O All\h! I ask of you, O All\h, O Gracious, O Merciful,
O Refuge of those who seek refuge, O Sanctuary of the fearful,
O Succour of he who has no succour, O Supporter of he who has
no support, O Treasure of he who has no treasure,
O Guard of the poor, O Wealth of the needy, O Great Hope,
O Deliverer of the perished, O Saviour of the drowning,
O Favour-giving, O Excellency, O Beneficient, O Giver of grace,
O Powerful, O Almighty, O Glorious;
You are He for Whom prostrate the darkness of night,
the light of the day, the rays of the sun, the rustling of the trees,
the roar of the water, and the light of the moon.
O All\h! You have no partner I ask You through these names that
You send peace and mercy on Your servant and Messenger,
Mu#ammad and on the family of Mu#ammad.
