اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ، اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا

Allahumma Rabban-nas, adh-hibil-ba’s, ishfi Antash-Shafi, la shifa’a illa shifa’uka, shifa’an la yughadiru saqaman

O Allah, Lord of people, remove the affliction and grant healing. You are the Healer; only Your healing is true healing. Grant healing that leaves no illness.

أَسْأَلُ اللّٰهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ
