اَللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ، وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ، أَهْلَ الثَّنَاءِ وَالْمَجْدِ، أَحَقُّ مَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ، وَكُلُّنَا لَكَ عَبْدٌ، اَللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

Allaahumma Rabbanaa lakal-hamdu mil'as-samawaati wa mil’al-ardi, wa mil'a maa shi'ta min shay'in ba'du, ahlath-thanaa'i wal-majdi, ahaqqu maa qaalal 'abdu, wa kullunaa laka 'abdun. Allaahumma laa maani'a limaa a'taita, wa laa mu'tiya limaa mana'ta, wa laa yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jaddu

O Allah, our Rabb (Lord), to You is praise in all the heavens and all the earth, and all that You Will (to create) afterwards, O You, Who are worthy of praise and glory, the most worthy of what a slave says - and we are all Your slaves: no one can withhold what You give, or give what You withhold, and riches cannot avail a wealthy person against You.
