أَيْ رَبِّ لا تَجْعَلْنِي مَحْرُومًا عَمَّا عِنْدَكَ وَغافِلاً عَمَّا أَرَدْتَهُ فِيْ أَيَّامِكَ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ المُتَعالِ العَزِيزُ الحَكِيمُ.

Deny me not, O my Lord, what is with Thee, and suffer me not to be forgetful of what Thou didst desire in Thy days. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, the All-Wise.
