اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ. اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنَّا دَيْنَناَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنْ فَقْرِنَا.
O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne. Our Lord and Lord of all things. The splitter of the grain and the date stone. The revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. I seek refuge in You from the evil of all things, the forelock of which You are holding. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You; You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; You are the apparent, so there is nothing above You; You are the hidden, so there is nothing closer than You. Discharge our debt and enrich us from poverty.

A'udhu bika min sharri kulli shay'in anta akhidhun binasiyatihi. Allahumma antal-awwal falaysa qablaka shay'un, wal-antal-akhiru falaysa ba'daka shay'un, wanta adh-dhahiru falaysa fawqaka shay'un, wantal-batinu falaysa dunaka shay'un. Iqdi 'anna daynana wa aghnina min faqrina.
