Allah! I complain to You my lack of strength, my scarcity of means, my insignificance in the eyes of others. O most clement of those who show compassion, You are the Lord of the meek, and You are my Lord. To whom shall You give me over: to some distant person to look upon me with contempt, or to some enemy to whom You shall give authority over my affair. So long as You are not displeased with me, it concerns me not, but Your relief is easier upon me. I seek refuge in the light of Your countenance—by which every crevice of darkness is illumined and by which every affair of this life and the hereafter is made whole—that Your wrath overtake me not, nor your displeasure descend upon me. I confess to You my shortcoming until You are content. There is no strength or power except with You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو ضَعْفَ قُوَّتي وَقِلَّةَ حِيلَتي وهَواني عَلى النّاسِ يا أَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ أَنْتَ رَبُّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ وَأَنْتَ رَبِّي إِلى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي إِلى بَعِيدٍ يَتَجَهَّمُنِي أَمْ إِلى عَدُوٍّ مَلَّكْتَهُ أَمْرِي إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِكَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبٌ فَلا أُبالِي غَيْرَ أَنَّ عافِيَتَكَ هِيَ أَوْسَعُ لِي أَعُوذُ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ الظُّلُماتُ وَصَلُحَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ الدُّنْيا والْآخِرَةِ أَنْ يَحِلَّ عَلَيَّ غَضَبُكَ أَوْ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ بِي سَخَطُكَ لَكَ الْعُتْبَى حَتَّى تَرْضَى وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلاّ بِكَ
