اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ كَتَبْتَنِي عِنْدَكَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ شَقِيًّا أَوْ مَحْرُومًا أَوْ مَطْرُودًا أَوْ مُقَتَّرًا عَلَيَّ فِي الرِّزْقِ، فَامْحُ اللَّهُمَّ بِفَضْلِكَ شَقَاوَتِي وَحِرْمَانِي وَطَرْدِي وَإِقْتَارَ رِزْقِي، وَأَثْبِتْنِي عِنْدَكَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ سَعِيدًا مَرْزُوقًا مُوَفَّقًا لِلْخَيْرَاتِ، فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ فِي كِتَابِكَ الْمُنَزَّلِ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكَ الْمُرْسَلِ:

Dua E Nisf Shaban Meaning in English

O Allah! You are the One who bestows favours upon all, and no one can bestow any favour upon You. O Possessor of Majesty and Honour. O Giver of Bounty and Blessings. There is no one worthy of worship except You. You are the Support of those who seek refuge, the Neighbour of those who seek closeness, and the Security of those who are in fear.

O Allah! If You have written me in the Mother of Books (Umm al-Kitab) as someone who is miserable, or deprived, or rejected, or whose provision is restricted then O Allah, by Your Grace, erase my misery, my deprivation, my rejection, and the restriction on my provision.

And instead, write me in the Mother of Books as someone who is happy, well-provided for, and guided toward good deeds.

For You have said and Your Word is the Truth in Your Book revealed upon the tongue of Your Prophet: “Allah erases what He wills and establishes what He wills, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.”

O my Lord! By the greatest Divine Manifestation of the blessed night of the 15th of Shaban the night in which every wise matter is decreed and made firm remove from us all hardships and calamities, those we know of and those we do not, for You know best. Indeed, You are the Most Mighty, the Most Generous.

Dua E Nisf Shaban in Hindi (हिंदी अर्थ)

ऐ अल्लाह! तू वह है जो सबको नेमत देता है, और कोई तुझे नेमत नहीं दे सकता। ऐ अज़मत और इज़्ज़त वाले। ऐ फ़ज़्ल और एहसान वाले। तेरे सिवा कोई इबादत के लायक नहीं। तू ही पनाहगीरों का सहारा है, डरे हुओं को अमान देने वाला है।

ऐ अल्लाह! अगर तूने मुझे अपनी “उम्मुल-किताब” (लौहे-महफ़ूज़) में बदबख्त, या महरूम, या रद्द किया हुआ, या तंग-रोज़ी लिखा है तो ऐ अल्लाह! अपने फ़ज़्ल से मेरी बदबख्ती, महरूमी, और तंग रोज़ी को मिटा दे।

और मुझे उम्मुल-किताब में खुशनसीब, रोज़ी-दार और नेकियों की तौफ़ीक पाने वाला लिख दे।

बेशक तूने अपनी किताब में अपने नबी की ज़बान से फ़रमाया है: “अल्लाह जो चाहे मिटा दे और जो चाहे क़ायम रखे, और उसी के पास उम्मुल-किताब है।” (सूरह रअद: 39)

ऐ मेरे रब! शाबान की 15वीं रात के बड़े जलवे के वसीले से, जिसमें हर हिकमत वाला मामला तय होता है हम पर से वे मुसीबतें दूर फ़रमा जो हम जानते हैं और जो नहीं जानते। बेशक तू सबसे ज़्यादा जानता है। तू ही सबसे बड़ा और सबसे करीम है।

Dua E Nisf Shaban in Urdu (اردو ترجمہ)

اے اللہ! تو وہ ہے جو سب پر احسان کرتا ہے، اور کوئی تجھ پر احسان نہیں کر سکتا۔ اے عظمت اور اکرام والے۔ اے فضل اور انعام والے۔ تیرے سوا کوئی عبادت کے لائق نہیں۔ تو ہی پناہ مانگنے والوں کا سہارا، پناہ لینے والوں کا ہمسایہ، اور ڈرنے والوں کا امان ہے۔

اے اللہ! اگر تو نے مجھے اپنی ام الکتاب میں بدبخت، یا محروم، یا مردود، یا تنگ رزق والا لکھا ہے  تو اے اللہ، اپنے فضل سے میری بدبختی، محرومی اور تنگ رزق کو مٹا دے۔

اور مجھے ام الکتاب میں خوشنصیب، صاحبِ رزق اور نیکیوں کی توفیق والا لکھ دے۔

بے شک تو نے اپنی کتاب میں اپنے نبی کی زبان پر فرمایا: “اللہ جو چاہے مٹاتا ہے اور جو چاہے ثابت رکھتا ہے، اور اسی کے پاس ام الکتاب ہے۔” (سورۃ الرعد: 39)

اے میرے رب! ماہِ شعبان المکرم کی نصف شب کے عظیم تجلی کے وسیلے سے  جس میں ہر حکیمانہ معاملہ طے ہوتا ہے  ہم سے وہ بلائیں دور فرما جو ہم جانتے ہیں اور جو نہیں جانتے۔ بے شک تو ہی سب سے با عزت اور سب سے کریم ہے۔
