Transliteration
Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min jāri-s-sū’, wa min zawjin tushayyibunī qabla-l-mashīb, wa min waladi-y-yakūnu ʿalayya rabbā, wa mi-m-māli-y-yakūnu ʿalayya ʿadhābā, wa min khalīli-m-mākir, ʿaynuhu tarānī, wa qalbuhū yarʿānī, ir-ra’ā ḥasanatan dafanahā wa idhā ra’ā sayyi’atan adhāʿahā.
Translation
O Allah, I seek Your protection from an evil neighbour; from a spouse who will age me ahead of time; from a child who will rule over me; from wealth that will become a punishment for me; from a cunning friend whose eyes see me yet his heart keeps guard over me: if he sees any good, he conceals it and if he sees any bad, he announces it.
