Dua for the 22nd night of Ramadan (Ramaḍān)

يَا سَالِخَ النَّهَارِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاِذَا نَحْنُ مُظْلِمُونَ وَ مُجْرِيَ الشَّمْسِ لِمُسْتَقَرِّهَا بِتَقْدِيرِكَ يَا عَزِيزُ يَا عَلِيمُ وَ مُقَدِّرَ الْقَمَرِ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّى عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ يَا نُورَ كُلِّ نُورٍ وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ وَ وَلِيَّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ يَا اللّٰهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللّٰهُ يَا قُدُّوسُ يَا اَحَدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا فَرْدُ يَا اللّٰهُ يَا اللّٰهُ يَا اللّٰهُ لَكَ الْاَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْاَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلاءُ اَسْاَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ [عَلَى‏] اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ اَنْ تَجْعَلَ اسْمِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ وَ رُوحِي مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ اِحْسَانِي فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ اِسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ اَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِينا تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ اِيمَانا يُذْهِبُ الشَّكَّ عَنِّي وَ تُرْضِيَنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الْحَرِيقِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَ شُكْرَكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةَ اِلَيْكَ وَ الْاِنَابَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدا وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلامُ

 

Translation:

O He Who draws forth daylight from night, and we are then in the dark,  Who causes the sun to run on to a term appointed for it; that is the ordinance of You, O Mighty, O Knowing,  and Who ordained for the moon stages until it becomes again as an old dry palm branch!  O Light of every light!  O ultimate goal of all desires!  O Source of all graces!  O Allah! O All-beneficent!  O Allah! O Holy!  O One and Only! O One! O Single!  O Allah! O Allah! O Allah!  To You are the Most Excellent Names,  the most elevated examples,  greatness, and bounties.  I beseech You to bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,  include my name with the list of the happiest ones,  add my soul to the martyrs,  record my good deeds in the most exalted rank,  decide my offense to be forgiven,  grant me certitude that fills in my heart  and faith that removes doubt from me,  make me feel satisfied with that which You decide for me,  grant us reward in this world  and reward in the Hereafter,  save us from the torment of the burning Fire,  and confer upon us at this night Your mentioning, thanking You, desiring for You,  turning to You, and success to that to which You led Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, peace be upon him and them.
