اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ قَلْبِي بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ لاَ يُرَدُّ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ صَاحِبٍ وَوَلَدٍ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, and the turning of Your protection, and the suddenness of Your punishment, and all of Your displeasure. And I seek refuge in You from the trial of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of wealth, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of poverty, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal. O Allah, cleanse my heart with the water of snow and hail. And purify my heart from sins as a white garment is purified from filth. And keep me far from my sins as You have kept the East and the West far apart. And I seek refuge in You from a punishment that is not repelled, and from the evil of a companion and a child.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatik, wa fuji'ati niqmatik, wa jami'i sakhatik. Wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-qabri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-ghina, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-faqr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid-Dajjal. Allahummaghsil qalbi bimath-thalaaji wal-barad. Wa naqqi qalbi minal-khataaya kama naqqaytas-thawbal-abyada minad-danas. Wa baa'id bayni wa bayna khataayaaya kama baa'adta baynal-mashriqi wal-maghrib. Wa a'udhu bika min 'adhabin la yuradd, wa min sharri saahibin wa walad.

Wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-qabri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-ghina, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-faqr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid-Dajjal. Allahummaghsil qalbi bimath-thalaaji wal-barad.
