His supplication on the eve of Saturday
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O the one Who when forgives, never revenges, have mercy on Your
creatures. O Allah! O my beloved have mercy on me. O Lord! Your
servant is in Your presence, O Lord! O Lord! For the sake of Your
creatures O my hope and wishes O the listener of complaints O the
extreme pleasure. O the one to make the blood flow in my veins Your
creature and only Your creature is present before You. O My Lord! O
the master of the creatures Your servant is present in Your Domain. O
the center of hopes! O Master! O He! O He! O He! O Lord! O Lord! I am
Your servant there is no one useful for this careless soul, neither gain
nor loss is in his control and nor is there anyone who can do goodness
to him, I have exhausted all my weapons of cheating, and all the evil has
been exposed, now the world has left me isolated for You and so I am
standing. O my God You are aware of everything, then how will You
treat me. O that I knew! Although I do not know Your reply after listening
to my supplication. Will You say 'yes' or 'no' and if You say 'no' then
alas! Alas! Alas! I complain, I complain, I complain, oh my misfortune!
Unlucky! Wretchedness! Oh Shame! Oh Shame! Oh Shame! Now
where shall I go? Why and what for? Or with whom shall I seek refuge
and from whom shall I have hopes. Is there anyone who shall have
grace upon me by his mercy, when it is You who have left me? O the
excessive forgiver. And if You say 'Yes your supplication is accepted'
like I believe it, then I am indeed lucky and worth compliments. I
congratulate that I deserve mercy O the one Who does mercy O the
generous! O the one Who is Attentive! O the Master! O the Powerful! O
the one Who overpowers! I don't have a deed which can be a cause for
the acceptance of my prayers. I beseech You for the sake of Your
names which You have created from everything and is concealed by
Your covering and this concealed name is known only to You, I seek of
that name of Yours which has never been utilised and will never be
utilized. I ask You by Your name and by Yourself, as I don't possess
anything other than these. Neither I meet anyone who could get me
some benefit from You. O the great and Ancient, O the Honourable! O
He Who has made me recognize my own soul. O He Who has granted
me, my desires, O the one Who is called! O the one Who is questioned!
O the one from whom one seeks the desires. O Allah I have left those
commands which You had reminded me, and I did not obey You, and if I
had obeyed You then before me being present here You would have
appreciated my work. And I in spite of my sins, have hope from You so
don't let anything come between You and my hopes and return my
hands full of Your grace, safety and goodness. By the sake of Your
rights (ask for Your needs) O My store at the times of hardships. O my
hope at the time of trials, O my guardian at the time of bounties, O my
fulfiller of needs at the time of desires, O my refuge at the time of
destruction, O my saver at the time of annihilation, O my companion in
solitude, bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny and forgive my
sins. Ease for me my transactions, bestow on me my spread to unity,
success in my aims, reformation of my self, and answer for my
supplications, success and solution in all my affairs. Don't take away
safety from me when You give me life and when You give me death. O
Most Merciful of all the mercifuls.
