بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي، وَأَخْرِجْ قَلْبِي، وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي، وَقِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ.
In the name of Allah, I have laid down my side. O Allah, forgive my sins, purify my heart, make my affair easy for me, and protect me from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your servants.
Bismillah, wa da'tu janbi, Allahumma-ghfir li dhanbi, wa-akhrij qalbī, wa yassir li amrī, wa qinī 'adhābaka yawma tab'athu 'ibādak.
