اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الأَرْضِ، وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنْجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ، أَنْتَ الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنَاً وَأَغْنِنِي مِنْ الْفَقْرِ.
O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, and Lord of all things, the Cleaver of the grain and the date-stone, the Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Qur'an. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every evil-doer, the forelock of whom You are seizing. You are the First, and there is nothing before You; You are the Last, and there is nothing after You; You are the Outwardly Manifest, and there is nothing above You; You are the Hidden, and there is nothing nearer than You. Discharge my debt and make me free from want.
Allahumma Rabba as-samawati wa Rabba al-ard, wa Rabba kulli shay', faliq al-habbi wa an-nawa, wa munzil at-Tawrati wal-Injili wal-Qur'an. A'udhu bika min sharri kulli dhi shar, anta akhidhun bi nasiyatih. Anta al-Awwalu falaysa qablaka shay', wa Anta al-Akhiru falaysa ba'daka shay', wa Anta az-Zahiru falaysa fawqaka shay', wa Anta al-Batinu falaysa duna ka shay'. Iqdi 'anni daynan wa aghnini min al-faqr.
