اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجْأَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَأْسِ، وَدَرْكِ الشَّقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الأَعْدَاءِ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, and the reversal of the wellness You granted, and the suddenness of Your punishment, and all of Your displeasure. And I seek refuge in You from the hardship of distress, and the attainment of misery, and the evil of fate, and the rejoicing of enemies.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatik, wa fu'jati niqmatik, wa jami'i sakhatik, wa a'udhu bika min jahdil-ba's, wa darkish-shaqa'i, wa su'il-qada'i, wa shamatatil-a'da'.
