Dua Ya Aliyyu Ya Azim

اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد

allahumma salli'ala muhammadin wa aali muhammad

O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَظِيمُ،

ya `aliyyu ya `azimu

O the Most High; O the All-great;

يَا غَفُورُ يَا رَحِيمُ،

ya ghafuru ya rahimu

O the All-forgiving; O the All-merciful

أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ الْعَظِيمُ

antar-rabbul-`azimu

You are the All-great Lord

الَّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ

alladhi laysa kamithlihi shay`un

Like Whom there is nothing

وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ،

wahuwas-sami’ul-basiru

and He is the All-hearing, the All-aware;

وَهذَا شَهْرٌ عَظَّمْتَهُ وَكَرَّمْتَهُ

wahadha shahrun `azzamtahu wakarramtahu

and this is a month that You have glorified and ennbled,

وَشَرَّفْتَهُ وَفَضَّلْتَهُ عَلَى الشُّهُورِ،

washarraftahu wafaddaltahu `alash-shuhuri

and honored and preferred to the other months,

وَهُوَ الشَّهْرُ الَّذِي فَرَضْتَ صِيَامَهُ عَلَيَّ،

wahuwash-sharhul-ladhi faradta siyamahu `alayya

it is the month that You imposed upon me to observe fasting in it,

وَهُوَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ

wahuwa shahru ramadanal-ladhi anzalta fihil-qur`ana

it is the month of Ramadan during which You revealed the Qur'an

هُدَىً لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ

hudan lin-nasi wabayyinatin minal-huda wal-furqani

as guidance for people and clear proofs on true guidance and distinction (between the right and the wrong);

وَجَعَلْتَ فِيهِ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ

waja’alta fihi laylatal-qadri

and You decided the Grand Night to be in it,

وَجَعَلْتَهَا خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ،

waja’altaha khayran min alfi shahrin

and You have decided it to be more favorable that one thousand months.

فَيَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَلا يُمَنُّ عَلَيْكَ

fayadhal-manni wala yumannu `alayka

So, O the Lord of graces; and none can ever do favor to You;

مُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِفَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ فِي مَنْ تَمُنُّ عَلَيْهِ

munna `alayya bifakaki raqabati minan-nari fi man tamunnu `alayhi

Please do me a favor by releasing me from the Fire and by including me with those to whom You do this favor,

وَأَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ

wa-adkhilnil-jannata

and allow me to enter Paradise;

بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

birahmatika ya arhamar-rahimina

on account of Your mercy; O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
