O‟ my God! Please do not debase me after You honor me, do not lower my rank after You raise it, and do not leave me helpless after You give me victory.

هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ ذُنُوبِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ أَدْعِيَتِي مَسْمُوعَةً وَ قُرُبَاتِي مَقْبُولَةً فَ إِنَّكَ عَلى‌ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ

Please during this night forgive my sins, hear my prayers, and accept my deeds as indeed You have Power over all things. Please bestow blessings on the Prophet Muhammad and his Progeny (a) and may His peace be on them plentifully.”
