O the All-forgiving; O the All-merciful
أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ الْعَظِيمُ

You are the All-great Lord
الَّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ
alladhi laysa kamithlihi shay`un
Like Whom there is nothing
وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ،
wahuwas-sami’ul-basiru
and He is the All-hearing, the All-aware;
وَهذَا شَهْرٌ عَظَّمْتَهُ وَكَرَّمْتَهُ
wahadha shahrun `azzamtahu wakarramtahu
and this is a month that You have glorified and ennbled,
وَشَرَّفْتَهُ وَفَضَّلْتَهُ عَلَى الشُّهُورِ،
washarraftahu wafaddaltahu `alash-shuhuri
and honored and preferred to the other months,
وَهُوَ الشَّهْرُ الَّذِي فَرَضْتَ صِيَامَهُ عَلَيَّ،
wahuwash-sharhul-ladhi faradta siyamahu `alayya
it is the month that You imposed upon me to observe fasting in it,

wahuwa shahru ramadanal-ladhi anzalta fihil-qur`ana
it is the month of Ramadan during which You revealed the Qur'an
هُدَىً لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ
hudan lin-nasi wabayyinatin minal-huda wal-furqani
as guidance for people and clear proofs on true guidance and distinction (between the right and the wrong);
وَجَعَلْتَ فِيهِ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ
waja’alta fihi laylatal-qadri
and You decided the Grand Night to be in it,
وَجَعَلْتَهَا خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ،
waja’altaha khayran min alfi shahrin
and You have decided it to be more favorable that one thousand months.
فَيَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَلا يُمَنُّ عَلَيْكَ
fayadhal-manni wala yumannu `alayka
So, O the Lord of graces; and none can ever do favor to You;
مُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِفَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ فِي مَنْ تَمُنُّ عَلَيْهِ
munna `alayya bifakaki raqabati minan-nari fi man tamunnu `alayhi
Please do me a favor by releasing me from the Fire and by including me with those to whom You do this favor,
وَأَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ
wa-adkhilnil-jannata
and allow me to enter Paradise;
بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
birahmatika ya arhamar-rahimina
on account of Your mercy; O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
