in the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful
Oh ALLAH oh he who extendeds the mornings tongue in the speech of its dawning , dispatched the fragments of the dark night into the gloom of its stammering, made firm the structure of the turning spheres in the measures of its display and beamed forth the brightness of the sun through the light of its blazeing! Oh he who demonstrates his essence by his essence, transcends congeneity with hes creatures and is exalted beyond conformity with his qualityes!

Oh he he who is near to the passing thoughts of opinions far from the regards of eyes and knows what will be, before it comes to be! Oh he who has put me at ease in the cradle of his security and sanctyuary, and awakened me to the favors and kindness that he has bestowed upon me and held back from me the claws of evil with his hand and his force! Bless, oh ALLAH the guid to thee in the darkest night, him who, of thy ropes clings to the cord of the summit of stout shoulders and whose feet were entrenched in spite of slippery places in ancient time and bless his household, the good, the chosen, the pious, and open for us, oh Allah, the leaves of mornings door with the keys of mercy and prosperity! Cloth me oh allah with the most excellent robes of guidence and righteousness!
Plant oh allah through thy tremendousness, the springs of humility in the watering place of my heart! Cause to flow, oh allah, because of thy awesomeness, tears of moarning from the cornersof my eyes! and chastise, oh allah the recklessness of my clumsiness with the reins of contentment! My god, if mercy from thee does not begin with fair success for me, then who can take me to thee upon the evident path? If thy delibersteness should turn me over to the guide of hopes and wishes then who will annull my slips from the stumbles of caprice? If thy help should forsake me in the battle with the soul and satan, then thy forsaking will have entrusted me to where there is hardship and deprivation. My god, dost thou see that i have only come to thee from the direction of true hopes or clung to the ends of thy cords when my sins have driven me from the house of union? so what an evil mount upon whick my soul has mounted its caprice! woe upon it for being seduced by its own opinions and wishes! and destruction be upon it for its audacity towards its master and protecter! My god, i have knocked upon the door of thy mercy with the hand of my hope, and fled to thee seeking refuge from my excessive caprice and fixed the fingers of my love to the ends of thy cords. so pardon, oh allah, the slips and errors i have commmitted and release me from the foot-tangling of my robe. For thou art my master, my protector, my suppoter adnd my hope and thou art the object of my search and desire in my ultimate end and stable abode. My god how couldst thou drive away a poor begger who seeks refuge in thee from sins fleeing? Ir how couldst thou disappoint one seeking guidance who repairs to thy threshold, running? Or how couldst thou reject a thirsty man who comes to thy pools to drink? Never! for thy pools are full in the hardship of drought, thy door is open for seeking and penetration and thou art the goal of requests and the object of hopes. My god, these are the reins of my soul i have bound them with the ties of thy will. These are the burdens of my sins- i have averted them with thy pardon and mercy. And these are my caprices that lead astray. I have intrusted them to the threshold of thy gentleness and kindliness. So make this morning of mine, oh allah decend upon me with the radiance of guidance, and with safty in religion and this world! and make my evening a shield against the deception of enemies and a protection against the destructive blows of caprice! Verily thou art able over what thou wilt! thou givest thee kingdom to whom thou will and thou seizest the kingdom from whom thou wilt in the hand is the good; thou art powerful over all things. Thou makest the night to enter into day and thou makest the day to enter into night. Thou bringest forth the living from the dead, and thou bringest forth the dead from the living and thou providest whomsoever thou wilt w/o reckoning. There is no God but thou. Glory be to thee, oh allah and to thee belongs all praise! Who knows what thou art w/o fearing thee? who knows what thou art w/o awe of thee? Through thy power thou hast joined separate things through thy gentleness thou hast cleaved apart the daybreak and through thy generosity tho hast illuminated the dark shrouds of night. thou hast made water sweet and salt flow forth from hard shinning stones sent down out of rain clouds water cascading and appointed the sun and moon a blazing lamp for the creatures, w/o experiencing in that which thou originated either weariness or effort, so , oh he who is alone in might and subsistace and dominates his slaves with death and annihilation, bless muhammoad adn his house hold. the god fearing hear my call answer my suppilcatrion and actualize througth thy bounty my hope and dsesire. oh best of those who is called to remove affliction and object of hope in every diffuculty and ease! iI have stated my need. so do not reject me oh my master, despairing of thy exalted gifts. oh all generous of all generous, by thy mercy, oh most merciful of the merciful, and allah bless the best of his creatures, Muhammad, and all his houshold.

{then thou should prostrate theyself and say}
My God' my heart is veiled, my soul deficieant, my intelligence defeated, my caprice triumphant, my obediance little, my disobedience much and my tounge acknowledges sins. So what am i to do? Oh he who covers defects! Oh he who knows the unseen theings! Oh he who removes trouble! Forgive me my sins all of them oh all-forgiver! Oh all forgiver! oh all forgiver by thy mercy, oh most merciful of the merciful.
