اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَفْضَتِ الْقُلُوبُ،
O My God! Hearts are drawn to You,
وَمُدَّتِ الاْعْنَاقُ،
necks stretch (towards You),
وَشَخَصَتِ الاْبْصَارُ،
eyes are fixed (on You),
وَنُقِلَتِ الاْقْدَامُ،
steps are in motion (towards You)
وَأُنْضِيَتِ الاْبْدَانُ.
and bodies have turned lean.
اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ صَرَّحَ مَكْنُونُ الشَّنَآنِ،
O My God! Hidden animosity has become manifest
وَجَاشَتْ مَرَاجِلُ الاْضْغَانِ
and the cauldrons of malice are boiling.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَشْكُوا إِلَيكَ غَيْبَةَ نَبِيِّنَا،
O My God! We complain to You of the absence of our Prophet,
وَكَثْرَةَ عَدُوِّنَا،
the numerousness of our enemy
وَتَشَتُّتَ أَهْوَائِنَا.
and the diffusion of our passions.
(رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْفَاتِحِينَ)
Our Lord! Decide between us and between our people with truth, and You are the Best of Deciders. (Qur'an, 7:89)
