Translation
O Allah, I seek Your guidance by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. For You have power; I have none. And You know; I know not. You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter is good for me both in my religion and my livelihood and in the consequences of my affairs - or he said: in the immediate and the distant - then ordain it for me and make it easy for me, then bless me in it. And if in Your knowledge, this matter is bad for me in my religion and my livelihood and in the consequences of my affairs - or he said: in the immediate and the distant - then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and ordain for me the good wherever it may be, and cause me to be pleased with it. (Pray 2 rak'ahs and then make this dua)
