بِسْمِ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allāh, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ

I pray the forgiveness of Allah; there is no god save Him,

الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ

the Ever-living, the Self-Subsisting,

الرَّحْمٰنُ الرَّحِيمُ

the All-compassionate, the All-merciful,

ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

and the Lord of Majesty and Honor.

وَأَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيَّ

And I ask Him to accept my repentance,

تَوْبَةَ عَبْدٍ ذَلِيلٍ خَاضِعٍ

like His acceptance of the repentance of a slave who is submissive, acquiescent,

فَقِيرٍ بَائِسٍ

poor, miserable,

مِسْكِينٍ مُسْتَكِينٍ مُسْتَجِيرٍ

despondent, dejected, seeking refuge (with Him),

لَا يَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِهِ نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا

not controlling for himself any harm or profit,

وَلَا مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَاةً وَلَا نُشُورًا

and not controlling death nor life nor raising (the dead) to life.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ

O Allah, I surely seek Your protection against a self that never has enough,

وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ

a heart that does not feel apprehension,

وَمِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ

knowledge that does not avail,

وَمِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تُرْفَعُ

a prayer that is not accepted,

وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ

and a supplication that is not responded.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْيُسْرَ بَعْدَ الْعُسْرِ

O Allah, I surely beseech You for easiness after difficulty,

وَالْفَرَجَ بَعْدَ الْكَرْبِ

relief after misfortune,

وَالرَّخَاءَ بَعْدَ الشِّدَّةِ

and comfort after hardship.

اَللَّهُمَّ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ

O Allah, You are certainly the source of each and every favor that covers us.

لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

There is no god save You.

أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

I pray Your forgiveness and repent before You.
