Seventh: It is recommended to say the following supplicatory prayer, which is considered the shortest supplicatory prayer to be said at the time of Sahar. It is also mentioned in Iqbal al-A’mal:
يَامَفْزَعِيْ عِنْدَ كُرْبَتِي
O my Safe haven at grievances!
وَيَاغَوْثِيْ عِنْدَ شِدَّتِي،
O my Aide at hardships!
إِلَيْكَ فَزِعْتُ
To You do I turn,
وَبِكَ اسْتَغَثْتُ
Your help do I seek,
وَبِكَ لُذْتُ
and with You do I take refuge.
لَا اَلُوْذُ بِسِوَاكَ
I seek refuge with none save You
وَلَا اَطْلُبُ الْفَرَجَ اِلَّا مِنْكَ؛
and I beseech none for relief save You.
فَاَغِثْنِي وَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي
So, (please) come to my help and free me from cares.
يَا مَنْ يَّقْبَلُ الْيَسِيْرَ
O He Who accepts even the least efforts
وَيَعْفُوْ عَنِ الْكَثِيْرِ
excuses the much wrongdoing!
اِقْبَلْ مِنِّي الْيَسِيْرَ
(Please do) accept my little effort
وَاعْفُ عَنِّي الْكَثِيْرَ
excuse my much wrongdoing.
إِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ۔
Verily, You are the Oft-forgiving, Merciful (Lord).
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْاَلُكَ اِيْمَانًا تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي
O Allah, I ask for faith with which You may fill my heart
وَيَقِيْنًا حَتَّى اَعْلَمَ اَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيْبَنِي اِلَّا مَاكَتَبْتَ لِيْ
and for certitude so that I shall always know that nothing will afflict me save what You have ordained for me.
وَرَضِّنِيْ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي
(Please) make me feel satisfied with the living that You decide for me.

وَيَاصَاحِبِي فِي شِدَّتِي
O my companion at times of hardships!
وَيَاوَلِـيِّی فِي نِعْمَتِي
O Source of my all bounties!
وَيَاغايَتِي فِي رَغْبَتِي
O my ultimate goal whenever I desire for something!
اَنْتَ السَّاتِرُ عَوْرَتِيْ
It is You Who is the concealer of my defects,
وَالْاٰمِنُ رَوْعَتِيْ
Who secures me at times of horror,
وَالْمُقِيْلُ عَثْرَتِيْ،
and Who overlooks my slips.
فَاغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيْئَتِي
So, (please do) forgive my sin.
يَآاَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ۔
O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
