Sol 5.6

  1. My God is Allah; I lament the sickness of my heart and frame,

    and every ailment and affliction within them.

  2. I have severed my hope from all created beings,

    even one who is loving, close, and companionable.

  3. For they possess neither might nor strength, nor

    any benefit for themselves, nor power to repel what inspires dread.

  4. My God is Allah, my Lord; I complain of what has befallen me,

    of what has come upon me, or of the perils I fear.

  5. My God—my King, Creator, and Provider—is He through whom

    what I dread is repelled and cherished desires are attained.

  6. So, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, O Lord of lofty glories,

    abundant in gifts of every cherished kind:

  7. graciously grant forgiveness for every sin,

    and set my heart aright, together with all my needs.

  8. And seal my life with goodness from You, as grace and favor

    upon Your sinning servant, so full of faults.

  9. Where, my God, but in Your bounty is there refuge?

    I have none but You, O lavish Giver of gifts.

  10. O Lord, O All-Merciful, I have no recourse;

    O Lord, Possessor of beneficence, my paths have narrowed.

  11. So set all my affairs aright in every sphere,

    and be there for me, my God, when I am laid upon my side.

  12. I seek refuge in the Face of God from everything I fear,

    and in His beneficence, from every evil and calamity.

  13. I ask You, my Lord, for myself and all my kin,

    for our loved ones and for Muslims outside our kin.

  14. And I seek Almighty God’s forgiveness as many times as all that

    our Lord has created in the East and in the western lands.

  15. O Lord, bless and then grant peace upon the one whom

    You sent to us, of the line of Lu’ayy son of Ghalib,

  16. and upon his Companions, the Family, and the Followers, whenever

    a solitary person draws breath among the mounts.

  17. To God, my Lord, belong all praise, thanks, and laudation

    for blessings no reckoner’s count could ever number.
