My Lord, I ask You for the good of this day and the good of what comes after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil of what comes after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the miseries of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.
