اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ صَبْرًا عَلَى قَضَائِكَ، وَشِفَاءً بَعْدَ عَطَائِكَ، وَرَخَاءً فِي رَخَائِكَ، وَلَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَاءَنَا مِنْكَ، وَلَا تُفْسِدْ عَلَيْنَا أَمْرَنَا، وَأَدِمْ عَلَيْنَا نِعَمَكَ، وَاهْدِنَا لِسَوَاءِ السَّبِيلِ، آمِينَ.
O Allah, I ask You for patience with Your decree, and healing after Your giving, and ease during Your ease, and do not cut off our hope in You, and do not corrupt our affairs for us, and perpetuate Your blessings upon us, and guide us to the right path. Ameen.
