اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ، وَأَذِقْهُمْ مِنْ حَلَاوَةِ رِزْقِكَ، وَاجْعَلْهُمْ أَسْلَمَ أَسْلَمَ، وَاجْعَلْهُمْ أَصْحَابَ يَمِينٍ، وَاجْعَلْ لَهُمْ خَيْرَ بَرَكَةٍ، وَاجْعَلْهُمْ نِعْمَةً عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِمْ، وَسَقَاهُمْ بِمَاءِ الْإِيمَانِ، وَأَظْهَرَ بِهِمْ دِينَكَ.
O Allah, bless them in their eyes, and let them taste the sweetness of Your provision, and make them [fully] submit (to You), and make them companions of the right hand (in Paradise), and bestow upon them the best of blessings, and make them a bounty upon their parents, and nourish them with the water of faith, and manifest Your religion through them.
Allahumma barik lahum fi a'yunihim, wa adhiqhum min halawati rizqik, waj'alhum aslam aslam, waj'alhum ashab yamin, waj'al lahum khayra barakah, waj'alhum ni'matan 'ala abawaihim, wa saqahum bi ma'il imani, wa azhar bihim dinak.
