وَفِي آجَالِنَا بِطُولِ الأمَلِ

wa fī ājālinā bi-ṭūli al-amal

and concerning our terms of life with prolonged expectation,

حَتَّى الْتَمَسْنَا أَرْزَاقَكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ،

ḥattā iltamasnā arzāqaka min ‘indi al-marzūqīn,

until we sought Your provisions from those who are provided for,

وَطَمِعْنَا بِآمَالِنَا فِي أَعْمَارِ الْمُعَمَّرِينَ.

wa ṭami‘nā bi-āmālinā fī a‘māri al-mu‘ammarīn.

and we yearned, through our expectations, for the lives of those whose lives are prolonged.

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ،

fa-ṣalli ‘alā muḥammad wa ālih,

So bless Muhammad and his Household,

وَهَبْ لَنَا يَقِيناً صَادِقاً تَكْفِينا بِهِ MIN مَؤونَةِ الطَّلَبِ،

wa hab lanā yaqīnan ṣādiqan takfīnā bihī min ma’ūnati aṭ-ṭalab,

and grant us true certainty through which You suffice us from the burden of seeking,

وَأَلْهِمْنَا ثِقَةً خَالِصَةً تُعْفِينَا بِهَا مِنْ شِدَّةِ النَّصَبِ،

wa alhimnā thiqatan khāliṣatan tu‘fīnā bihā min shiddati an-naṣab,

and inspire us with sincere trust through which You spare us the hardship of toil,

وَاجْعَلْ مَا صَرَّحتَ بِهِ مِنْ عِدَتِكَ فِي وَحْيِكَ،

wa ij‘al mā ṣarraḥta bihī min ‘idatika fī waḥyik,

and make what You have plainly declared of Your promise in Your revelation,

وَأَتْبَعْتَهُ مِنْ قَسَمِكَ فِي كِتَابِكَ

wa atba‘tahu min qasamika fī kitābik

and what You followed it with of Your oath in Your Book,

قَاطِعاً لاهْتِمَامِنَا بِالرِّزْقِ الَّـذِيْ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِهِ

qāṭi‘an li-ihtimāminā bi-ar-rizq alladhī takaffalta bih

a severance for our concern with the provision which You guaranteed,

وَحَسْمَاً لِلاشْتِغَالِ بِمَا ضَمِنْتَ الْكِفَايَةَ لَهُ،

wa ḥasman li-al-ishtighāl bi-mā ḍaminta al-kifāyah lah,

and a decisive end to preoccupation with what You secured sufficiency for,

فَقُلْتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ الْأَصْدَقُ

fa-qulta wa qawluka al-ḥaqqu al-aṣdaq

for You have said—and Your saying is the truest truth—

وَأَقْسَمْتَ وَقَسَمُكَ الْأَبَرُّ الْأَوْفى:

wa aqsamta wa qasamuka al-abarru al-awfā:

and You have sworn—and Your oath is the most righteous, the most perfect:

( وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ )

(wa fī as-samā’i rizqukum wa mā tū‘adūn)

("And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised") [Qur'an 51:22]

ثُمَّ قُلْتَ: ( فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ إنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُوْنَ ).

thumma qulta: (fa-wa-rabbi as-samā’i wa al-arḍi innahū la-ḥaqqun mithla mā annakum tanṭiqūn).

Then You said: ("Then, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, indeed, it is the truth, just as you speak.") [Qur'an 51:23]
