يَا اَللهُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا مَوْجُوْدُ يَا جَوَّادُ يَا بَاسِطُ يَا كَرِيْمُ يَا وَهَّابُ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ يَا غَنِيُّ يَا مُغْنِيُ يَا فَتَّاحُ يَا رَزَّاقُ يَا عَلِيْمُ يَا حَكِيْمُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ يَا رَحْمَنُ يَارَحِيْمُ يَا بَدِيْعَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ اِنْفَحْنِيْ مِنْكَ بِنَفْحَةِ خَيْرٍ تُغْنِنِيْ بِهَا عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ إِنْ تَسْتَفْتِحُوْا فَقَدْ جَائَكُمُ الْفَتْحُ إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُّبِيْنًا نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيْبٌ اَللَّهُمَّ يَا غَنِيُّ يَا حَمِيْدُ يَامُبْدِئُ يَا مُعِيْدُ يَاوَدُوْدُ يَا ذَا الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيْدُ يَا فَعَّالًا لِمَا يُرِيْدُ إِكْفِنِيْ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَأَغْنِنِيْ بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ وَإحْفِظْنِيْ بِمَا حَفِظْتَ بِهِ الذِّكْرُ وَأنْصُرْنِيْ بِمَا نَصَرْتَ بِهِ الرُّسُلُ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَئٍ قَدِيْرٌ وَبِالْإِجَابَةِ جَدِيْرٌ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ
“God! The One and Only, the Ever-Existing, the Most Generous, the Expander, the Very Kind, the Giver, the Possessor of unlimited blessings, the Independent, the Enricher, the One who grants victory, the Provider, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise, the Ever-Living, the Ever-Lasting, the Merciful, the Most-Kind, the Most Compassionate, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the Owner of majesty and honour, the Affectionate One, God, the Giver, blow for me a breeze of goodness that grants me independence from every being other than You. [You have indeed declared in the Qurʾān] the following, “If you have been praying for victory [O believers], victory has now indeed come unto you.” [1]“Verily, We have given you a manifest victory.” [2] “Help from God and a near victory [is here].” [3] God, the All-Independent, the Praiseworthy, the Initiator, the Reviver, the Loving, the Owner of the majestic throne, the One that carries out what He wills, let your permissible matters suffice for me, away from your prohibitions. Bless me with independence from everyone else other than You, via Your [exclusive] bounties. Protect me with that which you protect the Qurʾān. Aid me with the same support You helped the prophets with, You are indeed Ever-Powerful over everything, and the most worthy to accept [this supplication of mine] by Your sheer mercy, for You are the All-Merciful.” – (Reference: Ḥayāt Al-Ḥayawān Al-Kubrā)
