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

upon the lowliness of our station,
steady, through it,
at the trembling over the bridge across hell,
on the day of passage over it,
the stumbles of our feet,
illuminate before the Resurrection
the darkness of our graves,
and deliver us from every agony
on the Day of Resurrection
and from the hardships of terrors on the Day of Disaster!
Whiten our faces on the day
when the faces of wrongdoers are blackened
on the Day of Regret and Remorse,
appoint love for us in the breasts of the faithful,
and make not life for us troublesome!

O Allah,
bless Muhammad, Your servant and Your Apostle,
as He delivered Your message,
executed Your command,
and counselled Your servants!

O Allah,
make our Prophet
(Your blessings be upon him and his Household)
on the Day of Resurrection
the nearest of the prophets to You in seat,
the ablest of them before You in intercession,
the greatest of them with You in worth,
and the most eminent of them with You in rank!
