are acceptable to You, bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny

deeds, improve my condition, ease for me my affairs and increase my
sustenance. By Your independent existence make me free of wants from
this world, save my face, hands, tongue and chastity so that I do not ask
from anyone other than You. Make ways in my dealings and make the
ways vast, as You are the Knower and I am ignorant. You are possessor
of Power and I am feeble and You have power over all things. By Your
mercy O most Merciful of all the mercifuls. And bless the leader of all the
Prophets, our leader Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) the messenger and his
progeny (a.s.) the pure.
