اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو، فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, so do not leave me to myself for the blink of an eye, and set right all my affairs. There is no god but You.
Allahumma rahmataka arju, fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata 'ain, wa aslih li sha'ni kullahu, la ilaha illa anta.
