Jazakallahu Khaira. May Allah give you the best in both the worlds…

wa alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

These are actually lines of poetry. Here is the Arabic text for them:

أمولاي اني عبد ضعيف أتيتك أرغب بما لديك
أتيتك أشكو مصاب الذنوب وهل يشتكى الضر الا اليك
فمنّ بعفوك يا سيّدي فليس اعتمادي الا عليك.

الهي ان كنت الغريق وعاصيا فعفوك يا ذا الجود والسعة الرحب
بشدّة فقري باضطراري بحاجتي اليك الهي حين يشتد بي الكرب
بما بي من ضعف وعجز وفاقة بما ضمّنت من وسع رحمتك الكتب

wa alaykum as salaam wrt,

The entire text of this article has been translated from Bahr ad-Dumu’ by Imam Ibn al-Jawzī, rahimahullah. I’m sorry that I did not do takhreej of the hadith so I do not know where it can found in terms of the books of hadith. I will try to get back to you with more info, inshaAllah.

as salaamu alaykum,

I’m so thankful that you posted this reminder. Can I have the Arabic version of these duas with tashkeel. I want to memorize them inshaAllah.

My Lord, certainly, I am a weak slave
Who has come before You seeking that which You have to give.
I come before You complaining of the affliction of my sins,
For can one complain of grief to anyone but You?
Gift me with Your Pardon, my Benevolent Master
For my reliance is on none but You.

My Lord, if I have drowned in my own sins,
I ask for Your pardon, Most Generous Lord
By the depth of my poverty and my utter need
For You, my Lord, in times of distress.
I ask You by my weakness, inability, and indigence,
I ask You by what Your Books have guaranteed –
I ask you by Your infinite Mercy.

Remember the Prophet’s words: All of the children of Adam make mistakes, but the best of those who make mistakes are the ones who repent.

Allah also says: O my servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, surely Allah forgives all sins, for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Assalamu alaykum,
