اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ، وَقَهْرِ الرِّجَالِ.

Allahumma 'iinnee 'a'oodhu bika min al-hammi waalhazani، wa'a'oodhu bika min al-'ajzi waalkasali، wa'a'oodhu bika min al-jubni waalbukhli، wa'a'oodhu bika min ghalabahi ad-ddayni، waqahri ar-rrijaali.
