اللَّهُمَّ ٱرْحَمْ جِلْدِيَ ٱلرَّقِيقَ

allahumma irham jildiya alrraqiqa

O Allah, (please) have mercy upon my soft skin

وَعَظْمِيَ ٱلدَّقِيقَ

wa `azmiya alddaqiqa

and my fragile bone.

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فَوْرَةِ ٱلْحَرِيقِ

wa a`udhu bika min fawrati alhariqi

I pray Your protection against the outburst of fire.

يَا أُمَّ مِلْدَمٍ

ya umma mildamin

O Ummu-Mildam (i.e. fever),

إِنْ كُنْتِ آمَنْتِ بِٱللَّهِ

in kunti amanti billahi

if you believe in Allah,

فَلاَ تَأْكُلِي ٱللَّحْمَ

fala ta'kuli allahma

then do not eat the flesh,

وَلاَ تَشْرَبِي ٱلدَّمَ

wa la tashrabi alddama

do not drink the blood,

وَلاَ تَفُورِي مِنَ ٱلْفَمِ

wa la tafuri min alfami

do not boil in the mouth,

وَٱنْتَقِلِي إِلىٰ مَنْ يَزْعَمُ أَنَّ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلٰهاً آخَرَ

wantaqili ila man yaz`amu anna ma`a allahi ilahan akhara

and move to one who claims that there is another god with Allah,

فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

fa'inni ashhadu an la ilaha illa allahu

for I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ

wahdahu la sharika lahu

One and Only and having no associate,

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

wa ashhadu anna muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluhu

and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
