اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your judgment is effective concerning me. Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or reserved for Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen which You possess, that You make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the remover of my worries.
Allahumma inni 'abduka, ibnu 'abdika, ibnu amatika, nasiyatii biyadika, madhin fiyya hukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qadaa'uka. As'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka sammaita bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fi kitabika, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilmil-ghaybi 'indaka, an taj'ala al-Qur'ana rabii'a qalbi, wa nuura sadri, wa jalaa'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammii.

Narrated Abdullah bin Masud: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'There is no one who is afflicted with grief or sadness and says these words, except that Allah Almighty will take away his grief and sadness, and replace them with joy.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Should we learn these words?' He said, 'Yes, of course! Everyone who hears them should learn them.' So, we learned them and our homes were filled with joy. (The narrator mentioned the dua: Allahumma inni 'abduka, ibnu 'abdika, ibnu amatika, nasiyatii biyadika, madhin fiyya hukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qadaa'uka. As'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka sammaita bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fi kitabika, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilmil-ghaybi 'indaka, an taj'ala al-Qur'ana rabii'a qalbi, wa nuura sadri, wa jalaa'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammii.)
