I pray the forgiveness of Allah; there is no god but He,
الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّوْمُ
the Ever-living, the Self-Subsisting,
وَ اَتُوْبُ اِلَيْهِ
and I repent to Him
تَوْبَةَ عَبْدٍ خَاضِعٍ
as a slave who is submissive,
مِسْكِيْنٍ مُسْتَكِيْنٍ
acquiescent, and poor,
لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُ لِنَفْسِهِ صَرْفًا وَ لَا عَدْلًا
not controlling for himself any harm or profit,
وَ لَا نَفْعًا وَ لَا ضَرًّا
or benefit or damage
وَ لَا حَيَاةً وَ لَا مَوْتًا وَ لَا نُشُوْرًا
and not controlling death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.
وَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ
May Allah send peace upon Muhammad
وَّ عِتْرَتِهِ الطَّيِّبِيْنَ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ
and his Household; the pure, the immaculate,
الْاَخْيَارِ الْاَبْرَارِ
the choicest, and the pious;
وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيْمًا ۔
and may He spread thorough blessings over them.
