Have mercy on the groan of the groaning and the yearn of the yearning.

Have mercy on the groan of the groaning and the yearn of the yearning. O’ my Allah! We have come out to Thee when the years of drought have crowed over us like thin camels, and clouds have disappointed us. Thou art the hope for the afflicted and succour for the seeker.

We call thee when the people have lost hopes, cloud has been denied and cattle have perished, that do not punish us for our deeds and do not call to account for our sins, and spread Thy mercy over us through raining clouds, rain fed blossoming, amazing vegetation, and heavy down pours with which you enliven what have died and restor with it all what has been lost. O’ my Allah, give rain from Thee which should be life giving.

Satisfying, thorough, wide-scattered, purified, blissful, plentiful and invigorating. Its vegetation should be exuberant, its branches full of fruits and its leaves green. With it Thou reinvigorates the weak among Thy slaves, and revive the dead among Thy cities. O’ my Allah!

Irrigate us with which our high lands get covered with green herbage, streams get flowing, our sides grow green, our fruits thrive, our cattle prosper, our farflung areas get watered and our dry areas get its benefit, with Thy vast blessing! Backbiting Preventing the backbiting of people: Those who do not commit sins should take pity on sinners and other disobedient people. Gratefulness to Allah should be mostly their indulgence.

How it would be with the absent who blames his absent brother and disgraced him with his affliction. O’ slave of Allah! Do not be quick in exposing anyone’s sin for he may be forgiven for it and do not feel yourself safe even for a small sin as you may be punished for it! Today Goes and Tomorrow Comes Know, O’ slaves of Allah! That your oneself is a watcher over you; your limbs are watchmen and truthful vigil-keepers who preserve your actions and the numbers of your breaths.

The gloom of a dark night cannot conceal you from them, nor can closed doors hide you from them. Surely tomorrow is close to today. Today departs with all that it has and tomorrow will com following it. It is as though everyone of you has reached the place of his solitude. So what a house of loneliness a residence of solitary and an isolated exile! Alas!
