اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الْأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا، أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اِقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنَ الْحَوَائِجِ وَأَغْنِنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ.
O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of all things. The One who causes the seed-grain and the date-stone to split and sprout. The One who revealed the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every creature that You are seizing by its forelock. You are the First, and there is nothing before You. You are the Last, and there is nothing after You. You are the Most显 ( الظاهر - The Apparent, The Outer), and there is nothing above You. You are the Most Hidden ( الباطن - The Inner), and there is nothing beyond You. Fulfill my debt and make me free from poverty.
