المناجات اِمَامْ زَيْنُ الْعَابِدِيْن ؓ
Munajaat Imam Zain ul Abideen
A collection of intimate prayers and supplications by Imam Zain ul Abideen, seeking intercession through the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his blessed family
يَا مُصْطَفَى يَا مُجْتَبَىٰ اِرْحَمْ عَلٰى عِصْـيَــانِنَــا
مَجْبُوْرَةً اَعْمَالُــنَا طَمْعًاوَّذَ نْــبًـاوَّ الظُّلَمْ
O Chosen One, O Selected One, have mercy upon our sins
Our deeds are compelled by greed, sin and darkness
اِنْ نِّلْتِ يَارِيْحَ الصَّـبَـا يَوْ مًــااِلٰى اَرْضِ الْحَرَمْ
بَلِّغْ سَلَامِىْ رَوْضَةً فِيْهَا النَّبِيُّ الْمُحْـتَـرَم
If you reach, O morning breeze, one day to the sacred land
Convey my greetings to the garden where lies the honored Prophet
مَنْ وَجْهُهُ شَمْسُ الضُّحَى مَنْ خَدُّ هﹾ بَدْرُ الدَّجَى
مَنْ ذَاتُهُ نُوْرُ الهُدَى مَنْ كَفُّهُ بَحْرُ الْهِمَمْ
Whose face is the morning sun, whose cheek is the full moon in darkness
Whose essence is the light of guidance, whose palm is an ocean of aspirations
قُرْآ نُهُ بُرْهَانُــنَـــانَسْخًا ِلاَدْ يَانٍ مَّضَتْ
اِذْ جَائَنَا اَحْكَامُهُ كُلَّ الصُّحُفِ صَارِ الْعَدَمْ
His Quran is our proof, abrogating religions that passed
When his rulings came to us, all previous scriptures became void
يَالَيْتَـــنـِيْ كُنْتُ كَمَنْ يَّـتْبَـعْ نَبِيًّا عَالِــمًا
يَوْ مًاوَّ لَيْلاً دَائِـــمًاوَّارْ زَقْ كَذَالِىْ بِالْكَرَمْ
Would that I were like one who follows a knowledgeable Prophet
Day and night continuously, and grant me likewise with generosity
اَكْبَادُنَا مَجْرَوْحَةٌ مِّنْ سَيْفِ هِجْرِ الْمُصْطَفَى
طُوْبَى ِلاَهْلِ بَلْدَ ةً فِيْهَا النَّبِيُّ الْمُحْتَشَمْ
Our hearts are wounded by the sword of separation from Mustafa
Blessed are the people of the city where the noble Prophet resides
لَسْتُ بِرَاج ٍ مُّفْرَدًا بَلْ اَقْرِبائِىْ كُلَّهُمْ
فِىْ الْقَبْرِ اِشْفَعْ يَا شَفِيْعُ بِالصَّادِ وَ النُّونِ وَ الْقَلَمْ
I do not hope alone, but for all my relatives
In the grave, intercede O Intercessor, by Saad and Noon and the Pen
اَوْلاَدُهُ فِىْ دَارِهِ اَعْدَاءُهُ فِىْ نَارِهِ
صِدِّيْقُهُ فِىْ غَارِهِ ذَاكَ الْعَتِيْقَ الْمُحْتَشَم
His children in his house, his enemies in his fire
His truthful one in his cave, that noble and respected one
فَارُوْقُهُ عَدِلُ الصَّفَا عُثْمَانُهُ عَيْنُ الْحَيَاء
اَلْمُرْتَضَى كَهْفِ الْوُرى ذَاكَ الْعُلَى وَالْمُحْتَرَمْ
His Farooq is the justice of Safa, his Uthman is the essence of modesty
The chosen one is the cave of creation, that exalted and respected one
صَلُّوْا عَلَى عَيْنَ الصَّفَا بِنْتَ النَّبِيُّ اَلْمُصْطَفَى
اَلْفَاطِمَهْ خَيْرُ النِّسَاءِ يَنْبُوْعَ اَنْهَارِ الْكَرَمْ
Send blessings upon the spring of purity, daughter of Prophet Mustafa
Fatima, best of women, source of rivers of generosity
يَارَحْمَةً الِلْعٰلَمِيْنَ أَنْتَ شَفِيـــْعُ المُذْنِبِيْن
اَكْرِمْ لَنــَايَوْمَ الْحَزِيْن فَضْلاً وَّ جُوْ دًا وَّالْكَرَم
O mercy to the worlds, you are the intercessor of sinners
Honor us on the day of grief, with grace and generosity and nobility
يَارَحْمَةً الِلْعٰلَمِيْنَ اَدْرِكْ لِزَيْنِ الْعَابِدِيْنْ
مَحْبُوْسِ اَيْدِى الظَّالِمِيْن فِىْ الْـمَوْكِبِ وَالْـمُزْدَحَمْ
O mercy to the worlds, help Zain al-Abidin
Imprisoned by the hands of oppressors, in the procession and crowd
