O Lord of all
the worlds!
It is beyond me
to offer You gratitude for all Your favours.
You are most
Merciful and Compassionate,
and the bounties
that You have conferred upon me are countless.
Forgive me my
sins, lest I am ruined.
Fill my heart
with sincere love for You,
so that I may receive life.
Cover my faults
and allow me to perform such deeds
which become the
source of Your pleasure.
I seek refuge in
Your noble countenance
lest your
punishment befalls me.
Have mercy and
save me
from the
calamities of this world and the hereafter.
For all grace
and compassion is in Your hand.
Ameen, Summa Ameen.
