O Allah make the Supreme Veil the life of my spirit

wa ruhahu sirra haqiqati

and his soul the secret of my reality

wa haqiqatahu jami‘a ‘awalimi

Inna-l-ladhi farada ‘alayka-l-qur’ana

Indeed He, Who ordained the Qur’an for you,

la-radduka ’ila ma‘ad [Holy Qur’an 28.85]

will return you to the station of your Ultimate Destiny.

Rabbana ‘atina min ladunka Rahmatan

O Lord grant us from Your Presence Mercy

Indeed Allah and His angels shower blessings upon the Prophet.

O you who believe,

shower blessings on him and greet him abundantly.

Salawatu-Llahi wa sallamuhu wa tahiyyatuhu wa Rahmatuhu

May the Sublime Blessings of Allah, His Peace, Greetings, Mercy,

wa barakatuhu ‘ala sayyidina Muhammadin

and Grace, be upon our Master Muhammad,

‘abdika wa nabiyyika wa rasulika an-Nabiyyi-l-Ummi

Your Servant, Prophet and Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet—

that You will cleanse us of all our impurities,

Wa tarfa‘una biha ‘ala-d-darajat

that You will raise us to the highest levels,
