And grant me and my descendants refuge from the accursed Satan,

فَإنَّكَ خَلَقْتَنَا وَأَمَرْتَنَا وَنَهَيْتَنَا

fa-innaka khalaqtanā wa amartanā wa nahaytanā

for You created us, and commanded us, and forbade us,

وَرَغّبْتَنَا فِي ثَوَابِ مَا أَمَرْتَنَا وَرَهَّبْتَنَا عِقَابَهُ،

wa raghhabtanā fī thawābi mā amartanā wa rahhabtanā ‘iqābah,

and made us desire the reward for what You commanded us and made us fear its punishment,

وَجَعَلْتَ لَنَا عَدُوّاً يَكِيدُنَا،

wa ja‘alta lanā ‘aduwwan yakīdunā,

and made for us an enemy who plots against us,

سَلَّطْتَهُ مِنَّا عَلَى مَا لَمْ تُسَلِّطْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ،

sallaṭtahu minnā ‘alā mā lam tusalliṭnā ‘alayhi minh,

whom You have empowered over us in a way that You have not empowered us over him,

أَسْكَنْتَهُ صُدُورَنَا، وَأَجْرَيْتَهُ مَجَارِيَ دِمَائِنَا،

askantahu ṣudūranā, wa ajraytahu majāriya dimā’inā,

You housed him in our hearts, and made him flow in the streams of our blood,

لاَ يَغْفُلُ إنْ غَفَلْنَا، وَلاَ يَنْسَى إنْ نَسِينَا،

lā yaghfulu in ghafalnā, wa lā yansā in nasīnā,

he does not become heedless if we become heedless, nor does he forget if we forget.

يُؤْمِنُنَا عِقَابَكَ، وَيَخَوِّفُنَا بِغَيْرِكَ،

yu’minunā ‘iqābak, wa yukhawwifunā bi-ghayrik,

He makes us feel safe from Your punishment, and frightens us with others besides You.

in hamamnā bi-fāḥishatin shajja‘anā ‘alayhā,

If we intend a wicked deed, he encourages us to do it,

وَإنْ هَمَمْنَا بِعَمَل صَالِح ثَبَّطْنَا عَنْهُ،

wa in hamamnā bi-‘amalin ṣāliḥin thabbaṭanā ‘anh,

and if we intend a righteous deed, he discourages us from it.

يَتَعَرَّضُ لَنَا بِالشَّهَوَاتِ،

yata‘arraḍu lanā bi-ash-shahawāt,

He exposes us to lusts,

وَيَنْصِبُ لَنَا بِالشَّبُهَاتِ،

wa yanṣibu lanā bi-ash-shubuhāt,

and sets up doubts for us.

إنْ وَعَدَنَا كَذَبَنَا

in wa‘adanā kadhabanā

If he promises us, he lies to us,

وَإنْ مَنَّانا، أَخْلَفَنَا

wa in mannānā, akhlafanā

and if he gives us hope, he breaks his promise.

وَإلاّ تَصْرِفْ عَنَّا كَيْدَهُ يُضِلَّنَا،

wa illā taṣrif ‘annā kaydahu yuḍillunā,

And unless You turn his plot away from us, he will mislead us,

وَإلاّ تَقِنَا خَبالَهُ يَسْتَزِلَّنَا.

wa illā taqinā khabālahu yastazillunā.

and unless You guard us from his corruption, he will make us stumble.

أَللَّهُمَّ فَاقْهَرْ سُلْطَانَهُ عَنَّا بِسُلْطَانِكَ

allāhumma fa-aqhar sulṭānahu ‘annā bi-sulṭānik

O Allah, then subdue his authority over us with Your authority,

حَتَّى تَحْبِسَهُ عَنَّا بِكَثْرَةِ الدُّعَاءِ لَكَ،

ḥattā taḥbisahu ‘annā bi-kathrati ad-du‘ā’i lak,

until You restrain him from us through the abundance of our prayer to You,

فَنُصْبحَ مِنْ كَيْدِهِ فِي الْمَعْصُومِينَ بِكَ.

fa-nuṣbiḥa min kaydihi fī al-ma‘ṣūmīna bik.

so that we become, from his plotting, among those protected by You.

أَللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي كُلَّ سُؤْلِي،

allāhumma a‘ṭinī kulla su’lī,

O Allah, grant me every request of mine,

وَاقْضِ لِي حَوَائِجِي،

waqḍi lī ḥawā’ijī,

and fulfill my needs for me,

وَلاَ تَمْنَعْنِي الإجَابَةَ وَقَدْ ضَمِنْتَهَا لِي،

wa lā tamna‘nī al-ijābata wa qad ḍamintahā lī,

and do not withhold the answer from me, for You have guaranteed it to me,

وَلا تَحْجُبْ دُعَائِي عَنْكَ وَقَدْ أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ،

wa lā taḥjub du‘ā’ī ‘anka wa qad amartanī bih,

and do not veil my supplication from You, for You have commanded me to make it,

وَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِكُلِّ مَا يُصْلِحُنِيْ

wa umnun ‘alayya bi-kulli mā yuṣliḥunī

and favor me with everything that rectifies me

فِيْ دُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي

fī dunyāya wa ākhiratī

in my world and my Hereafter,

مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَـا نَسِيتُ،

mā dhakartu minhu wa mā nasīt,

of what I remembered of it and what I forgot,

أَوْ أَظْهَـرتُ أَوْ أَخْفَيْتُ،

aw aẓhartu aw akhfayt,

or revealed or concealed,

أَوْ أَعْلَنْتُ أَوْ أَسْرَرْتُ،

aw a‘lantu aw asrart,

or announced or kept secret.

وَاجْعَلْنِي فِي جَمِيعِ ذلِكَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِينَ بِسُؤَالِي إيَّـاكَ،

wa ij‘alnī fī jamī‘i dhālika mina al-muṣliḥīna bi-su’ālī iyyāk,

And make me, in all of that, among those who are rectified by asking You,
