اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهَا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ رِزْقِي فِيهَا وَاسِعًا وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ أَمْرِي فِيهَا يُسْرًا وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِي وَأَنْ تَرْحَمَنِي
O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this night and the goodness of what is in it and the goodness of what comes after it. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what comes after it. O Allah, I ask You to make my provision in it abundant, and to make my affair in it easy, and to forgive my sin, and to have mercy on me.
