Arabic
Romanisation
Yā Ḥayyu yā Qayyūmu bika astaghīthu fa-aṣliḥ lī sha’nī kullah, wa lā takilnī ilā nafsī ṭarfata ‘ayn.
Context
We also relate from (the book of Ibn as-Sunnī) from Anas 
that the Messenger of Allah 
asked Fāṭimah 
: “What prevents you from hearing what I advise you to do? Say in the morning and in the evening: ‘O Living and Everlasting, from You I seek help. Set right all my affairs and do not entrust me to myself for the blink of an eye.’” [35].
