Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

our intimate in the dark of nights,
and against the instigations of Satan
and seductive thoughts
a guard,
and for out feet
from proceeding to acts of disobedience
an obstruction,
for our tongues,
preventing them from plunging into falsehood,
a silencer without blight,
for our limbs a restrainer from committing sins,
and for what negligence has caused to roll up
of the scrolls of self-scrutiny
an unfolder,
until You bring to our hearts
the understanding of the Qur’ān’s wonders
and its restraining examples which
mountains, despite their firmness, were too weak
to carry!

O Allah,
bless Muhammad and his Household
and make permanent through the Qur’ān
the rightness of our outward selves,
keep out confusing thoughts
from the soundness of our innermost minds,
wash away the dirt of our hearts
and [remove] the bondage of our burdens,
compose our scattered affairs,
quench in the halting place of presentation before You
