اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا، وَفِي لِسَانِي نُورًا، وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا، وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي نُورًا، وَمِنْ تَحْتِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ شِمَالِي نُورًا، وَمِنْ أَمَامِي نُورًا، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ فِي نَفْسِي نُورًا، وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا، وَعَظِّمْ لِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْنِي نُورًا، اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ فِي عَصَبِي نُورًا، وَفِي لَحْمِي نُورًا، وَفِي دَمِي نُورًا، وَفِي شَعْرِي نُورًا، وَفِي بَشَرِي نُورًا، [اللَّهُمَ اجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا فِي قَبْرِي.. وَنُورًا فِي عِظَامِي] [وَزِدْنِي نُورًا، وَزِدْنِي نُورًا، وَزِدْنِي نُورًا] [وَهَبْ لِي نُورًا عَلَى نُورٍ].

[ Allaahummaj'al lee nooran fee qabree wa nooran fee 'idhaamee. ] [ Wa zidnee nooran, wa zidnee nooran, wa zidnee nooran. ] [ Wa hab lee nooran 'alaa noor. ]

O Allah, place light in my heart, and on my tongue light, and in my ears light and in my sight light, and above me light, and below me light, and to my right light, and to my left light, and before me light and behind me light. Place in my soul light. Magnify for me light, and amplify for me light. Make for me light and make me a light. O Allah, grant me light, and place light in my nerves, and in my body light and in my blood light and in my hair light and in my skin light.⁽¹⁾ [ O Allah, make for me a light in my grave... and a light in my bones. ]⁽²⁾ [ Increase me in light, increase me in light, increase me in light. ]⁽³⁾ [ Grant me light upon light. ]⁽⁴⁾
