AL-QAŞİDAH فَهَنِّى وَبَشِّرْنَا بِيَوْمٍ عَبْقَرِي أَرَى لَيْلَةً لَيْلَاءَ ذَاتَ مَخَافَةٍ I perceive a deep dark fearful night; Delight us, therefore, with the glad tidings of a glorious day. وَمَرِّقَ خَصِيْمِي يَا إِلهِي وَعَفِّرِ وَفَرِّجَ كُرُوبِي يَا كَرِيمِن وَنَجِّنِي O my Benevolent Lord! Relieve my distress, save me, Shatter my adversary, and humiliate him. وَتَعْرِفُ مَسْتُورِى وَتَدْرِي مُقَعَّرِى وَلَيْسَتْ عَلَيْكَ رُمُوْزُ أَمْرِي بِغُمَّةٍ My state and condition are not ambiguous to You; You are aware of my innermost state. جَلَالُكَ مَقْصُودٌ فَأَيَّدْ وَأَظْهِرِ زُلَالُكَ مَطْلُوبٌ فَأَخْرِجْ عُيُونَهُ We are in need of Your pure water, so let its spring come forth; You are our goal, so help and assist us. نَعُوذُ بِنُورِكَ مِنْ زَمَانٍ مُّكَوَّرِ وَجَدْنَاكَ رَحْمَانًا فَمَا الْهَمُ بَعْدَهُ We have found You the Most Merciful; we do not care about anything except You. We seek refuge in Your light from the darkness of the age. وَاخِرُ دَعْوَانَا اَنِ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّهُ لِرَبِّ كَرِيمٍ قَادِرٍ وَمُيَسِّرِ At the end we pray: All Praise belongs to the Lord, The Most Honourable, Powerful, and the Facilitator of all things. 125
