Du’a Nāṣiri

Translation:

O You to Whose mercy one flees!

You in Whom the one in need and distress seeks refuge!

O Master, You Whose pardon is near!

O You Who help all who call on Him!

There is nothing more majestic than Your immense power

and nothing mightier than the might of Your force.

Kings are humbled to the might of Your domain

 and You lower or elevate whomever You wish.

The entire affair returns to You,

and the release or conclusion of all matters is in Your hand.

We have presented our affair before You,

and we complain to You of our weakness.

Have mercy on us, O You Who know our weakness

and continue to be merciful.

Look at what we have experienced from people!

Our state among them is as You see.

Our troops are few and our wealth is little.

Our power has declined among groups.

They have weakened our solidarity and strength

 and diminished our numbers and our preparation.

O You Whose kingdom cannot be pillaged,

give us shelter by Your rank which is never overcome!

O Succour of the poor, we trust in You!

O Cave of the weak, we rely on You!

You are the One on Whom We call to remove our adversities,

and You are the One we hope will dispel our sorrows.

You have such concern for us that we cannot hope

for protection which comes through any other door.

We rush to the door of Your bounty

and You honour the one You enrich by Your gift.

You are the One Who guides when we are misguided.

You are the One who pardons when we slip.

You have full knowledge of all You have created

and encompassing compassion, mercy and forbearance.

There is no one in existence more lowly than we are

nor poorer and more in need of what You have than us.

O you of vast kindness! O You Whose good encompasses all mankind,

and no other is called on!

O Saviour of the drowning! O Compassionate!

O rescuer of the lost! O Gracious Bestower!

Words are lacking, O Hearing, O Answerer!

The cure is difficult, O Swift! O Near!

To you, our Lord, we have stretched out our hands

 and from You, our Lord, we hope for kindness.

Be kind to us in what You decree

and let us be pleased with what pleases You.

O Allah, change the state of hardship

for ease and help us with the wind of victory.

Give us victory over the aggressors

and contain the evil among those who asked for it.

Overpower our enemy, O Mighty, with a force

which disorders them and crushes them.

Overturn what they desire and make their efforts fail,

defeat their armies and unsettle their resolve.

O Allah, hasten Your revenge among them

 They cannot stand before Your power.

O Lord, O Lord, Our protection is by Your love,

and by the might of Your help.

Be for us and do not be against us.

Do not leave us to ourselves for a single instant.

We have no power of defence

nor have we any device to bring about our benefit.

We do not aim for other than Your noble door,

we do not hope for other than Your encompassing bounty.

Thoughts only hope for Your blessing

by the simple fact that you say ‘Be” and it is

O Lord, O Lord, arrival is by You

 to what You have and seeking the means is by You!

O Lord, You are our high pillar of support!

O Lord, You are our impregnable fortress.

O Lord, O Lord, give us security

when we travel and when we remain.

O Lord, preserve our crops and herds,

and preserve our trade and make our numbers more!

Make our land a land of the religion

 and a repose for the needy and the poor.

Give us force among the lands as well as respect,

impregnability and a polity.

Appoint it its might from the protected secret,

and grant it protection by the beautiful veiling.

By sad, qaf and nun,

place a thousand veils in front of it.

By the rank of the light of Your noble Face

and the rank of the secret of Your immense kingdom,

And the rank of ‘la ilaha illa’llah’

and the rank of the Best of Creation, O our Lord,

And the rank of that by which the Prophets prayed to You

and the rank of that by which the Saints pray to you,

And the rank of the power of the Qutb and the Awtad

and the rank of the Jaras and Afrad,

And the rank of the Akhyar and the rank of Nujaba’

 and the rank of the Abdal and the rank of the Nuqaba’,

And the rank of every one worshipping and doing dhikr

and the rank of everyone praising and giving thanks,

And the rank of everyone whose worth You elevated

both those who are concealed and those whose renown has spread,

And the ranks of the established ayats of the Book

and the rank of the Greatest Supreme Name,

O Lord, O Lord, make us stand as fuqara’

before You, weak and lowly.

We call to You with the supplication of the one

who calls on a noble Lord who does not turn aside those who call.

Accept our supplication with Your pure grace,

with the acceptance of someone who sets aside the fair reckoning.

Bestow on us the favour of the Generous,

and show us the kindness of the Forbearing.

O Merciful, extend Your mercy over us

and spread Your blessing over us, O Generous.

Choose for us in all our words

and select for us in all our actions.

O Lord, make it our habit to cling and devote ourselves

to the resplendent Sunna.

Confine our manifold desires to You

and grant us full and complete gnosis.

Combine both knowledge and action for us,

and direct our hopes to the Abiding Abode.

O Lord, make us follow the road of the fortunate

and make our seal the Seal of the martyrs, O Lord!

Make our sons virtuous and righteous,

scholars with action and people of good counsel.

O God, remedy the situation of the people

and, O God, make the reunification easy.

O Lord, grant Your clear victory to the one

who takes charge and empowers the religion,

And help him, O You Who are forbearing, and help his party

and fill his heart with what will make him pleasing to you.

O Lord, help our Muhammadan religion

and make it end mighty as it began.

Preserve it, O Lord, through the preservation of the scholars,

and raise the minaret of its light to heaven.

Pardon, grant well-being, make up for our deficiency

and forgive our sins and the sins of every Muslim, O our Lord.

O Lord, bless the Chosen one

with your perfect prayer of blessing.

Your prayer is that which grants success in his affair

 as befits his lofty worth.

Then bless his noble family and glorious Companions

and those who have followed them.

Praise belongs to Allah by whose praise

 those with an aim completely fulfil that aim.

حزب النصر
Hizb al-Nasr

اللهم بسطوة جبروت قهرك، وبسرعة إغاثة نصرك، وبغيرتك لانتهاك حرماتك، وحمايتك لمن احتمى بآياتك،
Allahumma bisatwati jabarouti qahrika, wa bisorati ighathati nasrika, wa bighayratika li ntihaki horumaika, wa himayatika liman ihtama bi ayatik.
O Allah, by the force of the absolute power with which You triumph, and the quickness of Your succour when You aid to victory, and Your jealousy at the violation of things You have made sacrosanct, and by Your protection of him who seeks safety in Your verses:

نسألك يا الله يا سميع يا قريب يا مجيب يا سريع يا منتقم يا شديد البطش يا جبار يا قهار يا من لا يعجزه قهر الجبابرة ولا يعظم عليه هلاك المتمردة من الملوك والأكاسرة أن تجعل كيد من كادنا في نحره ومكر من مكر بنا عائدا عليه، وحفرة من حفر لنا واقعا فيها ومن نصب لنا شبكة الخداع، اجعلها ياسيدي مساقا إليها ومصادا فيها وأسيرا لديها،
Nas’aloka ya Allah,ya Samee’o,ya Qareebo, ya Saree’o, ya Montaqimo, ya Shadeeda l-batshi, ya Jabbaro, ya Qahhar, ya man la yo’jizohu qahro l-jababirati mina l-molooki wa l-akasirah, an taj’ala kayda man kadana fi nahrihi, wa makra man mkara bina ‘a’idan ‘alayhi, wa hofrata man hafara lana waqi’an fiha, wa man nasaba lana shabakata l-khida’i j’alho ya sayyidi mosaqan fiha, wa mosadan fiha, wa ‘aseeran ladayha.
I ask You, O Allah, O All-near, O All-hearing, O All-answering, O Ever-swift, O Vengeful, O Mighty of Assault: O Compeller, O Invincible, O You who are undeterred by the might of tyrants, and to whom the destruction of rebellious traitors, of kings and caesars, is very easy: make the trap of him who sets one for me cut his own throat; the plot of him who plots against me return against him; and make him who digs a pit for me fall in it himself; And he who spreads a web of treachery for me, make him, My Lord, driven to it and caught in it.

اللهم بحق كهيعص اكفنا هم العدا ولقهم الردا واجعلهم لكل حبيب فدا. وسلط عليهم عاجل النقمة في اليوم والغدا.
Allahomma bihaqqi Kaf ha ya ‘ayn sad ikfina hamma l-ida. Wa laqqihimo r-rada. Wa j’alhom likolli habibin fida. Wa sallit ‘alayhim ‘ajila n-naqmati fi l-yawmi wa l-ghada.
O Allah, by the right of Kaf Ha Ya ‘Ayn Sad relieve us of the worry of enemies, let them meet with death, make them the ransom of every beloved, and loose upon them a speedy vengeance, day and night.

اللهم بدد شملهم. اللهم فرق جمعهم. اللهم أقلل عددهم. اللهم فل حدهم. اللهم اجعل الدائرة عليهم. اللهم وأوصل العذاب إليهم. اللهم أخرجهم عن دائرة الحلم. واسلبهم مدد الإمهال. وغل أيديهم وأرجلهم واشدد على قلوبهم ولا تبلغهم الآمال.
Allahomma baddid shamlahom. Allahomma farriq jam’ahom. Allahomma aqlil adadahom. Allahomma folla haddahom. Allahomma j’ali d-da’irata ‘alayhim. Allahomma awsili l-athaba ilayhim. Allahomma akhrijhom min da’irati l-hilm. Wa slobhom madada l-imhal. Wa gholla aydeehim wa arjolohom, wa shdod ‘ala qoloobihim, wa la toballighohomo l-a’amal.
O Allah, scatter their company; O Allah shatter their unity; O Allah, lessen their number; O Allah, blunt their edge; O Allah, turn fate against them; O Allah, unleash torment upon them; O Allah, banish them from the circle of clemency, and strip them of the benefit of postponement, and fetter their hands and feet, and blind their hearts, and give them no hope.

اللهم مزقهم كل ممزق مزقته لأعدائك انتصارا لأنبيائك ورسلك وأوليائك
Allahomma mazzikhom kolla momazzaqin mazzaqtaho li ‘a’daaika n-tisaran li anbiya’ika wa rosolika wa awliya’k.
O Allah, rend them utterly to pieces, as You have rent Your enemies, to win the day for Your prophets, messengers and You beloved ones.

اللهم انتصر لنا انتصارك لأحبابك على أعدائك (3)
Allahomma n-tassir lana n-tisaraka li ahbabika ‘ala a’daa’ik. (3)
O Allah, give us the victory You give to those You love over Your enemies. (3)

(اللهم لا تمكن الأعداء فينا ولا تسلطهم علينا بذنوبنا (3
Allahomma la tomakkini l-a’daa’a fina, wa la tosallithom ‘alayna bi-thonoobina (3)
O Allah, do not let Your enemies defeat us, nor give them power over us because of our sins. (3)

حمعسق حمايتنا مما نخاف.
Hamim ‘Ayn Sin Qaf himayatona mimma nakhaf.
Ha Mim ‘Ayn Sin Qaf is our protection from what we fear.

اللهم قنا شر الأسواء ولاتجعلنا محلا للبلواء. اللهم أعطنا أمل الرجاء وفوق الأمل.
Allahomma qina sharra l-aswa’i, wa la taj’alna mahallan lil balwa. Allahomma a’tina amala r-raja’i wa fawqa l-amal.
O Allah, shield us from the evil of iniquities, and make us not a place of tribulation. O Allah, give us cause to hope, and more than hope.

O You from whose favor we ask of His favor that it be fast, fast, fast. O my God, An answer, An answer.

يا من أجاب نوحا في قومه، يا من نصر إبراهيم على أعدائه، يا من رد يوسف على يعقوب. يا من كشف ضر أيوب. يا من أجاب دعوة زكريا. يا من قبل تسبيح يونس بن متى.
Ya man ajaba Nouhan fi qawmih, ya man nasara Ibrahim ‘ala a’daa’ih, ya man radda Yousofa ‘ala Ya’qoob, ya man kashafa dhorra Ayyoub, ya man ajaba da’wata Zakariyya, ya man qabila tasbeeha Younosa bni Matta.
O You who answered Noah about his people. O You who made Abraham triumphant over his foes. O You who reunited Joseph with Jacob. O You who lifted the affliction of Job. O You who answered the prayer of Zachariah. O You who accepted the praises of Jonah son of Amittai.

نسألك بأسرار هذه الدعوات أن تقبل ما به دعوناك، وأن تعطينا ما سألناك. أنجز لنا وعدك الذي وعدته لعبادك المؤمنين.
Nas’aloka bi-asrari hathihi d-da’awat an taqbala ma bihi da’awnak, wa an to’tiyana ma sa’alnak Anjiz lana wa’daka l-athi wa’adtaho li ‘ibadika l-mo’mineen.
O Allah, by the secrets of those supplications, beseech You to accept our supplications, and give us what we have asked, and keep Your promise You have given Your believing servants.

لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين.
La ilaha illa anta, sobhanaka, inni konto mina dhalimeen.
“There is no god but You. Exalted is Your perfection; verily I was of the wrongdoers”

انقطعت آمالنا وعزتك إلا منك، وخاب رجاؤنا وحقل إلا فيك.
Inqata’at aamalona, wa izzatoka, illa mink. Wa khaba raja’ona, wa haqqoka, illa feek.
Our wishes come to nothing- I swear by Your might- except from You; and our hopes are dashed- I swear by Your right- except in You.

إن أبطأت غارة الأرحام وابتعدت، فأقرب الشيء منا غارة الله.
In abta’at gharato l-arahami wa bta’adat, fa aqrabo sh-shay’i minna gharato l-Lah.
If the rescue raid of kinsmen be slow and far off, the nearest thing to us is the rescue raid of Allah.

يا غارة الله جدي السير مسرعة في حل عقدتنا.
Ya gharata l-Lahi, jiddi s-sayra mosri’atan li halli ‘oqadatina.
O raid of Allah, fly with haste to end our plight.

يا غارة الله عدت العادون وجاروا ورجون الله مجيرا.
Ya gharata l-Lahi, ‘adati l-‘adoon wa jarou, wa rajawna l-Laha mojeera.
O raid of Allah, wrongdoers have assailed us and transgressed; and Allah we seek as protector.

وكفى بالله وليا وكفى بالله نصيرا.
Wa kafa bi l-Lahi waliyan wa kafa bi l-Lahi naseera.
And Allah suffices as friend; and Allah suffices as helper.

وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل
Wa hasbona l-Laho wa ni’ma l-wakeel.
“Allah suffices us and is best to rely on”

ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم
Wa la hawla wa la qowata illa bi l-Lahi l-Aliyyi l-Adheem.
“There is no power or strength except through Allah, the High, the All-great”

سلام على نوح في العالمين
Salamon ‘ala Nouhin fi l-‘alameen.
Peace be with Noah among people.

استجب لنا آمين.
Istajib lana, ameen.
Answer us. Ameen.

فقطع دابر القوم الذين ظلموا والحمد لله رب العالمين
Fa qoti’a dabiro l-qawmi l-latheen dhalamoo, wa l-hamdo li-Lahi rabbi l-‘alameen.
“the wrongdoing folk were extirpated, and praise be to Allah Lord of the Worlds”

وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم.
Wa salla l-Laho ‘ala sayyidina Mohammadin wa ‘ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallam.
Allah bless our liegelord Mohammad, and his folk and Companions, and truly give them peace.

Good news to you, my friends! News of nearness and drawing near!
You are gathered in security As long as you are in the party of Allah.
Good news to you, my masters! Good news to you, my lovers!
Good news about what is coming —You are in the mercy of Allah.
Your gathering is the source of mercy, Your gathering has a wisdom in it
Whoever loves you, rises — yours is the pleasure of Allah
Pleased with Divine Pleasure And Mercy as well as Forgiveness.
You are the party of the Merciful, You are the friends of Allah.
Your path will not pass away, Your lover will not lose out.
By Allah! You are manifest, In all the creation of Allah
You stood at His door, You were annihilated in His remembrance
Good news to you of His nearness! You are in the Presence of Allah!
Among you is the seeker and the attracted, among you is the lover and beloved —
The veils have departed from you —among you is he who unifies Allah.
Among you are The Suns of the Path, among you are The Men of realization
The annihilated and the lover are among you, among you is he who Knows Allah
Among you are the foremost Men, among you are the lords of presence are among you —
one from whom the veil has lifted, sees nothing but Allah.
Good news for him, he has obtained his desire! Good news for him, He has the meaning!
By Allah! He was accepted in the knowledge of Allah!
The full moon of full moons gave me good news, of victory with manifestation —
Our lover in happiness, surrounded by the kindness of Allah.
By Allah, he spoke the most eloquent word
We helped you in the Assembly, You are in the security of Allah.
The spirit of the Master gave me good news, Al-Buzidi, the source of assistance
When he spoke to me with discernment, after swearing by Allah.
Your lover is secure, your murid is safeguarded.
You are the springs of the Merciful, in your hands is the secret of Allah.
in your hands is the proclamation, yours is the lifting of the veils
You are the lords of presence, You are the friends of Allah.
Mine is the permission of disposal through that secret most subtle
Oh what an excellent obligation, for the pleased, may he be rewarded by Allah
His secret is in our gathering, His wine is in our cup
His knowledge is in our speech. By Allah! We are not other than him.
Our overflowing is from his overflowing, our secret is from his secret.
Our branch is from his root, Oh you who does not understand his meaning.
Secretly and openly, I addressed the people of the journey.
Whoever in my age, Comes to us, finds his desire.
I have counseled all the servants, especially the people of the cities.
Whoever seeks with discernment, he is desiring Allah.
He comes, even if just to test it, and he has a portion from us.
This is a near road, which has come to us from the bounty of Allah.
We give him counsel in the Path, and he makes me a companion in it
We show him the meaning of realization, purely for the face of Allah.
He confirms me in a matter of days days, we do not seek years from him.
If he obtains the desire, He will be a servant of Allah.
I have a cure for creation, I have what effaces otherness
We do not wish to rob with it, for we are rich from the bounty of Allah
I am rich with the goal, what do I or denial have?
We do not see in existence, anyone manifest save Allah.
Sometimes we are annihilated in Him, and we have that meaning.
Sometimes we are rich in Him, free from all creation of Allah.
Sometimes He appears from me, He distances me from my being.
Who am I and where am I, in the resplendence of the essence of Allah?
If not for the witnessed Messenger, if not for the Worshipped’s lover,
We would have transgressed the limits, and divulged the secret of Allah.
May the Lord bless him, and with good pleasure manifest
upon all the Companions, and his family and whoever follows him.

بشراكمُ خلاني              بالقرب والتداني
جمعكم في أمان        ما دمتم في حزب الله
بشراكمُ ساداتي               بشراكم أحبتي
بشرتكم بالآتي           أنتم في رحمة الله
جمعكم عين الرحمة           جمعكم فيه حكمة
ومَن حبكم سمى         عليكم رضوان الله
الرضى مع الرضوان      والرحمة كذا الغفران
أنتمُ حزب الرحمن              أنتم أولياء الله
طريقكم لا تغور             محبكم لا يبور
تالله لكم ظهور          في جميع خلق الله
وقفتم في بابه              فنيتم في ذكره
بشراكم بقربه          أنتم في حضرة الله
منكم سالك ومجذوب        منكم حبيب ومحبوب
عنكم زالت الحجب             فيكم من وحد الله
فيكم شموس الطريق           فيكم رجال التحقيق
منكم فاني وعاشق            فيكم من عرف الله
فيكم رجال الصدور         فيكم أرباب الحضور
من زالت عنه الستور          لا يرى ما سوى الله
بُشراه نال المنى             بشراه حاز المعنى
والله لقد كانا              مقبولا في علم الله
بشرني بدر البدور            بالنصر مع الظهور
محبنا في سرور              محفوظا بلطف الله
والله لقد قالا                   بأفصح المقالا
نصرناك في الملا                أنت في أمان الله
بشرني روح الأستاذ              البوزيدي ذو المدد
إذ قال لي باجتهاد                  بعد أن قسمْ بالله
محبكم في أمان               مريدكم في ضمان
أنتم عيون الرحمن                      بيدكم سر الله
بيدكمُ المنشور                 لكم ترفع الستور
أنتم أرباب الحضور                    أنتم أولياء الله
أذن لكم بالتصريف            في ذاك السر اللطيف
فيا حبذا التكليف                بالرضى جزاه الله

سره في جمعنا                   خمره في كأسنا 

علمه في نطقنا                     تالله لسنا سواه
فيضنا من فيضه                      سرنا من سره
فرعنا من أصله               يا من لا يفهم معناه
في السر وفي الجهر               خاطبتُ أهل السير
فمن كان في عصري                    يأتنا يجد مناه
نصحت كل العباد             خصوصا أهل البلاد
فمن كان في اجتهاد                    طالبا يريد الله
يأتي ولو بالتجريب                   فله منا نصيب
هذا مسلكٌ قريب                أتانا من فضل الله
ننصحْ له في الطريق                 يجعلني له رفيق
نريه معنى التحقيق                 خالصا لوجه الله
يوافقني في أيام              لا نطلب منه أعوام
فإن حصّل المرام                    يكون عبدا لله
عندي للخلق الدوا             عندي لمحو السوى
لا نرجو به سطوة                  غنيٌّ بفضل الله
أنا غني بالمقصود              ما لي وما للجحود
فلا نرى في الوجود                متجلّي سوى الله
تارةً فيه نفنى                وبذا المعنى كنا
تارةً به نغنى              عن جميع خلق الله
تارة يظهرْ عنّي              يغيبني عن كوني
من أنا ومن أيني؟              في تجلي ذات الله
لولا الرسول المشهود           لولا الحبيب المعبود
لتهنا عن الحدود                 وبحنا بسر الله
عليه المولى صلى               وبالرضى تجلى
على الصحابةْ جملة               والآل ومن والاه

This poem by the Algerian Shaykh Aḥmad al-‘Alāwī  (d.1934) is commonly sung after recitations of the Qur’an in the Maghreb, France, and other areas to which his Tariqah has spread:

Translation:

Oh Lord, by your kindness, O my hope

be kind to us, and grant us deliverance

We ask You, O Lord, by the Qur’an

and what is in it, and by the seven oft-recited (the Fatihah)

And by him who brought it, and who shared it

and exalted its verses/signs and its love

And led us to our love of the Qur’an

and made it sweeter to us than all else

You revealed it and ordered its compilation

preserve it, O Master, as you have said

For some others have tried to eliminate/leave it

will you allow this, O Lord? by its act

You will never be pleased to allow us to leave the Qur’an

because it is Religion with Faith

And its worth for us surpasses

all existence and all that is contained therein

For the Qur’an is the essence of reality

and the sacred law and the firm handhold

You know our love of the Qur’an

and how it dwells in our hearts and on our tongues

It is intermingled with our blood and our flesh

and our veins and bones and all that is in us

O Lord, by its right, do not afflict us

in our religion, O Lord, do not try us

O Lord, make your religion for us a joy

for one knocking at your door, full of hope

Or the stranger, O Lord, far from his family

who is suffering from separation from his loved ones

Save him o Lord, before his death

and prolong his life for us

Make our homes homes of safety

and preserve us from every deception and distress

And help us, O Lord, by your Spirit

and allow us, O our Lord, to fulfill your command

And have mercy on us, great and small

and safeguard those whom you see are bewildered

And make right for us our worldly and spiritual affairs

and remove the pain of afflictions and poverty

And forgive, O Lord, one who supplicates with our supplication

and be for us and for all our intimates

Raise us to the witnessing of beauty

and from it to the secrets of perfection

And bless, O Lord, with a blessing worthy

of the Chosen One, and upon his family

And his companions, and the Helpers and Those who followed

then all praise to God, Lord of the Worlds

يا ربّ بلطفك يا مرتجى
ألطف بينا وهيئ لنا فرجا
سألناك يا ربّ بالقرآن
وما فيه وبسبع المثاني
وبالّذي أتى به وبثّه
وبجّل آياته وحبّه.
وأمر بحبّنا القرآن
فكان أطيب لنا ممّا كان.
نزّلته وبجمعه أمرتا
فلتحفظه يا مولانا كما قلت.
فقد حاول الغير على تركه
وهل تسمح يا مولانا بفعله.
فلا نرضى بتركنا القرآن
لأنّه الّدين مع الإيمان.
فقدره عندنا لا يساويه
كل الوجود وما احتو ى عليه.
فالقرآن هو عين الحقيقة
و الشّريعة والعروة الوثيقة.
أنت تعلم بحبّنا القرآن
وكيف حلّ القلب واللّسان.
فامتزج بدمنا ولحمنا
و العروق و العظام وما فينا.
أ يا ربّ بحقّه لا تفجأنا
في ديننا يا مولانا لا تفتنا.
يا ربّ اجعل لدينك فرجا

إنّه واقف ببابك يرتجى.

آو الغريب يا ربّ لأهله
قد ألّم الفراق في أحبابه.
أدركه يا ربّ قبل وفاته
و زد لنا يا ربّ في حياته.
واجعل ديارنا ديار آمنة
و حفظنا من كلّ مكر ومحنة.
وأيّدنا يا مولانا بروحك
و وفّقنا يا ربّنا لأمرك.
وارحم منّا الكبار والصّغار
و أمّنهم فتراهم حياّرى.
وأصلح لنا دنيانا مع الدّين
وافج كرب المكروب والمسكين.
واغفر ربّ لمن دعا بدعوانا
وكن لنا ولجميع خلاّنا.
وانهض بنا لشهود الجمال
ومن له بأسرار الكمال.
وصلّ ياربّ صلاة تليق
بالمصطفى وعلى الآل تصدق.
وصحبه وأنصاره والتّابعين
ثمّ الحمد لله ربّ العالمين.
