Supplicatory Prayer (Based on Imam al-Haddad’s Poem)

Salam

Please find below a supplicatory prayer I wrote a short time back based primarily (but not entirely) on a well known poem of Imam al-Haddad (see image above). Recitors will find that they should be able to sing this according to the tune of the Arabic version.

O Lord we have admitted
to sins we have committed
to You we have submitted
our hopes in Your Mercy

O Lord grant us repentance
coupled with Your acceptance
and free us from dependence
From all of the creation

O Lord grant us a veiling
which will protect us failing
a day of Your prevailing
upon all Your deniers

O Lord grant us admission
to blessings You have given
of health and wealth provision
raining upon your servants

O Lord protect our household
the elderly and young folk
for ever more our stronghold
and in Paradise unite us

O Lord grant Your protection
And ward off the affliction
With ease from all restriction
The homes of the believers

O Lord bestow Your favours
upon our friends and neighbours
and everyone who labours
to serve your creation

O Lord Your peace and blessings
Until the leaves and birds sing
Upon the light that guides us
Muhammad and companions

    The poem you mentioned is from the final verses of Habib ‘Abdullah b. Husayn b. Tahir’s poem Hadiyat al-Sadiq (Gift to a Friend), which are often sung at the end of the gatherings of knowledge. See p.72 of Imams of the Valley.
