wa kitāban faṣṣaltahu li'ibādika tafṣīlā
a book, which Thou hast distinguished very distinctly for Thy servants,
وَوَحْياً أَنْزَلْتَهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّد صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ تَنْزِيلاً،

wajaʿaltahu nuran nahtadi min zulami al-dhalalati wal-jahalati bi at-tibaʿihi
Thou appointed it a light through following which we may be guided from the shadows of error and ignorance,
وَشِفَـاءً لِمَنْ أَنْصَتَ بِفَهْم التَّصْدِيقِ إلَى اسْتِمَاعِهِ،
wa-shifā'an li-man anṣata bi-fahmi al-taṣdīqi ilā istimā'ih

wa lā tanālu aydī al-halakāt man taʿallaqa biʿurwatī ʿiṣmatih
and he who clings to its preservation's handhold will not be touched by the hands of disasters.
أَللَّهُمَّ فَإذْ أَفَدْتَنَا الْمعُونَةَ عَلَى تِلاَوَتِهِ،
allāhumma fa'itha afadtanā almuaūnata 'alā tilāwatihi
O God, since Thou hast given us help to recite it
وَسَهَّلْتَ جَوَاسِيَ أَلْسِنَتِنَا بِحُسْنِ عِبَارَتِهِ،

wayafzaʿu ilā al-iqrāri bi-mutashābihihī wa-mūḍaḥāti bayyinātihī
and seek refuge in admitting both its ambiguous parts and the elucidations of its clear signs!
أللَّهُمَّ إنَّكَ أَنْزَلْتَهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ
allāhumma innaka anzaltahu ʿalā nabiyyika
O God, Thou sent it down upon Thy prophet

waqawwaytanā ʿalayhi litarfaʿanā fawqa man lam yuṭiq ḥamlahu
and Thou gave us strength over it to raise us above those not able to carry it.
أللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا جَعَلْتَ قُلُوبَنَا لَهُ حَمَلَةً،
allāhumma fakamā jaʿaltā qulūbanā lahū ḥamalatan
O God, just as Thou hast appointed our hearts as its carriers
وَعَرَّفْتَنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ شَرَفَهُ وَفَضْلَهُ،
wa ʿarraftanā birahmatika sharafahu wa faḍluhu
and made known to us through Thy mercy its nobility and excellence,
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد الْخَطِيْبِ بِهِ،
