I seek refuge in you O Allah! From eyes that are not restrained and from a tongue that is not tamed I seek refuge in You O Allah! From a heart that is complacent and from a mood that is not patient I seek refuge in You O Allah! From a soul that is not grateful and from a thought that is not lawful I seek refuge in You O Allah! From a limb that is not humbled and from conviction that begins to stumble I seek refuge in You O Allah! From hoarding every pence and slowness in obedience I seek refuge in You O Allah! From love of material life and from ignorance of Eternal life I seek refuge in You O Allah! From the trials of life and death and from the punishment of the grave I seek refuge in You O Allah! From the trials of Ad-Dajjal and from the torment of the blaze Grant me wisdom, O Most High! And understanding and strength Grant me fortitude, O Magnificent! And humility to repent Grant me light, O Most Merciful! To penetrate my heart Grant me your Love O Creator! For the Greatest Thou art. |
