اَللّٰهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِيْ بِتَرْكِ مَعَاصِيْكَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِيْ وَ ارْحَمْنِيْ مِنْ تَكَـلُّفِ مَا لَا يَعْنِيْنِيْ وَ ارْزُقْنِيْ حُسْنَ الْمَنْظَرِ فِيْمَا يُرْضِيْكَ عَنِّيْ وَ أَلْزِمْ قَلْبِيْ حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِيْ وَ ارْزُقْنِيْ أَنْ أَتْلُوَهٗ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيْكَ عَنِّي اَللّٰهُمَّ نَوِّرْ بِكِتَابِكَ بَصَرِيْ وَ اشْرَحْ بِهٖ صَدْرِيْ وَ فَرِّحْ بِهٖ قَلْبِيْ وَ أَطْلِقْ بِهٖ لِسَانِيْ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْ بِهٖ بَدَنِيْ وَ قَوِّنِيْ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ وَ أَعِنِّيْ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّهٗ لَا مُعِيْنَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أَنْتَ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.

Translation:

"O Allah! Be merciful on me by making me obedient to thee and not to be disobedient till my life time. Be merciful on me by not commanding me what is beyond my capacity. Grant me such virtuous conduct which makes Thee Pleased with me. Make my heart to preserve thy book (Quran) as thou has taught me. Grant me so that I may recite it in the manner which makes Thee pleased with me. O Allah! Brighten my eyes: and expend for my breast with it; and open my mind with it and free with my tongue: and devote my body to it; and strengthen me over it and help me over it because certainly there is no helper in this matter save thee. There is no god except Thee."
