Supplication

O' my Allah! Thou art
the most attached to Thy lovers and the most ready to assist those
who trust in Thee. Thou seest them in their concealments, knowest
whatever is in their consciences, and art aware of the extent of
their intelligence. Consequently, their secrets are open to Thee
and their hearts are eager from Thee. If loneliness bores them,
Thy remembrance gives them solace. If distresses befall them, they
beseech Thy protection, because they know that the reins of
affairs are in Thy hands, and that their movements depend upon Thy
commands .

O' my Allah! if I am
unable to express my request or cannot see my needs, then guide me
towards my betterment and take my betterment and take my heart
towards the correct goal. This is not against (the mode of) Thy
guidance nor anything new against Thy ways of support.

O' my Allah! deal with
me through Thy forgiveness and do not deal with me according to
Thy justice.
