اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الأَرْضِ، وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ، أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنِي، وَأَغْنِنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ.
O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, and Lord of all things, the One who causes the grain and the date-stone to spring forth, the Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every creature You are seizing by its forelock. You are the First, and nothing is before You; You are the Last, and nothing is after You; You are the Apparent, and nothing is above You; You are the Hidden, and nothing is closer than You. Settle my debt and enrich me from poverty.
Allahumma Rabba as-samawati wa Rabba al-ard, wa Rabba kulli shay', faliq al-habbi wa an-nawa, wa munzila at-Tawrati wal-Injili wal-Furqan, a'udhu bika min sharri kulli dhi sharra anta akhidhun binasiyatihi. Anta al-Awwalu falaysa qablaka shay', wa Anta al-Akhiru falaysa ba'daka shay', wa Anta az-Zahiru falaysa fawqaka shay', wa Anta al-Batinu falaysa duna ka shay'. Iqdi 'anni dayni wa aghnini min al-faqr.
