یَا مَنْ یَسْئَلُہٗ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ، کُلَّ یَوْمٍ ہُوَ فِیْ شَانٍ. اَللّٰہُمَّ فَاجْعَلْ مِنْ شَاْنِکَ شَاْنَ حَاجَتِیْ، وَ اقْضِ لِیْ فِیْ شَانِکَ حَاجَتِیْ وَ حَاجَتِیْ اِلَیْکَ. اَللّٰہُمَّ الْعِتْقُ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَ اَنْ تُقْبِلَ عَلَیَّ بِوَجْہِکَ الْکَرِیْمِ.
Yaa Man Yas-Alohu Man Fis Samaawaate Wal Arze, Kulla Yawmin Howa Fee Shaanin. Allaahumma Faj-A’l Min Shaaneka Shaane Haajatee, Waq Ze Lee Fee Shaaneka Haajatee Wa Haajatee Elayka. Allaahummal I’tqo Menan Naare, Wa An Tuqbela A’layya Be-Wajhekal Kareeme.
O the one Whom everything in the Heavens and the Earth questions, and Who is in the same condition all the time. O Allah! By Your power listen to my request and in this condition grant me my request. O Allah! I request You to free me from hell, and put Your Honoured attention on me.
After this, raise the hands towards the skies and say:
اَللهُ اَکْبَرُ اَللهُ اَکْبَرُ اَللهُ اَکْبَرُ مُقَدَّسًا مُعَظَّمًا مُوَقَّرًا، اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِیْ لَمْ یَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ یَکُنْ لَہٗ شَرِیْکٌ فِیْ المُلُکِ، وَ لَمْ یَکُنْ لَہٗ وَلِیٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ کَبِّرْہُ تَکْبِیْرًا. اَللهُ اَکْبَرُ اَہْلَ التَّکْبِیْرِ وَ الْحَمْدِ وَ الثَّنَآءِ وَ التَّقْدِیْسِ وَ الْمَجْدِ. وَ لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللهُ، وَ اللهُ اَکْبَرُ، لَمْ یَلِدْ وَ لَمْ یُوْلَدْ، وَ لَمْ یَکُنْ لَہٗ کُفُوًا اَحَدٌ. اَللهُ اَکْبَرُ لَا شَرِیْکَ لَہٗ فِیْ تَکْبِیْرِیْ بَلْ مُخْلِصًا اَقُوْلُ، وَ بِاللهِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیْمِ. اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّیْطَانِ الرَّجِیْمِ.
Allaaho Akbaro Allaaho Akbaro Allaaho Akbaro Moqaddasan Mo-A’zzaman Mowaqqaran, Al-Hamdo Lillaahil Lazee Lam Yattakhiz Waladan Wa Lam Yakun Lahu Waliyyun Menaz Zulle Wa Kabbirho Takbeeran. Allaaho Akbaro Ahlat Takbeere Wal Hamde Was Sanaaa-E Wat Taqdeese Wal Majde. Wa Laa Elaaha Illal Laaho, Wal Laaho Akbaro, Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yoolad, Wa Lam Yakun Lahu Kofowan Ahadun. Allaaho Akbaro Laa Shareeka Lahu Fee Takbeeree Bal Mukhlesan Aqoolo, Wa Billaahil A’liyyil A’zeeme. A-O’ozo Billaahe Menash Shaytaanir Rajeem.
Allah is great! Allah is great! Allah is great! Sanctified, exalted, venerable. All Praise is for Allah, Who has not taken a son and Who has no partner in the kingdom, and Who has no helper to save Him from disgrace and proclaim His greatness magnifying Him. Allah is Great and He deserves greatness, praise, divine decree and there is no god except Allah and Allah is great. He begets not, nor is He begotten and none is like Him. Allah is great. There is no partner for Him and I swear by His greatness and Honour and say I seek refuge through You from the Satan the stoned one.

Set both the feet on the ground put them together and without looking here and there and with full concentration recite the following prayer in the 1st unit after Surah Hamd, recite Surah Ikhlas (Chapter 112) Surah Sajdah (Chapter 32) and Surah Ha Meem Sajdah or any other Surah, or as much it is possible, then in the 2nd unit recite Surah Yasin (Chapter 36) then in 3rd unit recite Ha Meem Dukhaan (Chapter 44) and then in 4th unit recite Surah Mulk (Chapter 67) or any of the chapters which one remembers when he completes the 1st unit, before bowing for Ruku, he should recite the below mentioned prayer 15 times:
لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللهُ وَ اللهُ اَکْبَرُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَ بِحَمْدِہٖ، وَ تَبَارَکَ اللهُ وَ تَعَالٰی، مَا شَآءَ اللهُ، لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّۃً اِلَّا بِاللهِ، وَ لَا مَلْجَاَ وَ لَا مَنْجَاَ مِنَ اللهِ اِلَّا اِلَیْہِ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَ اللهُ اَکْبَرُ، وَ لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللهُ عَدَدَ الشَّفْعِ وَ الْوَتْرِ وَ الرَّمْلِ وَ الْقَطْرِ، وَ عَدَدَ کَلِمَاتِ رَبِّیَ التَّامَّاتِ الطَّیِّبَاتِ الْمُبَارَکَاتِ.
Laa Elaaha Illal Laaho Wal Laaho Akbaro Wal Hamdo Lillaahe Wa Subhaanal Laahe Wa Be-Hamdehi, Wa Tabaarakal Laaho Wa Ta-A’alaa, Maa Shaaa-Al Laaho, Laa Hawla Wa Laa Quwwata Illaa Billaahe, Wa Laa Mal-Ja-A Wa Laa Manja-A Menal Laahe Illaa Elayhe, Subhaanal Laahe Wal Laaho Akbaro, Wa Laa Elaaha Illal Laaho A’dadash Shaf-E’ Wal Watre War Ramle Wal Qatre, Wa A’dada Kalemaate Rabbeyat Taammaatit Tayyebaatil Mobaarakaate.
There is no god except Allah and Allah is great. Praise is for Allah, Glorification is for Allah and for Him is the praise and Allah is Honoured. There is no might or Power, but with Allah, nor a place of refuge except with Allah. Glorified is Allah, and Allah is great and there is no god but Allah equal to the number of evens and odds to the number of pebbles and to the number of raindrops and to the number of complete and pure words of Allah.

After that lift the hand upto the shoulders then recite Takbir i.e. Allah is great then bow down (do Ruku) and then in bowing position recite 10 times then raise the head and recite 10 times then recite Takbir and go in prostration and recite 10 times then get up from prostration and in sitting position recite 10 times. Again go in prostration and recite 10 times then get up for second unit and before reciting Surah Hamd recite the above prayer 10 times and complete the second unit as the first one:
اَللهُ اَکْبَرُ اَللهُ اَکْبَرُ اَللهُ اَکْبَرُ ALLAAHO AKBARO ALLAAHO AKBARO ALLAAHO AKBARO. And Allah is Great, Allah is Great, Allah is Great

as he had said in 1st unit and after Tashhahud recite this prayer:
بِسْمِ اللهِ، اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَتَوَجَّهُ اِلَیْکَ بِصَلَوَاتِیْ مُخْلِصًا لَکَ لَا شَرِیْکَ لَکَ سُبْحَانَکَ وَ بِحَمْدِکَ، کَذِبَ الْعَادِلُوْنَ بِکَ، اَلتَّحِیَّاتُ وَ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلهِ. اَللّٰہُمَّ اجْعَلْہَا صَلٰوۃً طَاہِرَۃً مِنَ الرِّیَاءِ، وَ اجْعَلْہَا زَاکِیَۃً لِیْ عِنْدَکَ وَ تَقَبَّلْہَا مِنِّیْ یَا وَلِیَّ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ، اَللّٰہُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَ عَلٰی جَمِیْعِ اَنْبِیَائِکَ وَ اخْصُصْ مُحَمَّدًا وَ اٰلِ مُحمَّدٍ بِاَفْضَلِہَا، وَ سَلِّمْ عَلٰی مَلَائِکَتِکَ الْمُقَرَّبِیْنَ، وَ اخْصُصْ جَبْرَائِیْلَ وَ مِیْکَائِیْلَ وَ اِسْرَافِیْلَ مِنْ سَلَامَتِکَ بِاَنْمَاہَا. ثُمَّ سَلِّمْ عَلٰی عِبَادِکَ الصَّالِحِیْنَ، وَ اخْصُصْ اَوْلِیَائَکَ الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ مِنْ سَلَامِكَ بِاَدْوَمِہٖ وَ بَارِکَ عَلَیْہِمْ وَ عَلَیَّ وَ عَلٰی وَالِدَیَّ مَعَہُمْ وَ عَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ.

In the name of Allah, O Allah! By the help of this prayer I approach You attentively and sincerely. You have no partner. You are Pure and Praise belongs to You. Those who revolt against You are liars. Complete Islam and prayers are for Allah, O Allah make this prayer free from show off and classify it as Pure, and chaste in Your presence. O the guardian of the believers, bless Muhammad and his progeny and all Your Prophets, then confer upon Muhammad and his progeny a special blessings from those blessings and grant protection to Your special appointed angel; specially Jibraeel, Israfil and Mikaeel send on them Your exclusive blessings. Then bestow double blessings upon Your selected believers and friends and on all of them and also on me, my parents and on all believers bestow Your Mercy and blessings.

And after Salaam say:
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اُشْہِدُکَ وَ کَفٰی بِکَ شَہِیْدًا، اِنِّیْ اَشْہَدُ اَنَّکَ اَنْتَ رَبِّیْ وَ اَنَّ رَسُوْلَکَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّی اللهُ عَلَیْہِ وَ اٰلِہٖ نَبِیِّيْ وَ اَنَّ الدِّیْنَ الَّذِیْ شَرَعْتَ لَہٗ دِیْنِیْ، وَ اَنَّ الْکِتَابَ الَّذِیْ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْہِ اِمَامِیْ، وَ اَشْہَدُ اَنَّ قَوْلَکَ حَقٌّ، وَ اَنَّ قَضَائَکَ حَقٌّ، وَ اَنَّ عَطَائَکَ حَقٌّ عَدْلٌ، وَ اَنَّ جَنَّتَکَ حَقٌّ، وَ اَنَّ نَارَکَ حَقٌّ، وَ اَنَّکَ تُمِیْتُ الْاَحْیَاءَ، وَ تُحْیِ الْمَوْتٰی، وَ اَنَّکَ تُبْعَثُ مَنْ فِی الْقُبُوْرِ، وَ اَنَّکَ جَامِعُ النَّاسِ لِیَوْمٍ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْہِ، لَا تُغَادِرُ مِنْہُمْ اَحَدًا، وَ اَنَّکَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِیْعَادَ. اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اُشْہِدُکَ وَ کَفٰی بِکَ شَہِیْدًا، فَاشْہَدْ لِیْ یَا رَبِّ بِاَنَّکَ اَنْتَ الْمُنْعِمُ عَلَیَّ لَا غَیْرُکَ، وَ اَنْتَ مَوْلَایَ الَّذِیْ بِاَنْعُمِکَ تُتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ. اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِیْ مَغْفِرَۃً عَزْمًا لَا نُغَادِرُ لِیْ ذَنْبًا، وَ لَا اَرْتَکِبُ بِعَوْنِکَ لِیْ بَعْدَہَا مُحَرَّمًا، وَ عَافِنِیْ مُعَافَاۃً لَا بَلْوٰی بَعْدَہَا اَبَدًا، اَللّٰہُمَّ اَہْدِنِیْ ہُدًی لَا اَضِلُّ بَعْدَہٗ اَبَدًا، وَ انْفَعْنِیْ مِمَّا عَلَّمْتَنِیْ، وَ اجْعَلْہُ حُجَّۃً لِیْ، وَ لَا تَجْعَلْہُ عَلَیَّ، وَ ارْزُقْنِیْ رِزْقًا حَلَالًا مُبْلِغًا، وَ رَضِّنِیْ بِہٖ، وَ تُبْ عَلَیَّ. یَا اَللهُ یَا اَللهُ یَا اَللهُ، یَا رَحْمٰنُ یَا رَحِیْمُ، اِہْدِنِیْ وَ ارْحَمْنِیْ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ اہْدِنِیْ لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِیْہِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِاِذْنِکَ، اِنَّکَ تَہْدِیْ مَنْ تَشَاءُ اِلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِیْمٍ، وَ اعْصِمْنِیْ مِنَ الشَّیْطَانِ الرَّجِیْمِ، وَ اَبْلِغْ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّی اللهُ عَلَیْہِ وَ اٰلِہٖ عَنِّیْ تَحِیَّۃً مُبَارَکَۃً وَ سَلَامًا، اٰمِیْنَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِیْنَ.
