O God,
to You belongs praise for Your excellent accomplishment
and for Your trial which You have turned away from me!
But make not my share of Your mercy
the well-being which You have quickly granted to me,
lest I become wretched through what I have loved
and someone else gain felicity through what I have disliked!
If this well-being in which 1 pass the day or night should precede a trial that does not cease
and a burden that does not pass away,
then set before me what You had set behind
and set behind me what You had set before!
For that which ends in annihilation is not great
and that which ends in subsistence is not little.
And bless Muhammad and his Household!
