Grant me happiness through Your piety (taqwa), and do not make me wretched through disobedience to You. Choose what is best for me in Your decision, and place blessing for me in Your decree, so that I do not wish to hasten what You have delayed nor to delay what You have hastened. Place my sufficiency (or self-sufficiency) in my soul. Keep benefiting me through my hearing and sight, and make them both my heirs. Help me against whoever has wronged me, show me my retribution concerning him, and cool my eyes through that).

O Allah, place blessing for us in our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our souls and our offspring, and accept our repentance; indeed, You are the Oft-Accepting of repentance, the Most Merciful.
