اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَائِدَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدًا لِأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِنْكَ ۖ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
Our Lord, bestow upon us from Your bounty a table spread with sustenance from the heavens, that it may be a festival for us and for those after us and a sign from You. And provide for us, for You are the best of providers.
