اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَأَغْنِنِي مِنْ الْفَقْرِ.
O Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of all things. The Cleaver of the grain and the date-stone, the Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every evil-doer, the forelock of whom You seize. O Allah, You are the First, and there is nothing before You. You are the Last, and there is nothing after You. You are the Evident, and there is nothing above You. You are the Hidden, and there is nothing nearer than You. Discharged my debt and enrich me from poverty.
Allahumma Rabba as-samawati wa al-ard, Rabba kulli shay', faliq al-habbi wa an-nawa, wa munzil at-tawrati wal-injili wal-Qur'an. A'udhu bika min sharri kulli dhi sharri anta akhidhun binasiyatih. Allahumma anta al-Awwalu falaysa qablaka shay', wa anta al-Akhiru falaysa ba'daka shay', wa anta adh-Dhahiru falaysa fawqaka shay', wa anta al-Batinu falaysa dunaka shay'. Iqdi 'anni dayni wa aghnini min al-faqr.
