الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبُّنَا. اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَعَطَائِكَ وَعَطِيَّتِكَ، إلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى.
All praise is due to Allah, abundant, good, and blessed praise. (Praise) that is not insufficient, nor is it bid farewell, nor is anyone independent of Him, our Lord. O Allah, this is from Your blessing, Your gift, and Your provision, until a specified time.
Al-hamdulillah hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih, ghayra makfiyyin wa la mudda'in wa la mustaghnan 'anhu rabbuna. Allahumma hadha bini'matika wa 'ata'ika wa 'atiyyatika, ila ajalin musamma.
