دُعَاءُ الْفَرَجْ - إلهي عظم البلاء
Bismillahi ’r-rahmani ’r-rahim
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful
إِلَهِيْ عَظُمَ الْبَلَاءُ وَبَرِحَ الْخَفَاءُ
Ilahi ‘azuma’l-bala’u wa bariha’l-khafa’
O my Lord! The calamity has aggravated; the absence prolonged;
وَانْكَشَفَ الْغِطَاءُ وَانْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ ،
Wa’nkashafa’l-ghita’u wa’nqata‘a’r-raja’
The curtain of modesty has been lifted; hope has been curtailed;
وَضَاقَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَمُنِعَتِ السَّمَاءُ
Wa daqati’l-ardu wa muni‘ati’s-sama’
The earth has been narrow; and sky has been denied.
وَأَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَإِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَي
Wa anta’l-musta‘anu wa ilayka’l-mushtaka
And You are the One from whom help is sought and complaints are made
