Al Wird al Laṭīf
الْوِرْدُ اللَّطِيفُ
The Complete Original Recension
Arabic Text Transliteration and English Translation
This reader’s edition presents the full 33 dhikr recension with its original hundredfold conclusion. It also records the shortened ending in the current official 1445 AH Al Khulasah as a separate alternative so the two transmitted forms remain distinct.
Text established from a family collated edition and checked against the current official publication
Editorial Basis
No single publication was found that is both the current institutional printing and the full historical recension. The controlling complete witness is the 1422 AH 2001 family collated edition prepared with hadith documentation by the Imam’s descendant Abd Allah ibn Mahfuz al Haddad. Its numbered text ends after Dhikr 33 and states that the hundredfold form is more complete and preferable. The official 1445 AH Al Khulasah is the strongest current institutional witness, but it uses the shorter ending.

Transliteration and translation
Its copyright page expressly permits downloading publishing and printing. The Latin text was checked against the supplied 2012 and 2018 editions.
Scope and reuse This document reproduces the public domain litany itself. It does not reproduce the modern preface hadith notes or commentary from the 2001 volume. The transliteration and English are adapted from the official English Al Khulasah whose copyright page allows downloading publishing and printing. Qurʾanic passages were normalized to readable Unicode Arabic and checked visually against the Arabic witnesses.
How to Use This Edition
The main body follows the morning wording. Repetition instructions sit beneath the Arabic and are not part of the recited formula. For the evening change morning to evening resurrection to return and day to night with the corresponding feminine pronouns. A complete list appears after Dhikr 33.
The English conveys meaning and is not a substitute for the Arabic text. Transliteration is provided as a reading aid. Readers who are learning pronunciation should confirm it with a qualified teacher.
The Complete Original Recension
The numbering and sequence below follow the 2001 family collated witness on pages 13 to 31. Its wording and repetition counts were checked against rendered page images rather than accepted from OCR alone.

MEANING
Did you (really) imagine that We created you without any purpose, and that you would not be brought back to Us (for account)? Therefore, Exalted be Allah, the True King; there is no god but He; the Lord of the Throne of Honour!

Forgive us and have Mercy on us; for You are the best of those Who show Mercy!

MEANING
I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the rejected shaytan.
Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, you would have certainly seen it humbling itself and splitting asunder for its fear of Allah. We relate these parables to men so that they may reflect. He is Allah: there is no god, but Him. The All-Knower of the Unseen and the seen. He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. He is Allah, there is no god, but Him; the King, the Most Pure, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Giver of Security, the Protector, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supremely Great; Glory be to Allah. (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner. To Him belongs the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the Heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Current Official Shortened Ending
The current official 1445 AH Al Khulasah replaces the original Dhikr 30 through Dhikr 33 with the sequence below. This is a transmitted alternative and should not be merged with the hundredfold conclusion in the main text.
The 2001 family collated edition also prints a shortened substitute after its explicit end marker. That earlier substitute stops after the declaration of divine unity and does not contain the final salutation printed in the 1445 current form.
