“O‟ my God! We fast for You, and we break the fast with the food You give us. Thus please accept it from us. Thirst has vanished, the veins have moistened but the reward has remained.”

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي فَأَشْبَعَنِي وَ سَقَانِي فَأَرْوَانِي وَ صَانَنِي وَ حَمَانِي

“Praise be to God who fed me and satiated me; gave me drinks and removed my thirst; protected and supported me.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَرَّفَنِي الْبَرَكَةَ وَ الْيُمْنَ بِمَا أَصَبْتُهُ وَ تَرَكْتُهُ مِنْهُ

O‟ my God! Please let the food be delicious and beneficial, not accompanied with plague or other illnesses, and keep me healthy after eating it and continue to thank You and watchful of Your Obedience.

وَ ارْزُقْنِي رِزْقاً دَارّاً وَ أَعِشْنِي عَيْشاً قَارّاً وَ اجْعَلْنِي بَارّاً وَ اجْعَلْ مَا يَتَلَقَّانِي فِي الْمَعَادِ مُبْهِجاً سَارّاً بِرَحْمَتِكَ.

O‟ God! Please bless me with ample sustenance, and give me a stable life. Let me be a good doer and let whatever I may encounter on the Resurrection Day be a source of happiness for me out of Your Mercy.
