His Supplication in Asking for Water during a Drought
|
| 1 |
O God,
water us with rain,
unfold upon us Thy mercy
through Thy copious rain
from the driven clouds,
so that Thy goodly earth may grow
on all horizons! |
| 2 |
Show kindness to Thy servants
through the ripening of the fruit,
revive Thy land
through the blossoming of the flowers,
and let Thy angels - the
noble scribes - be witness
to a beneficial watering from Thee,
lasting in its abundance,
plenty in its flow,
heavy, quick, soon, |
| 3 |
through which Thou revivest what has vanished,
bringest forth what is coming,
and providest plentiful foods,
through heaped up, wholesome, productive clouds,
in reverberating layers,
the rain's downpour
not without cease,
the lightning's flashes
not without fruit! |
| 4 |
O God,
give us water
through rain,
helping, productive, fertilizing,
widespread, plentiful, abundant,
bringing back the risen,
restoring the broken! |
| 5 |
O God,
give us water with a watering
through which Thou wilt
make the stone hills pour,
fill the cisterns,
flood the rivers,
make the trees grow,
bring down prices in all the lands,
invigorate the beasts and the creatures,
perfect for us the agreeable things of provision,
make grow for us the fields,
let flow for us the teats,
and add for us strength to our strength! |
| 6 |
O God,
make not the cloud's shadow
over us a burning wind,
allow not its coldness to be
cutting,
let not its pouring down upon
us be a stoning,
and make not its waters for
us bitter! |
| 7 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his
Household
and provide us with the
blessings of the heavens and the earth!
Thou art powerful over
everything!97 |
