O' Allāh send Your blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
bismillāhir raḥmānir raḥīm
In the Name of Allāh, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ
allāhumma innī astakhīruka bi`ilmik
O God, I ask from You the best in Your knowledge,
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اقْضِ لِيْ بِالْخِيَرَةِ
faṣalli `alā muḥammadin wa-ālihi waqḍi lī bil khiyarah
so bless Muhammad and his Household and decree for me the best!
وَ أَلْهِمْنَا مَعْرِفَةَ الِاخْتِيَارِ
wa alhimnā ma`rifatal ikhtiyār
Inspire us with knowledge to chose the best
وَ اجْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ ذَرِيْعَةً إِلَى الرِّضَا
waj`al dhālika dharī`atan ilar riḍā
and make that a means to being pleased
بِمَا قَضَيْتَ لَنَا وَ التَّسْلِيمِ لِمَا حَكَمْتَ
bimā qaḍayta lanā wat taslīmi limā ḥakamt
with what You hast decreed for us and submitting to what You hast decided!
فَأَزِحْ عَنَّا رَيْبَ الِارْتِيَابِ
fa-aziḥ `annā raybal ir-tiyāb
Banish from us the doubt of misgiving
وَ أَيِّدْنَا بِيَقِينِ الْمُخْلِصِينَ
wa ayyidnā biyaqīnil mukhliṣīn
and confirm us with the certainty of the sincere!
وَ لَا تَسُمْنَا عَجْزَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ عَمَّا تَخَيَّرْتَ
wa lā tasumnā `ajzal ma`rifati `ammā takhayyar-t
Visit us not with incapacity to know what You hast chosen,
فَنَغْمِطَ قَدْرَكَ وَ نَكْرَهَ مَوْضِعَ رِضَاكَ
fanaghmiṭa qadraka wa nakraha mawḍi`a riḍāk
lest we despise Your measuring out, dislike the place of Your good pleasure,
وَ نَجْنَحَ إِلَى الَّتِيْ هِيَ أَبْعَدُ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْعَاقِبَةِ
wa najnaḥa ilal latī hiya ab`adu min ḥusnil `āqibah
and incline toward that which is further from good outcome
وَ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى ضِدِّ الْعَافِيَةِ
wa aqrabu ilā ḍiddil `āfiyah
and nearer to the opposite of well-being!
حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا مَا نَكْرَهُ مِنْ قَضَائِكَ
ḥabbib ilaynā mā nakrahu min qaḍā-ik
Make us love what we dislike in Your decree
وَ سَهِّلْ عَلَيْنَا مَا نَسْتَصْعِبُ مِنْ حُكْمِكَ
wa sahhil `alaynā mā nastaṣ`ibu min ḥukmik
and make easy for us what we find difficult in Your decision!
وَ أَلْهِمْنَا الِانْقِيَادَ لِمَا أَوْرَدْتَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ مَشِيَّتِكَ
wa alhimnal inqiyāda limā awradta `alaynā min mashiyyatik
Inspire us to yield to that which You bringest upon us by Your will,
حَتَّى لَا نُحِبَّ تَأْخِيرَ مَا عَجَّلْتَ
ḥattā lā nuḥibba ta-khīra mā `ajjalt
lest we love the delay of what You hast hastened
وَ لَا تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ وَ لَا نَكْرَهَ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ
wa lā ta`jīla mā akhhar-ta wa lā nakraha mā aḥbabt
and the hastening of what You hast delayed, dislike what You lovest,
وَ لَا نَتَخَيَّرَ مَا كَرِهْتَ
wa lā natakhayyara mā kariht
and choose what You dislikest!
وَ اخْتِمْ لَنَا بِالَّتِيْ هِيَ أَحْمَدُ عَاقِبَةً وَ أَكْرَمُ مَصِيرًا
wakhtim lanā billatī hiya aḥmadu `āqibatan wa akramu maṣīrā
Seal us with that which is most praised in outcome and most generous in issue!
إِنَّكَ تُفِيدُ الْكَرِيمَةَ وَ تُعْطِيْ الْجَسِيمَةَ
innaka tufīdul karīmata wa tu`ṭil jasīmah
Surely You givest generous gain, bestowest the immense,
وَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تُرِيدُ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
wa taf`alu mā turīdu wa anta `alā kulli shay-in qadīr
dost what You wilt, and You art "powerful over everything" (3:26).
