اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهٖ، وَاَفْرِشْنِي مِهَادَ كَرَامَتِكَ، وَاَوْرِدْنِي مَشَارِعَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَاَحْلِلْنِي بُحْبُوحَةَ جَنَّتِكَ، وَلَا تَسُمْنِي بِالرَّدِّ عَنْكَ، وَلَا تَحْرِمْنِي بِالْخَيْبَةِ مِنْكَ

O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, spread for me the bed of Thy honour, bring me to the wateringholes of Thy mercy, set me down in the midst of Thy Garden, stamp me not with rejection by Thee, deprive me not through disappointment by Thee,
وَلَا تُقَاصَّنِي بِمَا اجْتَرَحْتُ وَلَا تُنَاقِشْنِي بِمَا اكْتَسَبْتُ، وَلَا تُبْرِزْ مَكْتُومِي، وَلَا تَكْشِفْ مَسْتُورِي، وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَى مِيزَانِ الْاِنْصَافِ عَمَلِي، وَلَا تُعْلِنْ عَلَى عُيُونِ الْمَلَاِ خَبَرِي

settle not accounts with me for what I have committed, make no reckoning with me for what I have earned, display not what I have hidden, expose not what I have covered over, weigh not my works on the scales of fairness, and make not my tidings known to the eyes of the crowd!
اَخْفِ عَنْهُمْ مَا يَكُونُ نَشْرُهٗ عَلَيَّ عَاراً، وَاطْوِ عَنْهُمْ مَا يُلْحِقُنِي عِنْدَكَ شَنَاراً

Conceal from them everything whose unfolding would shame me and roll up before them all which would join me to disgrace with Thee!
شَرِّفْ دَرَجَتِي بِرِضْوَانِكَ، وَاَكْمِلْ كَرَامَتِي بِغُفْرَانِكَ، وَانْظِمْنِي فِي اَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ، وَوَجِّهْنِي فِي مَسَالِكِ الْآمِنِينَ، وَاجْعَلْنِي فِي فَوْجِ الْفَائِزِينَ، وَاعْمُرْ بِي مَجَالِسَ الصَّالِحِينَ، آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Ennoble my degree through Thy good pleasure, perfect my honour through Thy forgiveness, rank me among the companions of the right hand, direct me to the roads of the secure, place me in the throng of the triumphant, and through me let the sessions of the righteous thrive! Amen, Lord of the worlds!
