Safar Ki Dua: Travel Dua in Arabic with Urdu Tarjuma

Safar ki dua is the supplication the Prophet ﷺ recited when he set out on a journey. Below is the complete safar ki dua in Arabic from Sahih Muslim, with Roman Urdu, Urdu tarjuma and English meaning, followed by the short sawari ki dua (gari mein baithne ki dua) from the Quran and the dua for returning home. Some people also call it the travel dua or musafir ki dua.

Safar Ki Dua in Arabic (Sahih Muslim 1342)

Abdullah bin Umar reported that when the Prophet ﷺ mounted his camel to travel, he said Allahu Akbar three times and then recited this dua:

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى، اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ، وَسُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ

Safar Ki Dua Urdu Tarjuma

اللہ سب سے بڑا ہے، اللہ سب سے بڑا ہے، اللہ سب سے بڑا ہے۔ پاک ہے وہ ذات جس نے اسے ہمارے قابو میں کر دیا، حالانکہ ہم اسے قابو میں کرنے والے نہ تھے، اور بے شک ہم اپنے رب کی طرف لوٹنے والے ہیں۔ اے اللہ! ہم اپنے اس سفر میں تجھ سے نیکی اور تقویٰ کا سوال کرتے ہیں، اور ایسے عمل کا جسے تو پسند کرے۔ اے اللہ! ہمارا یہ سفر ہم پر آسان کر دے اور اس کی دوری ہمارے لیے سمیٹ دے۔ اے اللہ! تو ہی سفر میں ساتھی ہے اور گھر والوں میں نگہبان ہے۔ اے اللہ! میں تیری پناہ مانگتا ہوں سفر کی مشقت سے، تکلیف دہ منظر سے، اور مال اور گھر والوں میں برے انجام سے۔

Safar Ki Dua Meaning in English

English: Allah is the Greatest (three times). Glory be to the One who has placed this under our control, though we could not have done it ourselves, and to our Lord we will surely return. O Allah, we ask You on this journey of ours for righteousness and piety, and for deeds that please You. O Allah, make this journey easy for us and shorten its distance for us. O Allah, You are the Companion on the journey and the Guardian of the family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of travel, from distressing sights, and from an evil outcome in wealth and family.

The dua asks Allah for three things on every journey: that it be spent in good deeds, that it be easy, and that the family and wealth left behind stay safe.

Short Sawari Ki Dua / Gari Mein Baithne Ki Dua (Quran 43:13–14)

The opening part of safar ki dua comes from Surah Az-Zukhruf. Many people recite this short part whenever they sit in a car, bus, train or plane, even for a short trip in the city:

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ

Roman Urdu: Subḥānalladhī sakhkhara lanā hādhā wa mā kunnā lahū muqrinīn, wa innā ilā rabbinā lamunqalibūn.

پاک ہے وہ ذات جس نے اسے ہمارے قابو میں کر دیا، حالانکہ ہم اسے قابو میں کرنے والے نہ تھے، اور بے شک ہم اپنے رب کی طرف لوٹنے والے ہیں۔

Reference: Quran 43:13–14

Dua When Returning From a Journey

In the same hadith, when the Prophet ﷺ came back from a journey, he recited safar ki dua again and added:

آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ

Roman Urdu: Āyibūna tā’ibūna ʿābidūna li rabbinā ḥāmidūn.

ہم لوٹنے والے ہیں، توبہ کرنے والے ہیں، عبادت کرنے والے ہیں، اپنے رب کی حمد کرنے والے ہیں۔

English: We return, repenting, worshipping and praising our Lord.

Dua When Stopping at a Place During Travel

When you stop at a hotel, rest area or any new place on your journey, the Prophet ﷺ taught a short dua for protection. Read it with Urdu meaning on our Auzu Bikalimatillahi dua page.

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

English: I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.

Reference: Sahih Muslim 2708
