أَيْ رَبِّ أَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِيْ طَلَعَ مِنْ أُفُقِ السِّجْنِ بِسُلْطانِكَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ بِأَنْ تُقَدِّرَ لِلْكُلِّ ما يَنْبَغِيْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَيَلِيقُ لِشَأْنِكَ

I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by Him Who is Thy Name, Who, through the power of Thy sovereignty and might, hath risen above the horizon of His prison, to ordain for everyone what becometh Thee and beseemeth Thine exaltation.
