Dua for Salat-e-Jafar Tayyar (2)
After finishing the prayer, recite the following dua
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي افْتَتِحُ ٱلْقَوْلَ بِحَمْدِكَ
O Allah, I commence my wording with declaring praise to You,
وَانْطِقُ بِٱلثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْكَ
I utter the words of tribute to You,
وَامَجِّدُكَ وَلاَ غَايَةَ لِمَدْحِكَ
I glorify You although Your glory is limitless,
وَاثْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَمَنْ يَبْلُغُ غَايَةَ ثَنَائِكَ وَامَدَ مَجْدِكَ
and I compliment You although none can ever compliment You as much as You deserve and none can ever attain the extent of Your glory!
وَانَّىٰ لِخَلِيقَتِكَ كُنْهُ مَعْرِفَةِ مَجْدِكَ
And how can Your creatures ever recognize Your glory [in its actual measure]!
وَايَّ زَمَنٍ لَمْ تَكُنْ مَمْدُوحاً بِفَضْلِكَ
And how can there be any moment for which You do not deserve praise due to Your favors
مَوْصُوفاً بِمَجْدِكَ
and in which You are not ascribed to glory
عَوَّاداً عَلَىٰ ٱلْمُذْنِبِينَ بِحِلْمِكَ
and in which You do not incessantly treat the sinful with Your forbearance?
تَخَلَّفَ سُكَّانُ ارْضِكَ عَنْ طَاعَتِكَ
Although the inhabitants of Your earth have fallen behind in being obedient to You,
فَكُنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَطُوفاً بِجُودِكَ
You have been kind to them out of Your munificence,
جَوَاداً بِفَضْلِكَ
munificent out of Your favors,
عَوَّاداً بِكَرَمِكَ
and liberal out of Your generosity.
يَا لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ ٱلْمَنَّانُ
O He save Whom there is no god! O All-benevolent!
