اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
O Allah, I ask You for its [the wind's] good, and the good of what it contains, and the good of what it was sent with. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of what it contains, and the evil of what it was sent with.
Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha, wa khayra ma fiha, wa khayra ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha, wa sharri ma fiha, wa sharri ma ursilat bihi
