اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ صَبْرًا عَلَى مَا كَرِهْتُ، وَعَيْشًا بَعْدِي سَعِيدًا، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْفَدُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَا بَعْدَ الْقَضَاءِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ، وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ، فِي غَيْرِ ضَرَّاءٍ مُضِرَّةٍ، وَلَا فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ، اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الْإِيمَانِ، وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ
O Allah, I ask You for patience during what I dislike, and a happy life after this [life]. And I ask You for coolness of the eye that does not cease. And I ask You for contentment after Your decree, and I ask You for the pleasantness of life after death, and I ask You for the delight of looking at Your Face, and longing to meet You, without any distressing harm or misleading trial. O Allah, adorn us with the adornment of faith, and make us guides who guide others and are guided.

Allahumma zayyinna bizinatul-imani, waj'alna hudatan muhtadeen.
