Allahummar Zuqni at-Tajafi — detachment from dunya
اَللّٰہُمَّ ارْزُقْنِیْ التَّجَافِیْ
A short supplication about detachment — “Allahumma arzuqni at-tajafi”.
It asks for three things in one breath: the sentiment to turn away from the attractions of this world, an inclination towards the everlasting abode, and preparation for the last journey before death arrives. The order matters — the readiness is asked for while there is still time to have it.
It closes with salawat upon Muhammad and his progeny.
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem
In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.
اللہ کے نام سے (شروع کرتا ہوں) جو بڑا مہربا ن نہایت رحم کرنے والا ہے۔
اَللّٰہُمَّ ارْزُقْنِیْ التَّجَافِیْ عَنْ دَارِالْغُرُوْرِ وَالْاِنَابَۃِ اِلٰی دَارِ الْخُلُوْدِ وَالْاِسْتِعْدَادِ لِلْمَوْتِ قَبْلَ حُلُوْلِ الْفَوْتِ۔
Allaahum-mar zuq-nit tajaa-fee a’n daaril gho-roore wal enaa-bate elaa daaril kholoo-de wal iste’daade lil-mawte qabla holoo-lil fawte.
O Allah, give me the sentiment to ignore the worldly attractions and make me inclined to the permanent abode and prepare me for the last journey before the arrival of death.
اے معبود! مجھے فریب کے گھر سے دوری اختیار کرنا، ہمیشہ کے اپنے محل سکونت کی طرف لوٹ کے جانااور موت کے آنے سے پہلے موت کے لئے تیار ہونا نصیب فرما۔
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ۔
Allahumma swalle alaa muhammadiw wa aale muhammadin
Allah’s (s.w.t) choicest blessings be upon Mohammed and his holy progeny.
اے معبود! رحمت نازل فرما حضرت محمدؐ اور انکی آل ؑپر۔
