اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو، فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.
O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for, so do not entrust me to my own affairs even for the blink of an eye, and set right for me all my affairs. There is no god but You.
*Allahumma rahmataka arju, fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata 'ain, wa aslih li sha'ni kullahu, la ilaha illa ant.*
