اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جُبِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جُبِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ.
O Allah, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of what You have created it with, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what You have created it with.
Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha wa khayra ma jubilat 'alayhi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma jubilat 'alayhi.
