O Allah! Give me all best goodness, and keep away from me all what You have decreed from evil, or trial, and forgive me what You know about me, and that certainly You have recorded for me from my sins, and fulfill my needs in what You are pleased with and is in my interest,

ا يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ الْفَضْلِ وَسِّعْ عَلَيَّ فِيْ الرِّزْقِ وَ الْاَجَلِ وَ اكْفِنِيْ مَا اَهَمَّنِيْ مِنْ اَمْرِ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِيْ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيْرٌ.
