اللَّهُمَّ سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ تُعْبَدُ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ
وَ تُجْحَدُ بِخِذْلَانِكَ أَرَيْتَ عِبَرَكَ وَ ظَهَرَتْ غِيَرُكَ
وَ بَقِيَتْ آثَارُ الْمَاضِينَ عِظَةً لِلْبَاقِينَ وَ الشَّهَوَاتُ غَالِبَةٌ وَ اللَّذَّاتُ مُجَاذِبَةٌ
نَعْتَرِضُ أَمْرَكَ وَ نَهْيَكَ بِسُوءِ الِاخْتِيَارِ
وَ نَمِيلُ عَنِ الرَّشَادِ وَ نُنَافِرُ طُرُقَ السَّدَادِ
فَلَوْ [فَإِنْ] عَجَّلْتَ لا انتقمت [لَانْتَقَمْتَ] وَ مَا ظَلَمْتَ
وَ لَكِنَّكَ تُمْهِلُ عَوْداً عَلَى يَدِكَ [بَدْئِكَ] بِالْإِحْسَانِ
وَ تُنْظِرُ تَعَمُّداً لِلرَّأْفَةِ وَ الِامْتِنَانِ
فَكَمْ مِمَّنْ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَكَّنْتَهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ كُفْرَ الْحُوبِ
وَ أَرْشَدْتَهُ الطَّرِيقَ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَوَغَّلَ فِي الْمَضِيقِ
فَكَانَ ضَالًّا لَوْ لَا هِدَايَتُكَ وَ كَانَ طَائِحاً حَتَّى تَخَلَّصَتْهُ دَلَائِلُكَ
وَ كَمْ مِمَّنْ وَسَّعْتَ لَهُ فَطَغَى وَ رَاخَيْتَ لَهُ فَاسْتَشْرَى
O my God! There is no God but You: glory be to You. You are Worshipped by Your success
You are denied for Your letting down, You have shown us the lessons, and Your changes have become apparent
The remains of the past are left for those who remain to learn from. Lusts are powerful and carnal desires are attractive
We use our bad free will to challenge Your Decrees and Prohibitions
We are blind towards good insight and have deviated from the Right Path, and evaded ways of righteousness
Thus if You rush and take revenge, it would not be oppression
However, You give us more time with Your Continued Kindness
and wait to perfect Your Kindness and Grace
How many people did You bestow Your Blessings upon and granted an opportunity to repent from the great sin?
How many people did You direct to the Right Path after they were stuck in a bad situation?
They would have been lost if You had not guided them, but it was Your clear reasons that saved them
How many people did You bestow Your Blessings upon but they rebelled. and gave them more time, but they became stubborn
