وَعَبِّدْنِي لَكَ وَلاتُفْسِدْ عِبادَتِي بِالعُجْبِ وَأَجْرِ...

وَعَبِّدْنِي لَكَ وَلاتُفْسِدْ عِبادَتِي بِالعُجْبِ وَأَجْرِ لِلْناسِ عَلى يَدَيَّ الخَيْرَ وَلا تَمْحَقْهُ بِالمَنِّ وَهَبْ لِي مَعالِي الاَخْلاقِ وَاعْصِمْنِي مِنَ الفَخْرِ، اللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَلا تَرْفَعْنِي فِي النَّاسِ دَرَجَةً إِلاّ حطَطْتَنِي عِنْدَ نَفْسِي مِثْلَها وَلا تُحْدِثْ لِي عِزّاً ظاهِراً إِلاّ أَحْدَثْتَ لِي ذِلَّةً باطِنَةً عِنْدَ نَفْسِي بِقَدَرِها، اللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمَتِّعْنِي بِهُدىً صالِحٍ لا اسْتَبْدِلُ بِهِ وَطَرِيقَةِ حَقٍّ لا أَزِيغُ عَنْها وَنِيَّةِ رُشْدٍ لا أَشُكُّ فِيها، وَعَمِّرْنِي ما كانَ عُمْرِي بِذْلَةً فِي طاعَتِكَ فَإِذا كانَ عُمْرِي مَرْتَعاً لِلْشَّيْطانِ فَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْبِقَ مَقْتُكَ إِلَيّ أَوْ يَسْتَحْكِمَ غَضَبُكَ عَلَيَّ، اللّهُمَّ لاتَدَعْ خِصْلَةً تُعابُ مِنِّي إِلاّ أَصْلَحْتَها وَلا عائِبَةً أُؤَنَّبُ بِها إِلاّ أَحْسَنْتَها وَلا أُكْرُومَةً فِيَّ ناقِصَةً إِلاّ أَتْمَمْتَها !

O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. Replace for me; the enimity of the people of hatred with love, the jealousy of the rebellious people with affection, the suspicion of the virtuous people with confidence the enmity of the close ones with friendship, the disrespect of relatives to devotion, the desertion of the close ones with help, the attachment of flatterers with reformed regard, the rejection of associates with good behaviour, and the bitterness of the fear of oppressors with the sweetness of security.

O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family, Give me, a hand (power) over one wrongs me, a tongue over one who disputes with me, and a victory over one who stubbornly resists me. Grant me, craftiness against one who deceives me, power over one who oppresses me, refutation of one who accuses me falsely, and safety from one who threatens me. Give me the success to, obey one who directs me to what is proper and follow one who guides me to what is right.
