بِسْمِ الله الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

اَللَّهُمَّ هذَا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ

O my God! This is the month of Ramadhan in which you have revealed the Quran

وَأَمَرْتَ فِيهِ بِعِمَارَةِ الْمَسَاجِدِ وَالدُّعَاءِ وَالصِّيَامِ وَالْقِيَامِ وَضَمِنْتَ لَنَا فِيهِ الاِسْتِجَابَةَ

and ordered us to build mosques during it and pray, observe fasting and do acts of worship. You have guaranteed its fulfilment for us.

فَقَدِ اجْتَهَدْنَا وَأَنْتَ أَعَنْتَنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا فِيهِ

We strove and You helped us. So please forgive us during it

وَلاَ تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَّا وَاعْفُ عَنَّا فَإِنَّكَ رَبُّنَا وَارْحَمْنَا فَإِنَّكَ سَيِّدُنَا

and do not make this the last month of Ramadhan in our lifetime Pardon us as You are our Lord. Please have mercy upon us as You are our Master

وَاجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ إِلى مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَرِضْوَانِكَ

Please let us be amongst those who return to Your Forgiveness and Your Pleasure,

بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الأَجَلُّ الأَعْظَمُ

For the sake of Muhammad and his Household, for verily You are the Great, the Grand.
