لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ
la ilaha illa allahu wahdahu la sharika lahu lahu almulku wa lahu alhamdu wa huwa allatifu alkhabiru
There is no god save Allah; One and Only and having no partner. To Him is the Kingdom and to Him is (all) praise. He is the Knower of subtleties, the Aware.

لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَيُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِي وَهُوَحَيٌّ لاَ يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ ٱلْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
la ilaha illa allahu wahdahu la sharika lahu lahu almulku wa lahu alhamdu yuhyi wa yumitu wa yumitu wa yuhyi wa huwa hayyun la yamutu biyadihi alkhayru wa huwa `ala kulli shay'in qadirun
There is no god save Allah; One and Only and having no partner. To Him is the Kingdom and to Him is (all) praise. He gives life and causes to die and causes to die and gives life, while He is ever-living and never dies. In His Hand is the entire goodness and He has power over all things.

اسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ وَاتُوبُ إِلَيْه
astaghfiru allaha alladhi la ilaha illa huwa alhayyu alqayyumu wa atubu ilayhi
I pray the forgiveness of Allah; there is no god save Him, the Ever-living, the Self-subsistent, and I repent to Him.

يَا ٱللَّهُ يَا ٱللَّهُ
ya allahu ya allahu
O Allah, O Allah!

يَا رَحْمٰنُ يَا رَحْمٰنُ
ya rahmanu ya rahmanu
O All-beneficent, O All-beneficent!

يَا رَحِيمُ يَا رَحِيمُ

O All-merciful, O All-merciful!

يَا بَدِيعَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلارْضِ
ya badi`a alssamawati wal-ardi
O Fashioner of the heavens and the earth!

يَا ذَا ٱلْجَلاَلِ وَٱلإِكْرَامِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
O Allah, bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad.

اللَّهُمَّ ٱفْعَلْ بِي مَا انْتَ اهْلُهُ

آمِينَ آمِينَ
amina amina
(please do) Respond, respond.

قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ احَدٌ
qul huwa allahu ahadun
Say: He, Allah, is One.
You should then say the following:
اللَّهُمَّ ٱصْنَعْ بِي مَا انْتَ اهْلُهُ
allahumma isna` bi ma anta ahluhu
O Allah, do with me that which You are worthy to do

وَلاَ تَصْنَعْ بِي مَا انَا اهْلُهُ
wa la tasna` bi ma ana ahluhu
but do not do to me that which I deserve,

فَإِنَّكَ اهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَاهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
fa'innaka ahlu alttaqwa wa ahlu almaghfirati
for You are worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive,

وَانَا اهْلُ ٱلذُّنُوبِ وَٱلْخَطَايَا
wa ana ahlu aldhdhunubi walkhataya
while I am the one of sins and faults.

فَٱرْحَمْنِي يَا مَوْلاَيَ
farhamni ya mawlaya
So, have mercy upon me, O my Lord,

وَانْتَ ارْحَمُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
wa anta arhamu alrrahimina
and You are the most merciful of all those who show mercy.

Then repeat the following ten times:
لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ
la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi
There is neither power nor might save with Allah.

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَىٰ ٱلْحَيِّ ٱلَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ
tawakkaltu `ala alhayyi alladhi la yamutu
I trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً
walhamdu lillahi alladhi lm yattakhidh waladan
All praise be to Allah, Who begets no son,

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي ٱلْمُلْكِ
wa lam yakun lahu sharikun fi almulki
and has no partner in His dominion

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ
wa lam yakun lahu waliyyun mina aldhdhulli
nor needs He any to protect Him from humiliation:

وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
wa kabbirhu takbiran
yea, magnify Him for His greatness and glory!
