O Allah! Guide me as those whom You have guided, and grant me well-being as those whom You have granted well-being, and take care of my affair as those whose affairs You have taken care of

َ بَارِكْ لِيْ فِيْمَا اَعْطَيْتَ وَ قِنِيْ شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ اِنَّكَ تَقْضِيْ وَ لَا يُقْضٰى عَلَيْكَ

baarik lee feeman a-a’tayta wa qenee sharra maa qazayta innaka taqzee wa laa yuqzaa a’layka

and bless me in what You grant me and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed, truly You decree and nothing is decreed upon You.

سُبْحَانَكَ رَبَّ الْبَيْتِ اَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ اَتُوْبُ اِلَيْكَ وَ اُوْمِنُ بِكَ وَ اَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِكَ يَا رَحِيْمُ.

subhaanaka rabbal bayte astaghferoka wa atoobo elayka wa oomeno beka wa atawakkalo a’layka wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa beka yaa raheemo.

Glory be to You O Lord of the House! I seek forgiveness from You and turn to You, and I seek refuge with You and rely on You, and there is no power or might but by Your will, O Most Merciful!

wa huzira `alayya al`amalu

when action will be banned,

so, no one will ever visit me

وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْنِي ذَاكِرٌ

wa lam yadhkurni dhakirun

and no one will ever remember me,

وَظَهَرَتْ مِنِّي ٱلْمَآثِمُ

when the responsibilities of my sins will appear,

وَٱسْتَوْلَتْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْمَظَالِمُ

wastawlat `alayya almazalimu

إِلٰهِي ذَهَبَتْ ايَّامُ لَذَّاتِي

ilahi dhahabat ayyamu ladhdhati

O Allah, the days of my pleasures have gone away

وَبَقِيَتْ مَآثِمِي وَتَبِعَاتِي

I have thus come to You repentant and penitent.

O Allah! I am a sinner, I have done oppression on my self, and whatever I have done is wrong,

فَهَذِهِ يَدَایَ یَا رَبِِّ جَزَآءَ بِمَا کَسَبْتُ وَ هَاذِهِ

Fahadhihi yadaya ya Rabbi jaza'an bima kasabtu wa hadhihi

Raqabatee khadi'atan lima ataytu wa ha ana dha bayna yadayk
