Guard them as they guarded me in my infancy.

Guard them as they guarded me in my infancy. O Lord, whatever pain they may have received from me, whatever displeasure may have been caused to them by me or whatever duty owed to them that was left unperformed by me, let that be a pardon of their sins, and exaltation of their rank and an addition to their good deeds. O Thou, who does change evil deeds into multiplied good deeds!

O Lord, that speech in which they were unjust to me, or that action in which they were extravagant against me, or such of my claims as they failed to satisfy, or such debts as they failed to discharge, verily, I forgive it to them and favour them therewith. I turn unto Thee with a view to removing the penalty thereof from them.

For verily I do not accuse them falsely of having done something to my hurt, nor do I deem them negligent in doing good to me, nor do I despite the care they took of me, O Lord! Because their claim upon me is so great, their benevolence to me so magnificent and I am as highly obliged to them, that I cannot fairly meet, it nor repay them as they deserve. O my God, how can I repay them for their tedious employment in bringing me up? For their hard labour in guarding me.

For their self-denied to lavish comfort upon me! Alas! Alas (I cannot). Their claim can never be satisfied by me, nor can I perceive what is due from me unto them nor can I fully discharge the duty of serving them! Therefore, bless Muhammad and his descendants. Help me, O best of all those whose assistance is solicited. Give me grace, O Greatest of Guides, towards whom people turn.

Do not let me be of those who wronged their fathers and mothers on the day wherein “every soul shall be paid what it has merited and they shall not be treated with injustice. O lord, bless Muhammad and his descendants. Distinguish my parent, in particular with the best distinctions which Thou hast conferred upon the fathers and mothers of Thy true believing servants, O Most Merciful.

O lord, do not let me forget to remember them after my ritual prayers, at every time of my night and at every hour of my day. O God, bless Muhammad and his descendants. Forgive me for the sake of my prayers for them. Grant a sure pardon to them because of their goodness to me. Be perfectly satisfied with them through my intercession for them. Bring them by Thy Mercy into places of safety. O God, If Thy Pardon for them has preceded (my prayers), then make them intercessors for me.
