Allah, through You we have reached the evening and the morning. Through You we live and die; to You is the return.

اللهم أنت ربي لا إله إلا أنت خلقتني وأنا عبدك

Allāhumma anta rabbī, lā ilāha illā anta. Khalaqtanī wa-anā ʿabduk.

Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me, and I am Your servant.

وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت

Wa-anā ʿalā ʿahdika wa-waʿdika mā staṭaʿt.

I stand by Your covenant and promise as far as I am able.

أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت

Aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿt.

I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done.

أبوء لك بنعمتك علي وأبوء لك بذنبي

Abūʾu laka bi-niʿmatika ʿalayya wa-abūʾu laka bi-dhanbī.

I acknowledge Your favour upon me, and I acknowledge my sin to You.

فاغفر لي فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت

Fa-ghfir lī, fa-innahu lā yaghfiru dh-dhunūba illā ant.

So forgive me, for no one forgives sins except You.

اللهم فاطر السموات والأرض عالم الغيب والشهادة رب كل شىء ومليكه

Allāhumma fāṭira s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍi, ʿālima l-ghaybi wa-sh-shahādati, rabba kulli shayʾin wa-malīkah.

Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Lord and Sovereign of everything,

أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت أعوذ بك من شر نفسي وشر الشيطان وشركه

Ashhadu an lā ilāha illā ant. Aʿūdhu bika min sharri nafsī wa-sharri sh-shayṭāni wa-shirkih.

I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self and from the evil of Satan and his call to associate partners with You.
