اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ
O Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of all things, the Cleaver of the grain and the date-stone, the Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Furqan! I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything You are seizing by its forelock. O Allah, You are the First, and nothing is before You; You are the Last, and nothing is after You; You are the Apparent, and nothing is above You; You are the Hidden, and nothing is closer than You. Settle my debt and enrich me from poverty.
Allahumma Rabba as-samawati wa al-ard, Rabba kulli shay', faliq al-habbi wa an-nawa, wa munzil at-Tawrati wa al-Injili wa al-Furqan, a'udhu bika min sharri kulli shay'in anta akhidhun bi-nasiyatihi. Allahumma Anta al-Awwalu fa laysa qablaka shay', wa Anta al-Akhiru fa laysa ba'daka shay', wa Anta adh-Dhahiru fa laysa fawqaka shay', wa Anta al-Batinu fa laysa dunaka shay'. Iqdi 'anni ad-dayna wa aghnini min al-faqr.
