ya sayyidanaa, ya rabbanaa, ya maulaanaa ya ghaayata raghbatinaa
O our Master! O our Lord! O our Guardian! O the Goal of our desires!
اَسْـاَلُـکَ یَا اَللّٰہُ و اَنْ لاَ تُـشَـوِّہُ خَـلْـقِـی بِالـنَّـارِ۔
as’aluka ya Allahu an laa tushawwih khalqee bin naar
I beseech You O God! not to make my being ugly with Fire.
From Book Rabeeul Anam 18. His (a.t.f.s.) Supplication for Salvation from Difficulties and Sorrows, famous as (دعاء الفرج) Abul Hasan Ibn Abi al-Boghl al-Kaatib chronicles, ‘Abu Mansoor Ibn al-Saalehaan entrusted me with some work. In the course of this work, something happened between me and him, which forced me to go into hiding. He searched for me and threatened me, but I continued to stay in hiding, fearing for my life. On the eve of Friday, I went to the Graves of the Quraish (مقابر قريش)’ (till he says), ‘I continued to remain in this state, when I heard the sound of some foot steps approaching me at the grave of Imam Moosa al-Kazem (a.s.) (in Kaazmayn, a suburb of Baghdad). There was a man, who was reciting this Ziyaarat (till he said), ‘He said to me: O Abul Hasan Ibn Abi al-Boghl! Why are you negligent of ‘supplication for salvation’? I asked, ‘And what is it, O my master?’ He explained, ‘Perform two units of prayers and say above dua with few changs as follows رَبَّاهُ – 10 times يَا سَيِّدَاهُ – 10 times يَا مَوْلَيَاهُ – 10 times يَا غَايَتَاهُ – 10 times يَا مُنْتَهٰى رَغْبَتَاهُ – 10 times
