O Allah, I am Your slave,
and the son of Your male slave,
and the son of your female slave.
My forehead is in Your Hand (i.e. you have control over me).
Your Judgment upon me is assured,
and Your Decree concerning me is just.
I ask You by every Name that You have named Yourself with,
revealed in Your Book,
taught any one of Your creation,
or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You,
to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart,
and the light of my chest,
the banisher of my sadness,
and the reliever of my distress.

Allāhumma 'innī 'a`ūdhu bika

wa ‘l-`ajzi wa ‘l-kasal,
wa ‘l-bukhli wa ‘l-jubn,
wa ḍala`id-dayn,

O Allah, I seek refuge in you
from grief and sadness,
from weakness and from laziness,
from miserliness and from cowardice,
from being overcome by debt
and overpowered by men (i.e. others).
