O All\h! guide us with Divine guidance, and robe us in piety.
Forgive us in the hereafter and in this world.
O All\h! I ask You from your bounty and generosity
pure, blessed sustenance.
O All\h! You have ordered us to supplicate,
and You have made it necessary upon Yourself to accept,
and You neither go against Your promise, nor break Your Word.
O All\h! make the good that You love beloved to and easy for us.
Make the bad that You dislike hateful to us and protect us from it.
Do not take Isl\m away from us after You have bestowed it upon us.
