His Supplication for Good Outcomes 1 O He remembering whom brings honour                     to those who remember!           O He thanking whom brings triumph                     to those who give thanks!           O He obeying whom brings deliverance                     to those who obey!           Bless Muhammad and his Household,           and divert our hearts through remembering Thee                     from every act of remembrance,           our tongues through thanking Thee                     from every act of thanksgiving,           our limbs through obeying Thee                     from every act of obedience! 2 If Thou hast ordained for us idleness from these occupations,           make it an idleness of safety, within which                     no ill consequence visits us                     or weariness overtakes us!           Then the writers of evil deeds may depart from us                     with a page empty of the mention of our evil deeds,           and the writers of good deeds may turn away from us                     happy with the good deeds of ours which they have written. 3 And when the days of our life have passed by,           the terms of our lifetimes have elapsed,           and Thy call, which must come and be answered,                     summons us forth,           then bless Muhammad and his Household           and make the outcome of what the writers of our works                     count against us                     an accepted repentance,                     which afterwards gave us no rest                               in a sin that we committed                               or an act of disobedience that we performed! 4           Remove not from us any covering                     with which Thou hast covered over the heads of the witnesses                     on the day when the records of Thy servants are tried! 5 Verily Thou art compassionate to him who supplicates Thee,           the responder to him who calls upon Thee!
