Dua After Isha Salaah

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّ حْمٰـنِ الرَّ حِيمِ 

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي عِلْمٌ بِمَوْضِعِ رِزْقِي

O Allah! verily, I lack acquaintance with the place of my sustenance;

وَإِنَّمَا أَطْلُبُهُ بِخَطَرَاتٍ تَخْطُرُ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِي

rather, I am seeking it owing to ideas that come upon my mind.

فَأَجُولُ فِي طَلَبِهِ ٱلْبُلْدَانَ

I consequently wander in countries searching for it.

فَأَنَا فِيمَا أَنَا طَالِبٌ كَٱلْحَيْرَانِ

By doing such, I am as confused as the confounded,

لاَ أَدْرِي أَفِي سَهْلٍ هَوُ أَمْ فِي جَبَلٍ

since I do not know whether my sustenance lies in a plain, on a mountain,

أَمْ في أَرْضٍ أَمْ في سَمَاءٍ

on the ground, in the air,

أَمْ فِي بَرٍّ أَمْ فِي بَحْرٍ

on lands, in seas,

وَعَلَىٰ يَدَيْ مَنْ

at whose hands,

وَمِنْ قِبَلِ مَنْ

or who the source of it is.

وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ عِلْمَهُ عِنْدَكَ

I have full knowledge that You know all these,

وَ أَسْبَابَهُ بِيَدِكَ

the causes of them are in Your Hands,

وَ أَنْتَ ٱلَّذي تَقْسِمُهُ بِلُطْفِكَ

and it is You Who distribute it out of Your compassion

وَتُسَبِّبُهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ

and cause it out of Your mercy.

اَللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ

O Allah, please send blessings to Muhammad and his Household

وَٱجْعَلْ يَا رَبِّ رِزْقَكَ لِي وَاسِعاً

and make, O Lord, Your sustenance that is provided (by You) to me expansive,

وَمَطْلَبَهُ سَهْلاً

my seeking for it easy for me,

وَمَاْخَذَهُ قَرِيباً

and its source close to me.

وَلاَ تُعَنِّنِي بِطَلَبِ مَا لَمْ تُقَدِّرْ لِي فيهِ رِزْقاً

Please, do not fatigue me by seeking that which You have not decided for me to take,

فَإِنَّكَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِي

because You are certainly in no need for tormenting me

وَ أَنَا فَقِيـرٌ إِلَىٰ رَحْمَتِكَ

while I am in full need for Your mercy.

فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ

(Please) Send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household

وَجُدْ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِكَ بِفَضْلِكَ

and confer liberally upon me, Your slave, out of Your graciousness.

إِنَّكَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظيم

You are surely the Lord of great favour.
