رَبِّ هَب لي حُكمًا وَأَلحِقني بِالصّالِحينَ

“My Lord, grant me wisdom and include me among the righteous.

وَاجعَل لي لِسانَ صِدقٍ فِي الآخِرينَ

And grant me a reputation of truthfulness among the later generations.

وَاجعَلني مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعيمِ

And grant me a place among the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss.

وَاغفِر لِأَبي إِنَّهُ كانَ مِنَ الضّالّينَ

And forgive my father, for he was of the lost.

وَلا تُخزِني يَومَ يُبعَثونَ

And don’t disgrace me on the Day they are resurrected.

إِلّا مَن أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلبٍ سَليمٍ

Except for those who come to God with a pure heart.”

وَأُزلِفَتِ الجَنَّةُ لِلمُتَّقينَ

And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous.

وَبُرِّزَتِ الجَحيمُ لِلغاوينَ

And Hellfire will be unveiled for the deviants.

وَقيلَ لَهُم أَينَ ما كُنتُم تَعبُدونَ

And it will be asked, “Where are those you used to worship?

مِن دونِ اللَّهِ هَل يَنصُرونَكُم أَو يَنتَصِرونَ

Besides God? Can they help you, or help themselves?”
