"Allaahumma yaa dzal manni walaa yumannu alaika ya dzal jalaali wal ikraam, Yaa dzath thauli wal in aam laa ilaaha illaa anta, dahrul laajiin, Wa jaarul Mustajiiriin, Wa amaanul khaa ifiin.

Allahumma in kunta katabta nii indaka fii ummil kitaabi syaqiyyan aw mahruuman aw mathruudan aw muqtarran alayya fir rizqi famhu.

Allahumma bi fadllika syaqaawatii wa hirmaanii wa thardii waq titaari rizqii wa ats-bitnii indaka fii ummil kitaabi sa 'iidan marzuuqan muwaf faqal lil khairaat. Fa innaka qulta wa qaulta wa qaulukal haqqu fii kitaabikal munazzali 'alaa nabiyyikal mursali, yamhul laahumaa yasyaa u wa yutsbitu wa indahuu ummul kitaabi.

Ilaahii bittajallil Aadhami fii lailatin nishfi min syahri syabaanil mukarramil latii yufraqu fiihaa kullu amrin hakiim wa yubram ishrif annii minal balaa i maa alamu wa maa laa alam wa anta allaamul ghuyuubi birahmatika yaa arhamar raahimiin.

Meaning:

"O Allah my Lord, O One who has grace and no one gives You grace, O One who has majesty and glory, O One who has power and who gives favors, no God has the right to be worshiped but You, the shelter of those who flee , a refuge for those who seek refuge and a safe place for those who fear.

Oh God, my Lord, if You have established me in the Ummul Kitab (Lauh Mahfuz) that is by Your side as a person who is wretched, hindered, expelled or narrowed in sustenance, may You remove it.

Oh God, my Lord, by your grace what is in the Ummul Kitab is about me as a person who is wretched, hindered, driven out and deprived of sustenance. And may You decide in the Ummul Kitab that is by Your side so that I become a happy person, get a lot of sustenance and be successful in all good things. because indeed You have said in Your book and Your word is true which was revealed through the mouth of the Prophet whom You sent, God abolishes what He wills and establishes, and by His side is the Ummul Kitab.

O my Lord, Thanks to the great appearance (of Your mercy) on the night of the middle of the glorious month of Sha'ban, all the matters that were set with wisdom were detailed. May You save me from all the disasters that I know and that I do not know and that You know more (than me), and You are All-Knowing of all that is unseen, thanks to Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.

And may God bestow mercy on our master Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, may He bestow peace (upon them)."
