Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar,
Subḥāna ‘l-ladhi sakhkhara lanā hādhā
wa mā kunnā lahu muqrinīn.
Wa innā ilā Rabbinā lamunqalibūn.
Allāhumma innā nas'aluka fī safarinā hādha ‘l-birra wat-taqwā,
Wa mina ‘l-`amali mā tarḍā,
Allāhumma hawwin `alaynā safaranā hādhā

Allāhumma antas-sāḥibu fis-safar,

Allāhumma innī a`ūdhu bika min wa`thā'is-safar,
wa ka'ābati ‘l-manẓar,
wa sū'il-munqalabi fil-māli wa ‘l-ahl.

Li Rabbinā ḥāmidūn.
Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great.
Glory is to Him Who has provided this for us
though we could never have had it by our efforts.
Surely, unto our Lord we are returning.
O Allah, we ask You on this our journey for goodness and piety,
and for works that are pleasing to You.
O Allah, lighten this journey for us
and make its distance easy for us.
O Allah, You are our Companion on the road
and the One in Whose care we leave our family.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from this journey's hardships,
and from the wicked sights in store
and from finding our family and property in misfortune upon returning.
(Upon returning recite the same again adding :)
We return repentant to our Lord, worshipping our Lord,
and praising our Lord.
