Complete Translations (English & Urdu)
“O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, grant me health among those You have granted health, take me into Your care among those You have taken into Your care, bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed. For indeed, You decree and none can decree over You. Indeed, he whom You take as an ally is not humiliated, nor is he whom You take as an enemy honored. Blessed are You, our Lord, and Exalted.”
“اے اللہ! مجھے ہدایت دے ان لوگوں میں جنہیں تو نے ہدایت دی، اور مجھے عافیت دے ان میں جنہیں تو نے عافیت دی، اور میری سرپرستی فرما ان میں جن کی تو نے سرپرستی فرمائی، اور جو کچھ تو نے مجھے دیا اس میں برکت عطا فرما، اور مجھے اس چیز کے شر سے بچا جس کا تو نے فیصلہ فرمایا، کیونکہ تو ہی فیصلہ فرماتا ہے اور تیرے خلاف کوئی فیصلہ نہیں کیا جا سکتا۔ اور بیشک وہ شخص کبھی ذلیل نہیں ہو سکتا جس کا تو دوست بن جائے، اور وہ شخص کبھی عزت نہیں پا سکتا جس سے تو دشمنی رکھے۔ اے ہمارے رب! تو بابرکت اور نہایت بلند ہے۔”
