بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ. اَللّٰہُمَّ اَسْئَلُکَ مَسْئَلَۃَ الْمِسْکِیْنِ الْمُسْتَکِیْنِ وَ اَبْتَغِیْ اِلَیْکَ ابْتِغَآءَ الْبَائِسِ الْفَقِیْرِ وَ اَتَضَرَّعُ اِلَیْکَ تَضَرُّعَ الضَّعِیْفِ وَ اَبْتَہِلُ اِلَیْکَ ابْتِہَالَ الْمُذْنِبِ الذَّلِیْلِ وَ اَسْئَلُکَ مَسْئَلَۃَ مَنْ خَشَعَتْ لَکَ نَفْسُہٗ وَ غَفَرَ لَکَ وَ جْہَہٗ وَ خَضَعَتْ لَکَ نَاصِیَتَہٗ وَ سَالَتْ وَ صَلَّتْ اِلَیْکَ دُمُوْعُہٗ وَ فَاضَتْ اِلَیْکَ عَبْرَتُہٗ وَ اِعْتَرَفَ اِلَیْکَ بِخَطِیْئَتِہٖ وَ ضَلَّتْ عَنْہُ حِیْلَتُہٗ وَ انْقَطَعَتْ عَنْہُ حُجَّتُہٗ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَیْکَ وَ بِحَقِّکَ الْعَظِیْمِ عَلَیْہِمْ اَنْ تُصَلِّیَ عَلَیْہِمْ کَمَا اَنْتَ اَہْلُہٗ وَ اَنْ تُصَلِّیَ عَلٰی نَبِیِّکَ وَ اٰلِ نَبِیِّکَ وَ اَنْ تُعْطِیَنِیْ اَفْضَلَ مَا اَعْطَیْتَ السَّآئِلِیْنَ مِنْ عِبَادِکَ الْمَاضِیْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ اَفْضَلَ مَا تُعْطِی الْبَاقِیْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ اَفْضَلَ مَا تُعْطِیْ مَا تَخْلُقُہٗ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآئِکَ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ مِمَّنْ جَعَلْتَ لَہٗ خَیْرَ الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَۃِ یَا کَرِیْمُ وَ اَعْطِنِیْ فِیْ مَجْلِسِیْ ہٰذَا مَغْفِرۃَ مَا مَضٰی مِنْ ذُنُوْبِیْ وَ اَنْ تَعْصِمَنِیْ فِیْمَا بَقِیَ مِنْ عُمْرِیْ وَ اَنْ تَرْزُقَنِیْ الْحَجَّ وَ الْعُمْرَۃَ فِیْ عَامِیْ ہٰذَا مُتَقَبَّلًا مَبْرُوْرًا خَالِصًا لِوَجْہِکَ الْکَرِیْمِ وَ اَنْ تَرْزُقَنِیْہِ اَبَدًا مَا اَبْقَیْتَنِیْ یَا کَرِیْمُ یَا کَرِیْمُ وَ اکْفِنِیْ مَئُوْنَۃَ نَفْسِیْ وَ اکْفِنِیْ مَئُوْنَۃَ عِیَالِیَ وَ اکْفِنِیْ مَئُوْنَۃَ خَلْقِکَ وَ اکْفِنِیْ شَرَّ فَسَقَۃِ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ وَ اکْفِنِیْ شَرَّ فَسَقَۃِ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِ وَ اکْفِنِیْ شَرَّ کُلِّ دَآبَّۃٍ رَبِّیْ اٰخِذٌ بِنَاصِیَتِہَا اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْم.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Allah! I ask You in the capacity of the one who is helpless and powerless. I ask You as the one who is indigent and in troubles. I plead as the one who is weak and I present myself as the one who is degraded and is immersed in sins. I ask You as the one who has pledged his soul to You sincerely, covered his face with dust, have put his forehead in Your presence, whose tears flow continuously due to Your fear, who is crying in Your presence, who has accepted his evil deeds in Your presence, who has forgotten Your advice, all his arguments are rendered useless. By the right of Muhammad and his progeny and by Your right which is great and is pertaining to these Holy personalities, send blessings on them as per Your splendor and send blessing on the progeny of Your Prophet and grant me better than what You have granted to those believers who have preceded me and better than that which You have given to other believers, and better than that which You will be granting to Your servants who will be born till the Day of Judgment all the goodness in this world and the Hereafter. O Generous! Pardon my past sins in this sitting and grant me help to abstain from sins in future, and grant me Divine help to do Hajj and Umrah this year and that Hajj and Umrah, which is accepted by You. O Generous One. And grant me this privilege as long as I am alive. O Generous! O Generous! Help me in fulfilling the needs of my family. Help me in fulfilling my duties and responsibilities protect me from the mischief of the Arabs and non-Arabs. Save me from the mischief of deviation from the jinns and the humans. Protect me from the harm of every walking creature on the land as You are the Lord of their destiny. Surely my Lord is on the right (truth) path.
