Also recited after Tahajjud prayer
In the name of Allah, The Beneficent, the Merciful
O Allah bless Muhammad and his family
I whisper unto You O One Who is present in every place so that You may hear my
call for surely my sin is excessive and my shame is less My Master, O my Master
which of the terrifying states shall I remember and which of them shall I forget
for if there was nothing except death it would be enough then what about after
death greater and much worse? My master O my Master up to when and till when
will I say, I am to blame, again and again, but then You do not find any truth
or loyalty in me? I call for help and I call for help, O Allah from desires
which have overpowered me and from the enemy which has pounced on me and from
the world which attracts me and from the soul that leads towards evil except
that on which my Lord has mercy (12:53)
My master O my master if You have had mercy on the likes of me then have mercy
on me and if You have accepted from the likes of me then accept from me O One
Who accepts the early morning prayer accept me, O One who, I still know only
good from Him O One who nourishes me with blessings morning and evening have
mercy on me when I come to You alone, my glance fixed on You my actions carried
on my neck When all of creation will withdraw away from me yes, even my father
and mother and those for whom I worked and struggled then if You will not have
mercy on me who will have mercy on me who will give me solace from the
loneliness of the grave and who will make me speak when I am alone with my deeds
and when You will ask me about what You know better than me? Then if I say yes
(to my sins) where will be the escape from Your Justice? And if I say I did not
commit it You will say was I not a witness over you? So (I beseech) Your
Forgiveness Your Pardon O my master before the wearing of the clothes of Hell
Your Forgiveness Your Pardon O my Master before the Hell and the Fire Your
Forgiveness Your Forgiveness O my Master before the hands are tied to the necks
O the most Merciful and the best of Forgivers
