O He through whom the knots of detested things are
untied!
O He through whom the cutting
edge of hardships is blunted!
O He from whom is begged the
outlet to the freshness of relief! |
| 2 |
Intractable affairs yield to Thy power,
means are made ready by Thy
gentleness,
the decree goes into effect
through Thy power,
and all things proceed
according to Thy desire. |
| 3 |
By Thy desire they follow Thy command
without Thy word
and by Thy will they obey Thy
bans
without Thy prohibition. |
| 4 |
Thou art the supplicated in worries
and the place of flight in misfortunes;
none of them is repelled
unless Thou repellest,
none is removed unless Thou removest. |
| 5 |
Upon me has come down, My Lord,
something whose weight burdens me
and upon me has fallen
something whose carrying oppresses me. |
| 6 |
Through Thy power
Thou hast brought it down upon me
and through Thy authority
Thou hast turned it toward me. |
| 7 |
None can send away what Thou hast brought,
none can deflect what Thou
hast turned,
none can open what Thou hast
closed,
none can close what Thou hast
opened,
none can make easy what Thou
hast made difficult,
none can help him whom Thou
hast abandoned. |
| 8 |
So bless Muhammad and his Household,
open for me, my Lord, the
door of relief through Thy graciousness,
break from me the authority
of worry by Thy strength,
confer the beauty of Thy gaze
upon my complaint,
let me taste the sweetness of
benefaction in what I ask,
give me from Thyself mercy
and wholesome relief,
and appoint for me from
Thyself a quick way out! |
| 9 |
Distract me not through worry
from observing Thy
obligations
and acting in accordance with
Thy prescriptions. |
| 10 |
My capacity has been straitened, my Lord,
by what has come down on me,
and I am filled with worry
by carrying what has happened to me,
while Thou hast power to
remove what has afflicted me
and to repel that into which I have fallen.
So do that for me
though I merit it not from Thee,
O Possessor of the Mighty Throne! |
