يَا مُسَلِّطَ نِقَمِهِ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ بِالْخِذْلاَنِ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْعَذَابِ لَهُمْ فِي الاْخِرَةِ وَ يَا مُوَسِّعاً فَضْلَهُ عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِ بِعِصْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ حُسْنِ عَائِدَتِهِ وَ يَا شَدِيدَ النَّكَالِ بِالانْتِقَامِ وَ يَا حَسَنَ الْمُجَازَاةِ بِالثَّوَابِ وَ يَا بَارِئَ خَلْقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ وَ مُلْزِمَ أَهْلِهِمَا عَمَلَهُمَا وَ الْعَالِمَ بِمَنْ يَصِيرُ إِلَى جَنَّتِهِ وَ نَارِهِ، يَا هَادِي يَا مُضِلُّ يَا كَافِي يَا مُعَافِي يَا مُعَاقِبُ، صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد وَ اهْدِنِي بِهُدَاكَ وَ عَافِنِي بِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ سُكْنَى جَهَنَّمَ مَعَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ ارْحَمْنِي، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تَرْحَمْنِي أَكُنْ مِنَ الْخاسِرِينَ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنَ الْخُسْرَانِ بِدُخُولِ النَّارِ وَ حِرْمَانِ الْجَنَّةِ بِحَقِّ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ يَا ذَا الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ.
O Allah…! O You, Who have set punishment and torment over the enemies, and disgrace them in the earthly life and will punish them in the Hereafter! O You, Who have extended and expanded Your Mercy and Your Grace to Your “Friends”! You protect and guard them in the earthly life, and grant them a good end, in the Hereafter. O God…!
