In the name of Allah,The Beneficent, The Merciful

 allahumma ashrah bilqur’ani sadre

 O Allah: (please) expand my breast through the Qur’an

 wasta`mil bilqur’ani badane

 And use my body for the Qur’an

 wa nawwir bilqur’ani basare

 And enlighten my sight by the Qur’an

 wa a§liq bilqur’ani lisane

 wa a`inne `alayhi ma abqaytany
