There is no God but You, glory and praise be to You.

There is no God but You, glory and praise be to You. I have harmed myself, I dared (to sin) because of my ignorance, and I was confident in Your past remembrance of me, and Your continuous grace on me. O' God! How many ugly deeds You have covered! How many heavy misfortunes You have lifted! How many stumblings You have prevented! How many disliked (objects) You have removed! How many graceful praises, which I was not worthy of it, You have made spread! O' God!

My distress is great, my sorry plight exceeded the limits, my deeds are short, my chains kept me down, and my high desires withheld me from gaining what was at hand. The world has deceived me by its illusion, and my soul by its disloyalty, and my postponement. O' my Master! I ask You by Your might, not to let my ugly deeds and acts conceal my invocation from You.

Thus do not disgrace me by exposing what is secret of my acts which only You are aware of, and do not rush the punishment of what I have done secretly, such as, my ugly deeds, my offenses, my continuous negligence, my ignorance, my numerous whims, and my foolishness. O' God! By Your might, be compassionate to me in all circumstances, and have grace on me in all matters. My God and my Lord! Whom can I ask, beside You, to remove my disadvantages, and to look into my affairs?

My God and my Protector! You have laid on me rules (to follow), but I followed my own whims. I did not take protection from the sham of my enemy. Therefore, he was able to deceive me through my desire, and the divine decree favored him in this matter. Thus I have exceeded Your limits by violation of some of Your rules, and disobeyed some of Your commands. But Your praise is due on me in all these matters, and I have no argument against the judgment You passed on me.

Your judgment and Your test on me became indispensable. My God! I come to You after my faults and my wastefulness against myself, while apologizing, repentant, dejected, asking to discharge me from my sins, asking forgiveness, turning to You, confessing, yielding, and acknowledging my mistakes. I do not find any way out from what I have done, nor any place to refuge to turn to, about my affairs, except Your acceptance of my apology, and Your entering me in to the range of Your mercy. O' my God!

Then accept my apology, have mercy on my intense disadvantage, and free me from the solid chains. O' my Lord! Have mercy on my weak body, the thinness of my skin, and my delicate bones.
