اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الأَرْضِ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ. اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ البَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ.
O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, our Lord and Lord of all things, the One who causes the seed-grain and the date-stone to split and sprout, the Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an, I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything You are seizing by its forelock. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You; You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; You are the Outwardly apparent, so there is nothing above You; You are the Inwardly hidden, so there is nothing closer than You. Settle my debt and enrich me from poverty.

Allahumma Anta al-Awwalu fa laysa qablaka shay', wa Anta al-Akhiru fa laysa ba'daka shay', wa Anta adh-Dhahiru fa laysa fawqaka shay', wa Anta al-Batinu fa laysa dunaka shay', iqdi 'anni ad-dayna wa aghnini min al-faqr.
