اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ. اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنَّا دَيْنَناَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنْ فَقْرِناَ. اَللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ، وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ.
O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, the Splitter of the seed and the date stone, the Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran, I seek refuge in You from the evil of all things You are seizing by its forelock. O Allah, You are the First, before Whom nothing exists, and You are the Last, after Whom nothing exists, You are the apparent, above Whom nothing exists, and You are the hidden, closer than Whom nothing exists. Settle our debts for us and enrich us from poverty. O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful, so that I may not resort to what You have made unlawful, and enrich me with Your bounty, so that I may not need to ask from anyone other than You.
Allahumma Rabba as-samawati as-sab'i wa Rabba al-'arshil-'adheem, Rabbana wa Rabba kulli shay', Faliqal-habbi wan-nawa, wa Munzil at-Tawrati wal-Injeeli wal-Furqan, a'udhu bika min sharri kulli shay'in anta akhidhun binasiyatih. Allahumma Antal-Awwalu falaysa qablaka shay', wa Antal-Akhiru falaysa ba'daka shay', wa Anta Adh-Dhahiru falaysa fawqaka shay', wa Antal-Batinu falaysa dunaka shay', iqdi 'anna daynana wa aghnina min faqrina. Allahumma ikfini bihalalika 'an haramika, wa aghnini bifadlika 'amman siwak.
