    اللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ مَطَرٍ حابِسٍ، وَحَجَرٍ يابِسٍ، وَلَيْلٍ دامِسٍ، وَرَطْبٍ وَيابِسٍ، رُدَّ عَيْنَ الْعايِنِ عَلَيْهِ فِي كَبِدِهِ وَنَحْرِهِ وَماله، ﴿فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرىٰ مِنْ فُطُورٍ، ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خٰاسِئاً وَ هُوَ حَسِيرٌ﴾

    Oh God, the Lord of the rain, and the stone is dry, and the night is damp, and the water is dry, and the eyes of the eyes are turned away from him, (Return of sight, do you see it from breakfast, then return of sight, the two balls turn towards you especially, and it is a carpet)

    اللّٰهُمَّ ذَا السُّلْطانِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَالْمَنِّ الْقَدِيمِ، وَالْوَجْهِ الْكَرِيمِ، ذَا الْكَلِماتِ التَّامَّاتِ وَالدَّعَواتِ الْمُسْتَجَابَاتِ، عافِ فُلانَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِ الْجِنِّ وَأَعْيُنِ الْإِنْسِ.

    O Allah, the Possessor of great power, ancient favor, and noble countenance, the Possessor of perfect words and answered supplications, save so-and-so from the souls of the jinn and the eyes of mankind.
