أَكْرَمِ الْوُجُوهِ
the Most Generous
وَأَعَزّ ِ الْوُجُوهِ

الَّذي عَنَتْ لَهُ الْوُجُوهُ
before Whom everybody bows down in submission
وَخَضَعَتْ لَهُ الرّ ِقابُ

وَخَشَعَتْ لَهُ الأَصْواتُ
and all voices become humbled
وَوَجِلَتْ لَهُ الْقُلُوبُ مِنْ مَخافَتِكَ،
and all hearts tremble; through His fear
وَبِقُوَّتِكَ الَّتي بِها تُمْسِكُ السَّماءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَىٰ الأَرْضِ إلاّ بِإِذْنِكَ،
and I beseech You through Your Might, which prevents the heaven from falling on the earth except with Your permission,
وَتُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا،

وَبِكَلِمَتِكَ الَّتي خَلَقْتَ بِهَا السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ،
and through Your Word. By which You have created the heaven and the earth,
وَبِحِكْمَتِكَ الَّتي صَنَعْتَ بِهَا الْعَجائِبَ
and through Your Wisdom, with which You have created the wonders,
وَخَلَقْتَ بِهَا الظُّلْمَةَ

فأحْسَنْتَ تَدْبيرَها

وَسُلْطانِ النَّهارِ

making appearance of heavenly bodies regular and universal.
وَأَسْأَلُكَ اللّهُمَّ بِمَجْدِكَ الَّذي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ وَرَسُولَكَ
And I beseech You, O Allah, through Your Glory, with which You addressed Your slave and Your Messenger,
مُوسَىٰ بْنَ عِمْرانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ
Moses son of ‘Imran peace be on him,
فِي الْمُقَدَّسينَ
while he was in the company of angels
فَوْقَ إِحْساسِ الْكَرُّوبينَ
which address even the favourite cherubin could not ever hear,
فَوْقَ غَمائِمِ النُّورِ
above the clouds of light,
فَوْقَ تابُوتِ الشَّهادَةِ

في عَمُودِ النّارِ

وَفي طُورِ سَيْناءَ
on Mount Sinai,
وَفي جَبَلِ حُوريثَ

مِنْ جانِبِ الطُّورِ الأَيْمَنِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ
to the right of Taurus Mountain-through a tree;
وَفي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ
and again addressed him on the soil of Egypt,
بِتِسْعِ آياتٍ بَيّـِناتٍ،
after showing nine clear signs
وَيَوْمَ فَرَقْتَ لِبَني إِسْرآئيلَ الْبَحْرَ
and on the day You split the sea for the Children of Israel,
وَفِي الْمُنْبَجِساتِ الَّتي صَنَعْتَ بِهَا الْعَجائِبَ
and caused springs to flow from a stone, thereby displaying wonders of Your might
في بَحْرِ سُوفٍ،
in a deep sea;
وَعَقَدْتَ ماءَ الْبَحْرِ في قَلْبِ الْغَمْرِ كَالْحِجارَةِ،
and on the day when You solidified the water of the sea in the midst of the storm,
وَجاوَزْتَ بِبَني إِسْرائيلَ الْبَحْرَ
and caused the Children of Israel to pass by it,
وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُكَ الْحُسْنىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ بِما صَبَرُوا
and fulfilled Your excellent promises made to them because of their calmly endurance,
وَأَوْرَثْتَهُمْ مَشارِقَ الأَرْضِ وَمَغارِبَهَا
and made them the inheritors of the East and the West in the earth,
الَّتي بارَكْتَ فيها لِلْعالَمينَ،
wherein there are blessings for all the worlds;
وَأَغْرَقْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجُنُودَهُ وَمَراكِبَهُ فِي الْيَمّ ِ،
and You drowned Pharaoh and his armies and boats in the water.
و بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظيمِ الأَعْظَمِ
And (I beseech You) through Your name, which is the most great,
الأَعَزّ ِ الأَجَلّ ِ الأَكْرَمِ
the most majestic, the most magnificent, the most noble;

وَلِلْمُؤْمِنينَ بِوَعْدِكَ

وَلِلدّاعينَ بِأَسْمائِكَ فَأَجَبْتَ،
and through Your Names with which You accepted the prayers of supplications;
وَبِمَجْدِكَ الَّذي ظَهَرَ لِمُوسَىٰ بْنِ عِمْرانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ
and through Your Glory, which appeared to Moses, son of Imran, peace be upon him
عَلىٰ قُبَّةِ الرُّمّانِ
in Qubbat al-Rumman;
وَبِاياتِكَ الَّتي وَقَعَتْ عَلىٰ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ
and through Your Signs, which appeared on the soil of Egypt
بِمَجْدِ الْعِزَّةِ وَالْغَلَبَةِ
with great might and victory,
بِآياتٍ عَزيزَةٍ
with powerful signs
وَ بِسُلْطانِ الْقُوَّةِ
and with the display of full command
وَبِعِزَّةِ الْقُدْرَةِ
and great power;
وَبِشَأْنِ الْكَلِمَةِ التّامَّةِ،

وَأَهْلِ الدُّنْيا وَأَهْلِ الآخِرَةِ،

وَبِاسْتِطاعَتِكَ الَّتي أَقَمْتَ بِها عَلَىٰ الْعالَمينَ،
and through Your Power with which You dominate the worlds;
وَبِنُورِكَ الَّذي قَدْ خَرَّ مِنْ فَزَعِهِ طُورُ سَيْناءَ،
and (I beseech You) through Your Light, through fear of which Mount Sinai collapsed,
وَبِعِلْمِكَ وَجَلالِكَ وَكِبْرِيائِكَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ وَجَبَرُوتِكَ
through Your Knowledge, and Your Greatness and Majesty, and Your Unique Magnificence and Your Honour and (through) Your might,
الَّتي لَمْ تَسْتَقِلَّهَا الأَرْضُ
which the earth could not bear,
وَانْخَفَضَتْ لَهَا السَّماواتُ
and, for which the heavens bent down,
وَانْزَجَرَ لَهَا الْعُمْقُ الأَكْبَرُ،
and the great depths restrained themselves,
وَرَكَدَتْ لَهَا الْبِحارُ وَالأَنْهارُ،
and the seas and rivers became stable,
وَ خَضَعَتْ لَهَا الْجِبالُ
and to which the mountains made submission,
وَسَكَنَتْ لَهَا الأَرْضُ بِمَناكِبِها،

وَخَفَقَتْ لَهَا الرّ ِياحُ في جَرَيانِها،
and due to which the winds breathed,
وَخَمَدَتْ لَهَا النّيرانُ في أَوْطانِها،
and the flaming fires were extinguished in their places.
وَبِسُلْطانِكَ الَّذي عُرِفَتْ لَكَ بِهِ الْغَلَبَةُ دَهْرَ الدُّهُورِ

وَبِمَجْدِكَ الَّذي ظَهَرَ عَلىٰ طُورِ سَيْناءَ
and through Your Glory, which appeared on Mount Sinai,
فَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ وَرَسُولَكَ مُوسَىٰ بْنَ عِمْرانَ،
and through which You addressed Your slave and Your Mesenger; Moses, son of ‘Imran,
وَبِطَلْعَتِكَ في ساعيرَ
and through Your appearance in Sa’ir
وَظُهُورِكَ في جَبَلِ فارانَ

بِرَبَواتِ الْمُقَدَّسينَ
near Rabawat, which are clean and holy places,
وَجُنُودِ الْمَلائِكَةِ الصّافّينَ
when troops of heavenly angels were in rows,
وَخُشُوعِ الْمَلائِكَةِ الْمُسَبّـِحينَ،
and with the submissiveness of the angels praising You,
وَبِبَرَكاتِكَ الَّتي بارَكْتَ فيها عَلىٰ إِبْراهيمَ خَليلِكَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ
and with Your blessings with which You honoured Abraham, Your sincere friend, peace be upon him,
في أَمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّىٰ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ،

وَبارَكْتَ لِيَعْقُوبَ إِسْرائيلِكَ
and honoured Jacob, Your favoured slave,
في أَمَّةِ مُوسىٰ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلامُ،
among the followers of Moses, peace be on them both,
وَبارَكْتَ لِحَبيبِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّىٰ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ
and honoured Your intimate friend Muhammad, may the blessings of Allah be upon him and his Progeny,
في عِتْرَتِهِ وَذُرّ ِيَّتِهِ وَأَمَّتِهِ،
among his offspring and progeny, and his followers
اَللّـهُمَّ وَكَما غِبْنا عَنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ
O Allah! Just as were absent and didn’t witness these manifestations of Your glory,
وَآمَنّا بِهِ وَلَمْ نَرَهُ صِدْقاً وَعَدْلاً
yet we believed in their truth and justice, without having been eyewitnesses,
أَنْ تُصَلّـِيَ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
So we beseech You to send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhammad,
وَأَنْ تُبارِكَ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
and honour Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhamamad,
وَتَرَحَّمَ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
and have mercy on Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhammad,
كَأَفْضَلِ ما صَلَّيْتَ وَبارَكْتَ وَتَرَحَّمْتَ
with the blessings, honour, and mercy
عَلىٰ إِبْراهيمَ وَآلِ إِبْراهيمَ
you sent and bestowed on Abraham and the progeny of Abraham.
إِنَّكَ حَميدٌ مَجيدٌ
Surely You are Praiseworthy, Glorious,
فَعّالٌ لِما تُريدُ
the Doer of what You will.
وَأَنْتَ عَلىٰ كُلّ ِ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ
You are Powerful over all things
