And mend for us all that we have damaged! And fix for us all that we have spoilt!
فَإِنَّ الْحَسَنَةَ مِنْكَ وَ السَّيِّئَةَ مِنَّا وَ أَنْتَ الْمُحْسِنُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْإِسَاءَةِ وَ أَنْتَ أَهْلٌ لِذَلِكَ

For goodness comes from You while evil comes from us!
And You are the one who does good to the evil doers, and that is what befits You!
كَمَا أَنَّا الْمُسِيئُونَ إِلَى ذِي الْفَضْلِ وَ الْإِحْسَانِ وَ نَحْنُ أَهْلٌ لِذَلِكَ
Kamā anā-l musee'ūna ilā dhī-l fadli wa-l ihsāni wa nahnu ahlun li-dhālika
Just as we do bad to the graceful & generous one…and that is what we are capable of!
فَافْعَلْ بِنَا مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لاَ تَفْعَلْ بِنَا مَا نَحْنُ أَهْلُهُ
Fāf'al binā mā Anta ahluhu wa lā taf'al binā mā nahnu ahluhu.
So deal with us as befits You! And do not deal with us as we deserve!
لَآ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَلْنَا وَ أَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ
Lā Ilāha Ilā Anta, 'alayka tawakkalnā wa Anta Rabbu-l 'Arshi-l 'Azeem.
There is no God but You! On You we rely and You are the Lord of the great throne!
مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ وَ ما لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
māshā'a-llahu kāna wa mā lam yasha' lam yakun.
Whatever Allah wishes happens & whatever He does not wish, does not happen!
أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا
a'alamu anna-llaha 'alā kulli shay'in qadeerun wa anna-llah qad ahāta bi-kulli shay'in 'ilmān.
I recognize that Allah has power over all matters & He has full knowledge of all things!

Yā mumsika-s samā'i an taqa'a 'alā-l ardi illā bi-idhnihi.
O Who holds the Skies from falling upon the Earth…except by His permission!
فَإِنَّا الْأُمَنَاءُ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ رَحْمَتِكَ الْخَائِفُونَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا
Fa-Innā'l umanā'u tahta zilli rahmatika-l khā'ifūna min dhunūbinā.
We are safe under the shade of Your Mercy! But we fear our sins!
فَحَقِّقْ لَنَا الْأَمْنَ دَوَامًا أَبَدًا سَرْمَدًا إِلَی يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِلَی أبَدِ الْأَبَدِ
Fa haqqiq lanā-l amna dawāmān abadān sarmadān ilā yaumi-d deen ilā abadi-l abadi.
So grant us eternal safety! Forever and never-ending
Till the day of Reckoning and beyond. Everlasting!
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ صَحْبِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا
wa salā-llahu 'alā sayyidinā Muhammadin wa ālihi wa sahbihi wa sallama taslīmā.
And may Allah bless our master Muhammad & his family and companions
And send His complete peace upon them!
