THE SUPPLICATION ON WEDNESDAYS
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىْ جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
All praise be to Allah Who appointed the night to be a garment,
وَّالنَّوْمَ سُبًاتًا
and sleep for a rest,
وَّ جَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُوْرًا
and day He appointed for a rising!
لَكَ الْحَمْدُ اَنْ بَعَثْتَنِىْ مِنْ مَّرْقَدِىْ
To You belongs praise, for You roused me from my sleep,
وَلَوْ شِئْتَ جَعَلْتَهٗ سَرْمَدًا
and had You willed, You would have made it everlasting;
حَمْدًا دَاۤئِمًا لَا يَنْقَطِعُ اَبَدًا
an endless praise that will never be cut off
وَّلَا يُحْصِىْ لَهُ الْخَلَاۤئِقُ عَدَدًا
and whose number the creatures will never count!
اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ اَنْ خَلَقْتَ فَسَوَّيْتَ
O Allah, to You belongs praise, for You created, then fashioned,
وَ قَدَّرْتَ وَ قَضَيْتَ
ordained and decreed
وَ اَمَتَّ وَ اَحْيَيْتَ
gave death and bestowed life,
وَ اَمْرَضْتَ وَ شَفَيْتَ
made sick and healed,
وَعَافَيْتَ وَ اَبْلَيْتَ
made well and afflicted,
وَ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَيْتَ
established the Throne
وَ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ احْتَوَيْتَ
and encompassed the Kingdom!
اَدْعُوْكَ دُعَاۤءَ مَنْ ضَعُفَتْ وَسِيْلَتُهٗ
I supplicate You with the supplication of one whose mediation is weak,
وَانْقَطَعَتْ حِيْلَتُهٗ
whose stratagems have been cut off,
وَاقْتَرَبَ اَجَلُهٗ
whose term has drawn near,
وَ تَدَانٰى فِى الدُّنْيَا اَمَلُهٗ
whose expectation from this world has shrunk,
وَاشْتَدَّتْ اِلٰى رَحْمَتِكَ فَاقَتُهٗ
whose neediness for Your mercy has intensified,
وَ عَظُمَتْ لِتَفْرِيْطِهٖ حَسْرَتُهٗ
whose remorse for his neglect has become great,
وَ كَـثُرَتْ زَلَّتُهٗ وَ عَثْرَتُهٗ
whose slips and stumbles have become many,
وَ خَلُصَتْ لِوَجْهِكَ تَوْبَتُهٗ
and whose repentance is devoted sincerely to Your face.
فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ
So, bless Muhammad,
خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّيْنَ
the Seal of the Prophets,
وَ عَلٰى اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّيِّبِيْنَ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ
and his Household, the good, the pure,
وَارْزُقْنِىْ شَفَاعَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ
and provide me with the intercession of Muhammad,
صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهٖ
Allah bless him and his Household,
وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِىْ صُحْبَتَهٗ
and deprive me not of his companionship!
اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ
Surely, You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
اَللّٰهُمَّ اقْضِ لِىْ فِى الْاَرْبَعَاۤءِ اَرْبَعًا
O Allah, decree for me on Wednesday four things:
اِجْعَلْ قُوَّتِـىْ فِىْ طَاعَتِكَ
Induce me to be strong in obedience to You,
وَ نَشَاطِىْ فِىْ عِبَادَتِكَ
to be active in worshiping You,
وَ رَغْبَتِىْ فِىْ ثَوَابِكَ
to be desirous for Your reward,
وَ زُهْدِىْ فِيْمَا يُوْجِبُ لِىْ اَلِيْمَ عِقَابِكَ
and to abstain from that which would make incumbent upon me Your painful punishment!
اِنَّكَ لَطِيْفٌ لِّمَا تَشَاۤءُ۔
You are Gentle to whom You will!
