أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَخَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهَا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ
Amsayna wa amsal-mulku lillah, wal-hamdu lillah. La ilaha illallah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa Huwa ala kulli shay’in qadir. Rabbi as’aluka khaira ma fi hadhihil-laylati wa khaira ma ba’daha, wa a’udhu bika min sharri ma fi hadhihil-laylati wa sharri ma ba’daha. Rabbi a’udhu bika minal-kasali wa su’il-kibar. Rabbi a’udhu bika min adhabin fin-nari wa adhabin fil-qabr.
We have entered the evening and all dominion belongs to Allah; praise is for Allah. None is worthy of worship but Allah alone without partner — His is the dominion and His the praise, and He is over all things Powerful. My Lord, I ask You the good of this night and the good after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the evil of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.
