اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ 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 مِنَ الْفَقْرِ.
O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, the One who causes the grain and the date-stone to split and sprout, the Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Criterion (Quran). I seek refuge in You from the evil of all things You seize by the forelock. O Allah, You are the First, and there is nothing before You; You are the Last, and there is nothing after You; You are the Most显( الظاهر - The Apparent/Exalted), and there is nothing above You; You are the Most Hidden ( الباطن - Al-Batin), and there is nothing nearer than You. Grant us relief from our debt and enrich us from poverty.
Allahumma Rabba as-samawati as-sab'i wa Rabba al-'arshil-'adheem, Rabbana wa Rabba kulli shay', Faliqal-habbi wan-nawa, wa Munzil at-Tawrati wal-Injeeli wal-Furqan. A'udhu bika min sharri kulli shay'in anta akhidhun bi-nasiyatih. Allahumma Antal-Awwalu falaysa qablaka shay'un, wa Antal-Akhiru falaysa ba'daka shay'un, wa Anta Adh-Dhahiru falaysa fawqaka shay'un, wa Antal-Batinu falaysa doonaka shay'un. Iqdi 'anna daynana wa aghnina minal-faqr.

[And I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of] myself and from the evil of every tyrant and disobedient one.' He said: 'And he used to teach them (when they woke up): 'Allahumma Rabba as-samawati as-sab'i wa Rabba al-'arshil-'adheem, Rabbana wa Rabba kulli shay', Faliqal-habbi wan-nawa, wa Munzil at-Tawrati wal-Injeeli wal-Furqan.
