The Supplication For Forgiveness

In The Name of God I begin, with all my respect,
And all praise belongs to God, for my strength and maturity.

I seek the forgiveness of God, our Lord and Creator,
For all mankind and for the evils of my[soul’s] turmoil.

I seek the forgiveness of God, motivator of the heavenly spheres in the darkness,
For our failure to thank Him enough for His bounty.

I seek the forgiveness of God, the Saviour of one who seeks His aid,
Whenever he suffers misfortune or calamity.

I seek the forgiveness of God, Forgiver of the sins of one
Who comes to Him broken, humiliated and full of remorse.

I seek the forgiveness of God, Concealer of the faults of
The morally deficient, and their Savior from adversity.

For the fickleness of my heart and for the smile upon my face.

For my evil character, type and nature.

For my vain strivings, and the exhaustion of my abilities.

I seek the forgiveness of God for my ignorance and trangressions,
For the greatest of my conscious sins, and the minor ones I have commited.

I seek the forgiveness of God for what my hand has wrought,
For my errors and [the sins] toward what I was inclined.

I seek forgiveness of God for saying ‘I’ and ‘with me’,
[For saying] ‘belonging to me’ and ‘mine’, and for my suspicions and my limited understanding.

I seek the forgiveness of God for that which I did not know,
For that which I knew, and for that which I wrote by pen.

I seek the forgiveness of God for my sleep and my lethargy,
And for my wakefulness, and for that which has maintained me [in life].

I seek the forgiveness of God during the day, its night
And, its morrow, before it is created from nothingness.

I seek the forgiveness of God for that which occurred during my youth,
And for my disagreements with the aged and mature.

I seek the forgiveness of God, as often as I have feared what He has bestowed,
And [as often as] the clouds have rained on the plains and hills.

I seek the forgiveness of God, as often as the number of pilgrims, going
Toward lands characterized by purity and sanctity.

I seek the forgiveness of God, as often as the breaking of dawn, and as often
As the doves coo their songs in the branches.

verses and aphorisms recited during the invocation.

I seek the forgiveness of God, as often as the number of riding animals,
Worlds beyond the horizons, and landmarks in the earth.

I seek the forgiveness of God, as often as the number of plants and
Sheep on the land and [the amount of] bounty in the sea.

I seek the forgiveness of God, as often as the number of heavenly bodies
Encompassed by knowledge, and for everything that is apparent and hidden.

I seek the forgiveness of God, as often as the number of [grains of] sand,
And the [amount of] rain that falls continuously on the earth.

I seek the forgiveness of God, as often as the number of thoughts in
The breast of those endowed with trust, authority, and wisdom.

I seek the forgiveness of God- all majesty be to God, our Creator,
Creator of mankind and the One who brought us forth from nothingness.

I seek the forgiveness of God - all majesty be to God, Who provided for us
Prior to physical existence, and Who apportions all the shares [of worldly destiny].

I seek the forgiveness of God, Whose bounties are without number,
The All-Encompassing, the Most Excellent, [the One] noted for generosity.

I seek the forgiveness of God -all majesty be to God, Who gathers us in [at death],
The annihilator of centuries, and annihilator of all nations.

I seek the forgiveness of God- all majesty be to God, Who resurrects us,
After death, and Who gives life to decaying bones.

I seek the forgiveness God, innumerable times,
As often as the number of known species and breaths of life.

I seek the forgiveness of God- on Him be praises without number,
[For] He causes Himself to be praised per-eternally.

I seek the forgiveness of God, the Forgiver of sins Who, whenever
The slave disobeys, forgives him with indulgence and generosity.

So forgive me the greatest of my transgressions, and
[On] the Day of Judgement, when my feet are about to stumble.

Then may blessings be on the Chosen One,
The Best of Mankind, among those who weep or smile.

And may his family and companions be preserved
By our Lord, along with all of [their] followers.
