 Allahumma salli ‘ala man minhu-n-shaqqati-l-asrar O Allah shower Your blessings upon him from whom burst open the secrets, wa-n-falaqati-l-anwar from whom stream forth the lights, wa fihi-rtaqati-l-haqa’iq and in whom rise up the realities, wa tanazalat ‘ulum Adama fa-a‘jaza-l-khala’iq and upon whom descended the sciences of Adam, by which all creatures are made powerless, wa lahu tada’alati-l-fuhum and blessings upon him before whom all understanding is diminished. fa-lam yudrik-hu minna sabiqun wa la lahiqa None of us totally comprehend him, whether in the past or the future fa-riyadu-l-malakuti bi-zahri jamalihi muniqa The gardens of the spiritual kingdom blossom ornately with the resplendence of his beauty, wa hiyadu-l-jabaruti bi-faydi anwarihi mutadafiqah and the reservoirs of the World of Dominion overflow with the outpouring of his light. wa la shay’a illa wa huwa bihi manuta There is nothing that is not connected to him, idh lawla-l-wasitatu la-dhhaba kama qila mawsut because if there were no intercessor, everything to be interceded for would vanish, as it is said. salatan taliqu bika minka ilayhi kama huwa ahluhu So bless him with a prayer that is worthy of You, from You, as befits his stature. Allahumma innahu sirruka-l-jami‘u-d-dallu bika ‘alayk O Allah indeed he is Your all-encompassing secret that leads through You to You wa hijabuka-l-a‘azamu-l-qa’imu laka bayna yadayk and he is Your Supreme Veil raised before You, between Your Hands. Allahumma alhiqni bi-nasabihi wa haqqiqni bi-hasabihi O Allah include me among his descendants and confirm me through his account wa ‘arifni iyyahu ma‘rifatan aslamu biha min mawaridi-l-jahl and let me know him with a deep knowledge that keeps me safe from the wells of ignorance, wa akra‘u biha min mawaridi-l-fadl so that I might drink to fullness from the wells of excellence wa-hmilni ‘ala sabilihi ila Hadratik Carry me on his path to Your Presence hamlan mahfufam bi-nusratik encompassed by Your Victory, wa aqadhif bi ‘ala-l-batil fa-admaghuhu and strike through me at the false so that I may destroy it. wa zujja bi fi bihari-l-Ahadiyya Plunge me into the seas of Oneness, wa-nshulni min ahwali-tawhid pull me out of the morass of metaphorical Unity, wa-ghriqni fi ‘ayni bahri-l-Wahda and drown me in the Essence of the Ocean of Unicity hatta la ara wa la asma‘a wa la ajida wa la uhissa illa biha until I neither see, nor hear, nor find, nor sense, except through It. wa-j‘ali Allahumma-l-hijaba-l-a‘zama hayata ruhi O Allah make the Supreme Veil the life of my spirit wa ruhahu sirra haqiqati and his soul the secret of my reality wa haqiqatahu jami‘a ‘awalimi and his reality the conflux of my worlds bi-tahqiqi-l-Haqqi-l-Awwal through the realization of the First Truth. Ya Awwal Ya Akhir Ya Zahir Ya Batin O First! O Last! O Manifest! O Most Hidden! Isma‘ nida’iy bima sami‘ta bihi nida’a abdika Zakariyya Hear my call as You heard the call of your servant Zachary wa-nsurni bika laka and grant me victory through You, for You wa ayyidni bika Laka and support me through You, for You wa ajma’ bayni wa Baynak and join me to You wa hul bayni wa bayna ghayrik and come between myself and anything other than You— Allaaah! Allaaah! Allaaah!
