Arabic Text
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قَدِيمٌ وَهَذَا الْعَامُ جَدِيدٌ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ ، وَسَنَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ ، نَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا ، وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَنَسْتَكْفِيكَ فَوَاتَهَا وَشُغْلَهَا ، فَارْزُقْنَا الْعِصْمَةَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ سَلَّطْتَ عَلَيْنَا عَدُوًّا بَصِيرًا بِعُيُوبِنَا ، وَمُطَّلِعًا عَلَى عَوْرَاتِنَا ، مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِينَا وَمِنْ خَلْفِنَا ، وَعَنْ أَيْمَانِنَا وَشَمَائِلِنَا ، يَرَانَا هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا نَرَاهُمْ
اللَّهُمَّ آيِسْهُ مِنَّا كَمَا آيَسْتَهُ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ ، وَقَنِّطْهُ مِنَّا كَمَا قَنَّطْتَهُ مِنْ عَفْوِكَ ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ كَمَا حُلْتَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ
إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، وَأَنْتَ الْفَعَّالُ لِمَا تُرِيدُ
وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
