O God, support Islam and all Mohammedans. Fight against atheism and
heresy and evil, the enemies of religion. Aid the ever-victorious
Sultan Ali Shah, the great and most superior sultan; sultan of
the land and sea; and his heir, the late Sultan Shah Shahabu-d-Din
Mohammed, who was versed in law and all learning; and the late Sultan
Shah Shafi-d-Din Mohammed Mustafa, the best of all things. Defend
the late sultan and wise Governor Shah Badaru-d-Din Mohammed, the
victorious. May God perpetuate on earth his power, and his kingdom,
and his justice.
O God, support the late Sultan Nasaru-d-Din, the victorious, the
administrator, and the able supporter of our religion; the late
Sultan Alimu-d-Din the First, Mohammed, the prince of the faithful,
the seeker of God's mercy; and the obedient to His will; the late
Sultan Shah Muizzi-d-Din Mohammed, the emigrant, the learned, the
truthful, and the generous; the late patient Sultan Shah Mohammed
Israyil; the late Sultan Shah Alimu-d-Din the Second, Mohammed,
the peaceful, the chosen, and the powerful; the late Sultan Shah
Sharafu-d-Din Mohammed, the merciful, seeker of knowledge, and doer
of good deeds; the late noble Sultan Shah Alimu-d-Din the Third,
Mohammed; the late Sultan Shah Aliu-d-Din Mohammed, the great and
victorious; the late Sultan Shah Shakira-l-Lah Mohammed, conqueror of
atheism and heresy, who was versed in Mohammedanism and monotheism;
the late Sultan Shah Jamalu-l-Kiram Mohammed, the kind and the wise
and beloved of his people, master of truth and good, whom God alone
prevented from making the pilgrimage to the House, and who was patient,
lenient, and good, who encouraged good deeds and forbade evil, and
who was good in his administration. May God perpetuate his kingdom,
his power, his justice, and his kindness. May God forgive him and
his forefathers and be good to all of them and give them a place in
paradise. O God, aid all who befriend him; be the enemy of all his
enemies; uphold all who uphold him; reject those who reject him;
and vanquish those who may vanquish him. Be Thou his help and aid,
and use him as a sword of vengeance against all offenders.
Thou art my God, the God of Truth and Lord of the Universe.
O God, set right our leaders and our nation, our judges, our rulers,
our learned men, our lawgivers, our wise men, and our old men. Aid
them in righteousness, and guide us. O God, destroy the enemies of
our religion and unite the hearts of the faithful. Free the captives
and pay the debts of the debtors. Relieve the distressed and forgive
the living and the dead. God grant peace and safety to us and to
the pilgrims and to the travelers on land and on sea who are of the
people of Mohammed, for Thou art the most powerful, the best Master
and the best Helper.
