TRANSLATIONI turn my face in complete devotion to One Who is the Originator of the

heaven and the earth and I am not of the polytheists. Verily my prayer, my

sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds; There

is no partner with Him and this is what I have been commanded (to profess

and believe) and I am of the believers. O Allah, You are the King, there is no

god but You, You are my Lord, and I am Your servant. I wronged myself and

make a confession of my sin. Forgive all my sins, for no one forgives the sins

except You, and guide me in the best of conduct for none but You guides

anyone (in) good conduct. Remove sins from me, for none but You remove

sins from me. Here I am at Your service, Grace is to You and all goodness is

in Your hands. Evil is not attributed to you. I am from You and will return to

You. You are blessed and You are exalted. I seek forgiveness from You and

turn to You in repentance.
