for You hast created us, commanded us, and prohibited us, and made us desire
فِيْ ثَوَابِ مَا أَمَرْتَنَا وَرَهَّبْتَنَا عِقَابَهُ
fī thawābi mā amar-tanā warahhabtanā `iqābah
the reward of what You hast commanded, and fear its punishment!
وَجَعَلْتَ لَنَا عَدُوًّا يَكِيدُنَا
waja`alta lanā `aduwwan yakīdunā
You assigned to us an enemy who schemes against us,
سَلَّطْتَهُ مِنَّا عَلَى مَا لَمْ تُسَلِّطْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ
sallaṭtahu minnā `alā mā lam tusalliṭnā `alayhi minh
gave him an authority over us in a way that You didst not give us authority over him
أَسْكَنْتَهُ صُدُورَنَا، وَأَجْرَيْتَهُ مَجَارِيَ دِمَائِنَا
askantahu ṣudūranā, wa-ajraytahu majāriya dimā-inā
allowed him to dwell in our breasts and let him run in our blood vessels;
لَا يَغْفُلُ إِنْ غَفَلْنَا، وَلَا يَنْسَى إِنْ نَسِينَا
lā yaghfulu in ghafalnā, walā yansā in nasīnā
he is not heedless, though we be heedless, he does not forget, though we forget;
يُؤْمِنُنَا عِقَابَكَ، وَيُخَوِّفُنَا بِغَيْرِكَ
yu-minunā `iqābak, wayukhawwifunā bighayrik
he makes us feel secure from Your punishment and fills us with fear toward other than You.

in hamamnā bifāḥishatin shajja`anā `alayhā
If we are about to commit an indecency, he gives us courage to do so,
وَإِنْ هَمَمْنَا بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ ثَبَّطَنَا عَنْهُ
wa-in hamamnā bi`amalin ṣāliḥin thabbaṭanā `anh
and if we are about to perform a righteous work, he holds us back from it.
يَتَعَرَّضُ لَنَا بِالشَّهَوَاتِ، وَيَنْصِبُ لَنَا بِالشُّبُهَاتِ
yata`arraḍu lanā bishhahawāt, wayanṣibu lanā bishhubuhāt
He opposes us through passions, and sets up for us doubts.
إِنْ وَعَدَنَا كَذَبَنَا وَإِنْ مَنَّانَا أَخْلَفَنَا
in wa`adanā kadhabanā wa-in mannānā akhlafanā
If he promises us, he lies, and if he raises our hopes, he fails to fulfil them.
وَإِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنَّا كَيْدَهُ يُضِلَّنَا
wa-illā taṣrif `annā kaydahu yuḍillanā
If You dost not turn his trickery away from us, he will misguide us,
وَإِلَّا تَقِنَا خَبَالَهُ يَسْتَزِلَّنَا
wa-illā taqinā khabālahu yastazillanā
and if You dost not protect us from his corruption, he will cause us to slip.
اَللَّهُمَّ فَاقْهَرْ سُلْطَانَهُ عَنَّا بِسُلْطَانِكَ حَتَّى تَحْبِسَهُ عَنَّا
allāhumma faqhar sulṭānahu `annā bisulṭānika ḥattā taḥbisahu `annā
O God, so defeat his authority over us through Your authority, such that You holdest him back from us
بِكَثْرَةِ الدُّعَاءِ لَكَ، فَنُصْبِحَ مِنْ كَيْدِهِ فِيْ الْمَعْصُومِيْنَ بِكَ
bikathratid du`ā-i lak, fanuṣbiḥa min kaydihi fil ma`ṣūmīna bik
through the frequency of our supplication to You and we leave his trickery and rise up among those preserved by You from sin!
اَللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِيْ كُلَّ سُؤْلِي، وَاقْضِ لِيْ حَوَائِجِي
allāhumma a`ṭinī kulla su-lī, waqḍi lī ḥawā-ijī
O God, grant me my every request, accomplish for me my needs,
وَلَا تَمْنَعْنِيْ الْإِجَابَةَ وَقَدْ ضَمِنْتَهَا لِي
walā tamna`nil ijābata waqad ḍamintahā lī
withhold not from me Your response when You hast made Yourself accountable for it to me,
وَلَا تَحْجُبْ دُعَائِيْ عَنْكَ وَقَدْ أَمَرْتَنِيْ بِهِ
walā taḥjub du`ā-ī `anka waqad amar-tanī bih
veil not my supplication from Yourself, when You hast commanded me to make it,
وَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِكُلِّ مَا يُصْلِحُنِي
wamnun `alayya bikulli mā yuṣliḥunī
and be kind to me through everything that will set me right
فِيْ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِيْ مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا نَسِيتُ
fī dunyāya wa ākhiratī mā dhakar-tu minhu wamā nasīt
in this world and the next, in everything that I remember or forget,
أَوْ أَظْهَرْتُ أَوْ أَخْفَيْتُ، أَوْ أَعْلَنْتُ أَوْ أَسْرَرْتُ
aw aẓhar-tu aw akhfayt, aw a`lantu aw asrar-t
display or conceal, make public or keep secret!
وَاجْعَلْنِيْ فِيْ جَمِيْعِ ذٰلِكَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِيْنَ بِسُؤَالِيْ إِيَّاكَ
waj`alnī fī jamī`i dhālika minal muṣliḥīna bisu-ālī iyyāk
