Household
and prevent us from deviation
concerning Thy mightiness! |
| 2 |
O He the term of whose kingdom will never cease!
Bless Muhammad and his
Household
and release our necks from Thy
vengeance! |
| 3 |
O He the treasuries of whose mercy will never be
exhausted!
Bless Muhammad and his
Household
and appoint for us a portion
of Thy mercy! |
| 4 |
O He whom eyes fall short of seeing!
Bless Muhammad and his
Household
and bring us close to Thy
nearness! |
| 5 |
O He before whose greatness all great things are
small!
Bless Muhammad and his
Household
and give us honour with Thee! |
| 6 |
O He to whom all hidden tidings are manifest!
Bless Muhammad and his
Household
and expose us not before Thee!
|
| 7 |
O God,
remove our need for the gifts
of the givers
through
Thy gift,
spare
us the loneliness of those who break off
through
Thy joining,
that we may beseech no one
along
with Thy free giving,
that
we may feel lonely at no one's absence
along
with Thy bounty! |
| 8 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his
Household,
scheme for us, not against us,
devise to our benefit, not to
our loss,66
give the turn to prevail to
us, not to others! |
| 9 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his
Household,
protect us from Thyself,
safeguard us through Thyself,
guide us to Thyself,
and
take us not far from Thyself!67
he whom Thou protectest stays
safe,
he
whom Thou guidest knows,
and
he whom Thou bringest near Thyself
takes
the spoils. |
| 10 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his
Household
and spare us the cutting edge
of time's turning changes,
the
evil of Satan's snares,
and
the bitterness of the sovereign's aggression! |
| 11 |
O God,
the spared are spared only
through the bounty of Thy strength,
so
bless Muhammad and his Household
and
spare us!
The givers give only through
the bounty of Thy wealth,
so
bless Muhammad and his Household
and
give to us!
The guided are guided only by
the light of Thy face,
so
bless Muhammad and his Household
and
guide us! |
| 12 |
O God,
he whom Thou befriendest will
not be injured
by
the abandonment of the abandoners,
he to whom Thou givest will
not be diminished
by
the withholding of the withholders,
he whom Thou guidest will not
be misled
by
the misguidance of the misguiders. |
| 13 |
So bless Muhammad and his Household,
defend us from Thy servants
through
Thy might,
free us from need for other
than Thee
through
Thy support,
and make us travel the path of
the Truth
through
Thy right guidance! |
| 14 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his
Household
and put
the
soundness of our hearts
into
the remembrance of Thy mightiness,
the
idleness of our bodies
into
giving thanks for Thy favour,
and
the flow of our tongues
into
the description of Thy kindness! |
| 15 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his
Household
and make us one of
Thy
summoners who summon to Thee,
Thy
guiders who direct to Thee,
and
Thy special friends whom Thou hast singled out!
O Most Merciful of the
merciful! |
