإنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ بعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ قَدَّمْتُهُ
In fact, I have not come to You with a righteous deed that I have done
وَلاَ شَفَاعَةِ مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَوْتُهُ
nor with an intercession of a creature that I hope
أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِ
to seek Your nearness through him
إِلاَّ مُحَمَّداً وَأَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ
save Muhammad and his Household,
صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ
Your blessings be upon him and them.
أَتَيْتُكَ أَرْجُو عَظِيمَ عَفْوِكَ
I am coming to You hoping for Your munificent amnesty
ٱلَّذِي عُدْتَ بِهِ عَلَىٰ ٱلْخَطَّائِينَ
that You have conferred upon the sinners
عِنْدَ عُكُوفِهِمْ عَلَىٰ ٱلَْمحَارِمِ
who confined themselves to the commitment to forbidden acts;
فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ طُولُ عُكُوفِهِمْ عَلَىٰ ٱلْمَحَارِمِ
nevertheless, their long-lasting commitment to forbidden acts has not made You
أَنْ جُدْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
stop conferring upon them with Your forgiveness.
وَأَنْتَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْعَوَّادُ بِٱلنَّعْمَاءِ
You, O my Master, always confer upon me with Your graces
وَأَنَا ٱلْعَوَّادُ بِٱلْخَطَاءِ
while I always recommit sins.
أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ ٱلطَّاهِرِينَ
I thus ask You by the Right of Muhammad and his Household, the Immaculate,
أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِيَ ٱلْعَظيمَ
to forgive my grand sins,
فَإنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلْعَظِيمَ إِلاَّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
for none forgives the grand sins but the All-great.
يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ
O All-great, O All-great, O All-great,
يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ
O All-great, O All-great, O All-great,
يَا عَظِيمُ
O All-great!
