اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ اَطْعَمْتَ
allaahumma lakal hamdo at-a’mta
O Allah! To You belongs all praise.
In al-Iqbaal: From al-Sayyid Yahya ibn al-Husain ibn Harun al-Husaini in his Amali: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had eaten a few morsels, he (s.a.w.a.) would say:
وَ سَقَيْتَ وَ اَرْوَيْتَ
wa saqayta wa arwayta
You have fed, given drink and quenched the thirst;;
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ مَكْفُوْرٍ
falakal hamdo ghayra makfoorin
so all praise belongs to you, without ingratitude,
وَ لَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَغْنًى
wa laa mowadda-i’n wa laa mustaghnan .
and without leave, and without (seeking) independence from You.
