Text and Translation

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهٖ، وَهَبْ لِيَ الْعَافِيَةَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ تُخْلِقُ بِهٖ وَجْهِي، وَيَحَارُ فِيهِ ذِهْنِي، وَيَتَشَعَّبُ لَهٗ فِكْرِي، وَيَطُولُ بِمُمَارَسَتِهٖ شُغْلِي

O God, bless Muhammad and his Household and release me from a debt which makes me lose face, confuses my mind, disrupts my thinking, and prolongs my occupation with attending to it!

وَاَعُوذُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ هَمِّ الدَّيْنِ وَفِكْرِهٖ، وَشُغْلِ الدَّيْنِ وَسَهَرِهٖ، فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهٖ، وَاَعِذْنِي مِنْهُ، وَاَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ، يَا رَبِّ، مِنْ ذِلَّتِهٖ فِي الْحَيَاةِ، وَمِنْ تَبِعَتِهٖ بَعْدَ الْوَفَاةِ، فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهٖ، وَاَجِرْنِي مِنْهُ بِوُسْعٍ فَاضِلٍ اَوْ كَفَافٍ وَاصِلٍ

I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, from worry and thought about debt, from the distraction and sleeplessness of debt; so bless Muhammad and his Household and give me refuge from it! I seek sanctuary in Thee, my Lord, from debt's abasement in life and its ill effects after death, so bless Muhammad and his Household and give me sanctuary from it through a bountiful plenty or a continually arriving sufficiency!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهٖ، وَاحْجُبْنِي عَنِ السَّرَفِ وَالِازْدِيَادِ، وَقَوِّمْنِي بِالْبَذْلِ وَالِاقْتِصَادِ، وَعَلِّمْنِي حُسْنَ التَّقْدِيرِ، وَاقْبِضْنِي بِلُطْفِكَ عَنِ التَّبْذِيرِ، وَاَجْرِ مِنْ اَسْبَابِ الْحَلَالِ اَرْزَاقِي، وَوَجِّهْ فِي اَبْوَابِ الْبِرِّ اِنْفَاقِي، وَازْوِ عَنِّي مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يُحْدِثُ لِي مَخِيلَةً اَوْ تَاَدِّياً اِلَى بَغْيٍ اَوْ مَا اَتَعَقَّبُ مِنْهُ طُغْيَاناً

O God, bless Muhammad and his Household prevent me from extravagance and excess, put me on the course of generous spending and moderation, teach me excellent distribution, hold me back through Thy gentleness from squandering, allow me to attain my provisions through lawful means, direct my spending toward the gateways of devotion, and take away from me any possession which will bring forth pride in me, lead to insolence, or drag me in its heels to rebellion!

اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ اِلَيَّ صُحْبَةَ الْفُقَرَاءِ، وَاَعِنِّي عَلَى صُحْبَتِهِمْ بِحُسْنِ الصَّبْرِ

O God, make me love the companionship of the poor and help me be their companion with excellent patience!

وَمَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي مِنْ مَتَاعِ الدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ فَاذْخَرْهُ لِي فِي خَزَائِنِكَ الْبَاقِيَةِ

Whenever Thou takest away from me the goods of this perishing world, store them for me in Thy abiding treasuries!

وَاجْعَلْ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي مِنْ حُطَامِهَا، وَعَجَّلْتَ لِي مِنْ مَتَاعِهَا بُلْغَةً اِلَى جِوَارِكَ وَوُصْلَةً اِلَى قُرْبِكَ وَذَرِيعَةً اِلَى جَنَّتِكَ، اِنَّكَ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَاَنْتَ الْجَوَادُ الْكَرِيمُ

Make this world's broken pieces which Thou hast conferred upon me and its goods which Thou hast quickly granted to me a way to reach Thy neighbourhood, a link to Thy nearness, and a means to Thy Garden! Verily Thou art Possessor of bounty abounding, and Thou art the Munificent, the Generous.
