1. Al-Hashimi said Khawtahr
I asked the Lord of the forgiving heavens

2. To forgive my sins and burdens
Glory to Him, the One, the Veiled

3. We ask Him, we seek Him, to grant us strength
For He is the Giver, the Compeller

4. I have nothing but the profession of begging
An endless flow of generosity from Him

5. How much He gave, how generous He was, without limit or measure
How much He favoured and blessed

6. His disobedient, ungrateful servant
Glory to Him, I cannot enumerate

7. All the praise due to the Benevolent Subduer
O Lord, O Lord, O Knower of innermost hearts

8. Of the state of Your lost, confused servant
Take him by the hand to goodness

9. And protect him from evil and evildoers
For I have no door but Yours, O Lord

10. And You are enough for one in need
I have no power or strength

11. To repel harm or attract goodness
O my hope, my treasure

12. And my salvation in hard times
I truly hope that You grant me

13. That which no mind can encompass
Despite my many sins

14. And persistence in wrongdoing
By God, I do not despair of Your grace

15. How could I despair, and You are the Forgiver
Your abundant, freely given generosity

16. Encompasses the righteous and the sinners
So be generous to me purely out of generosity

17. And to my family, companions and in-laws
And those who love me for Your sake

18. And all Muslims in every land
As for my salvation through my deeds

19. That is impossible, without doubt
I seek God's forgiveness for my words

20. In prose, poetry and verse
And for my actions and intentions

21. For they are all burdens and sins
O Lord, let our ending be good

22. If our lifespans are nearing their end
We ask You for the Garden of Paradise

23. And salvation from the torment of Hell
And blessings upon the Guide

24. His family, companions and supporters
With perfect, enduring peace

25. For as long as birds sing in trees
And praise be to God

26. Our Creator, from the first to the last
