اَللّٰهُمَّ لَا تُعْطِنِىْ كِتَابِىْ بِشِمَالِىْ
allāhumma lā tu`ṭinī kitābī bishimālī
O Lord! Do not give my book of deeds in my left hand,
2
وَلَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِىْ
walā min warā-i ẓahrī
nor from behind my back,
3
وَلَا تَجْعَلْهَا مَغْلُوْلَةً اِلٰى عُنُقِىْ
walā taj`alhā maghlūlatan ilā `unuqī
nor chain it to my neck.
4
وَاَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ مُقَطَّعَاتِ النِّيْرَانِ
wa-a`ūdhu bika min muqaṭṭa`ātin nīrān
I seek refuge in You from the Hell-fire.
