اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ جَمَلْتَ خَلْقِي فَجَمِّلْ خُلُقِي وَارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ الْخَلْقِ وَحُسْنَ الْخُلُقِ وَحَرِّمْ وَجْهِي عَلَى النَّارِ.
O Allah, You have made my form beautiful, so make my character beautiful and grant me good character and good disposition, and forbid my face from the Fire.
Allahumma innaka jammalta khalqi fa jammil khuluqi warzuqni husnal khalqi wa husnal khuluqi wa harram wajhi 'alan-nar.
