English translation of Du’a before beginning Salatul Layl
In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful
O Allah bless Muhammad and his family
O Allah I turn to You through Your Prophet the Prophet of mercy and (through) his family
and I place them in front of my needs
so make me through them, respected, in the world and in the hereafter and from the near ones
O Allah have mercy on me through them
وَ لاَ تُعَذِّبْنِي بِهِمْ وَ اهْدِنِي بِهِمْ وَ لاَ تُضِلَّنِي بِهِمْ وَ ارْزُقْنِي بِهِمْ وَ لاَ تَحْرِمْنِي بِهِمْ وَ اقْضِ لِي حَوَائِجَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الآَخِرَةِ
اِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ وَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ
and do not punish me through them
and guide me through them and do not lead me astray through them
and grant me sustenance through them and do not deny me through them
and fulfill my needs of the world and the hereafter
Surely You have power over all things and (You) are aware of all things

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful O Allah bless Muhammad and his family
O Allah You are the Ever Living, the Eternal the Elevated, the Mighty the Creator, the Sustainer the One who gives life and the One who causes to die the Beginner, the Unique
For You is nobility and for You is generosity and for You is grace and for You is the command

يَا خَالِقُ يَا رَازِقُ يَا مُحْيِي يَا مُمِيْتُ يَا بَدِيْعُ يَا رَفِيْعُ اَسْأَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تَرْحَمَ ذُلِّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ تَضَرُّعِي اِلَيْكَ وَحْشَتِي مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ اُنْسِي بِكَ
O Creator, O Sustainer O the One who gives life and the One who causes to die
O the Unique, the Sublime
I ask you to bless Muhammad and his family and to have mercy on my lowliness before You and my beseeching You
and my loneliness from people
and my intimacy with You
Dua after Salat al-Shaf’a بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْمِ اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اِلهِي تَعَرَّضَ لَكَ فِي هذَا اللَّيْلِ الْمُتَعَرِّضُوْنَ وَ قَصَدَكَ فِيْهِ الْقَاصِدُوْنَ وَ اَمَّلَ فَضْلَكَ وَ مَعْرُوْفَكَ الطَّالِبُوْنَ وَ لَكَ فِي هذَا اللَّيْلِ نَفَحَاتٌ وَ جَوَائِزُ وَ عَطَايَا وَ مَوَاهِبُ تَمُنُّ بِهَا عَلى مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ تَمْنَعُهَا مَنْ لَمْ تَسْبِقُ لَهُ الْعِنَايَةُ مِنْكَ
English translation of Dua after Salat al-Shaf’a
In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful O Allah bless Muhammad and his family
O Allah, on this night the seekers have sought You and the aspirers have aspired for You and the searchers have hoped for Your blessings and grace
For You have in this night, hidden bounties and rewards and presents and gifts which You bestow upon whom you please from Your servants and You deny them to one who has not reached Your regard
وَ هَا اَنَا ذَا عُبَيْدُكَ الْفَقِيْرُ اِلَيْكَ اَلْمُؤَمِّلُ فَضْلَكَ وَ مَعْرُوْفَكَ فَاِنْ كُنْتَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ تَفَضَّلْتَ فِي هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ عَلى اَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ عُدْتَ عَلَيْهِ بِعَائِدَةٍ مِنْ عَطْفِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلطَّيِّبِيْنَ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ اَلْخَيِّرِيْنَ اَلْفَاضِلِيْنَ وَ جُدْ عَلَيَّ بِطَوْلِكَ وَ مَعْرُوْفِكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ
Here I am, Your abject servant in need of You hopeful of Your blessings and grace
So, O my Master if You have bestowed blessings on this night on anyone of Your creatures and turned to him with affection
then bless Muhammad and his family the pure, the purified, the virtuous ones the excellent ones
and favor me with Your grace and bounty O Lord of the worlds
وَ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّيْنَ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيْمًا اِنَّ اللّهَ حَمِيْدٌ مَجِيْدٌ اَللّهُمَّ اِنِّي اَدْعُوْكَ كَمَا اَمَرْتَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ اِنَّكَ لاَ تُخْلِفُ الْمِيْعَادَ
And send blessings on Muhammad the seal of the Prophets
and his family, the Purified and salute them with a perfect salutation
Surely Allah is praiseworthy, Glorious
O Allah I have supplicated to You as You have commanded
then answer me as You have promised Surely You do not break Your promises.
Du’a after Salatul Witr This du’a is called Dua al-Hazeen, the sorrowful du’a. It should be recited softly and sorrowfully. بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْمِ اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اُنَاجِيْكَ يَا مَوْجُوْدًا فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ لَعَلَّكَ تَسْمَعُ نِدَائِي فَقَدْ عَظُمَ جُرْمِي وَ قَلَّ حَيَائِي مَوْلاَيَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ اَيُّ اْلاَهْوَالِ اَتَذَكَّرُ وَ اَيُّهَا اَنْسى وَ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ اِلاَّ الْمَوْتُ لَكَفى كَيْفَ وَ مَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ اَعْظَمُ وَ اَدْهى
English translation of Du’a after Salatul Witr
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?
مَوْلاَيَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ حَتَّى مَتى وَ اِلى مَتى اَقُوْلُ لَكَ الْعُتْبى مَرَّةً بَعْدَ اُخْرى ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُ عِنْدِي صِدْقًا وَ لاَ وَفَاءً فَيَا غَوْثَاهُ ثُمَّ وَا غَوْثَاهُ بِكَ يَا اَللّهُ مِنْ هَوىً قَدْ غَلَبَنِي وَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ قَدِ اسْتَكْلَبَ عَلَيَّ وَ مِنْ دُنْياً قَدْ تَزَيَّنَتْ لِي وَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ اَمَّارَةٍ بِالسُّوْءِ اِلاَّ مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّي مَوْلاَيَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ اِنْ كُنْتَ رَحِمْتَ مِثْلِي فَارْحَمْنِي
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
وَ اِنْ كُنْتَ قَبِلْتَ مِثْلِي فَاقْبَلْنِي يَا قَابِلَ السَّحَرَةِ اقْبَلْنِي يَا مَنْ لَمْ اَزَلْ اَتَعَرَّفُ مِنْهُ الْحُسْنى يَا مَنْ يُغَذِّيْنِي بِالنِّعَمِ صَبَاحًا وَ مَسَاءً اِرْحَمْنِي يَوْمَ آتِيْكَ فَرْدًا شَاخِصًا اِلَيْكَ بَصَرِي مُقَلَّدًا عَمَلِي قَدْ تَبَرَّأَ جَمِيْعُ الْخَلْقِ مِنِّي نَعَمْ وَ اَبِي وَ اُمِّي وَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ كَدِّي وَ سَعْيِي فَاِنْ لَمْ تَرْحَمْنِي فَمَنْ يَرْحَمُنِي وَ مَنْ يُؤْنِسُ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَحْشَتِي
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
وَ مَنْ يُنْطِقُ لِسَانِي اِذَا خَلَوْتُ بِعَمَلِي وَ سَأَلْتَنِي عَمَّا اَنْتَ اَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي فَاِنْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَاَيْنَ الْمَهْرَبُ مِنْ عَدْلِكَ وَ اِنْ قُلْتُ لَمْ اَفْعَلْ قُلْتَ اَلَمْ اَكُنِ الشَّاهِدَ عَلَيْكَ
فَعَفْوُكَ عَفْوُكَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ قَبْلَ سَرَابِيْلِ الْقَطِرَانَ عَفْوُكَ عَفْوُكَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ قَبْلَ جَهَنَّمَ وَ النِّيْرَان
عَفْوُكَ عَفْوُكَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ قَبْلَ اَنْ تُغَلَّ الاَيْدِي اِلى الاَعْنَاقِ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ وَ خَيْرَ الْغَافِرِيْنَ
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
