His Supplication in Imploring God

my good works, confessing my sins, admitting my offenses; I am abased because of my prodigality against myself. My works have destroyed me, my caprice has ruined me, my passions have deprived me. 8- So I ask Thee, my Master, the asking of himwhose soul is diverted by his drawn out expectations, whose body is heedless because of the stillness of his veins, 3whose heart is entrancedby the multitude of favours done for him, whose reflection is littleconcerning that to which he is coming home; 9- the asking of him whomfalse expectation has overcome, caprice has entranced, and this world has mastered, and over whom death has cast its shadow; the asking of him whomakes much of his sinsand confesses his offense; the asking of him who hasno Lord but Thou, no friend besides Thee, no one to deliver him from Thee, and no asylum from Thee except in Thee. 4 10- My God, I ask Theeby Thy right incumbent upon all Thy creatures, by Thy mighty namewith which Thou commanded Thy messenger to glorify Thee, and by the majesty of Thy generous face, which ages not, nor changes, nor alters, nor passes away, that Thou blessest Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, that Thou freest me from need for all thingsthrough worshipping Thee, that Thou distractest my soul from this worldthrough fear of Thee, and that Thou turnest me back toward Thy abundant generosity through Thy mercy! 11- To Thee I flee, Thee I fear, from Thee I seek aid, in Thee I hope, Thee I supplicate, in Thee I seek asylum, in Thee I trust, from Thee I ask help, in Thee I have faith, in Thee I have placed my confidence, and upon Thy munificence and Thy generosity I rely.
