Arabic

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظْلَلْنَ وَرَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَقْلَلْنَ وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضْلَلْنَ وَرَبَّ الرِّيَاحِ وَمَا ذَرَيْنَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ وَخَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ أَهْلِهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا

Transliteration

Allaahumma Rabbas-samaawaatis-sab'i wa maa azlalna, wa Rabbal-aradeenas-sab'i wa maa aqlalna, wa Rabbash-shayaateeni wa maa adlalna, wa Rabbar-riyaahi wa maa dharayna. As'aluka khayra haazihil-qaryati wa khayra ahlihaa wa khayra maa feehaa. Wa a'oodhu bika min sharrihaa wa sharri ahlihaa wa sharri maa feehaa.

Translation

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all they shade, Lord of the seven earths and all they carry, Lord of the devils and all they misguide, Lord of the winds and all they scatter. I ask You for the goodness of this town, the goodness of its people, and the goodness of what is in it. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, the evil of its people, and the evil of what is in it.
